about

Joseph Goebbels issues a national broadcast on 18 July 1932 articulating how he sees his role as that of the artist, sculpting with the raw material of the masses.The piano enhances perception of the musical quality of his speech.

lyrics

Die Masse ist an sich Rohstoff. Sie zu gestalten und aus ihr jene Kräfte herauszuholen, die Systeme stürzen und neue Welten aufbauen, wird die erste und vornehmste Aufgabe jeder staatsmännischen Begabung sein. Auch der wahre Politiker ist im letzten Sinne des Wortes ein Künstler. So, wie der Bildhauer den rohen Marmor abzirkelt, behaut und meißelt, so formt der Staatsmann aus dem rohen Stoff Masse, ein Volk, gibt ihm ein inneres Gerippe und ein haltendes Gefüge und bläht im dann jenen schöpferischen Odem ein, der das Volk zur Kulturnation emporwachsen lässt. Wir Nationalsozialisten sind keine Handwerker der Politik, wir sehen in den Tagesfragen und Tagesnöten zwar einen Teil der uns obliegenden Sorgen, aber darüber steht doch ein Wille und darunter liegt eine Idee die Tagesfragen und Tagesnöten, erst den echten Sinn und auch die einzige Lösungsmöglichkeit geben.

The mass is in itself a raw material. To shape them and to bring them out of those forces that overthrow systems and build new worlds will be the first and most important task of any statesman's talent. Even the true politician is, in the last sense, an artist. Just as the sculptor raked, chiselled, and chiselled the raw marble, the stateman formed from the raw material, a people, gave him an inner skeleton and a holding structure, and then puffed in that creative breath which led the people to cultivation Growth. We national socialists are not artisans of politics; we see in the questions of the day and the day a part of the worries that concern us, but there is a will, and there is an idea of the day's questions and the necessaries of the day, first the real sense and the only solution.
