@[fructivore:31329] I really concur with this opinion, I am of that generation and when this song was released, I was convinced that we wouldn't be able to avoid the Soviet/NATO war. I would add that the constant symbolic two-tone alarm sound from the synthesiser helped to bring an urgency to this song |

International came out at a time when Communist Eastern European radio stations, mainly Radio Moscow, would find news, or possibly fake news, that discredited Western values and showed that Democracy was worse than Communism, in particular, tolerant of fascism. This example of Veronika Merkoff, shows that a West German girl, apparently personally "guarded" by Somoza "guards", was horribly mutilated by police or military in a pro-Western state. |
