Revolutionary scourge of Bourgeois privilege, Bertolt Brecht was enticed by the Soviet occupation forces to return to East Berlin by the offer of his own theater and theater company, the Berliner Ensemble... and of course, the opportunity for the most generous state subsidies ... He did however, retained his conveniently acquired Austrian nationality as he did overseas bank accounts from which he received valuable hard currency remittances. Brecht's copyrights on his revolutionary writings were held by a Swiss company, beyond the reach of the East German Communist Soviet puppet regime. And even after Brecht provided shameful public cover for East German Communist puppet regime and the Soviet Union for its brutal crushing of the East German Workers Uprising in June 1953, Brecht continued to drive around East Berlin in a pre-war DKW car—a rare luxury in the impoverished East Berlin!<BR/><BR/>Blog-readers would do well to read the entire chapter that Paul Johnson devotes to Brecht in his book: <B>Intellectuals</B>.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15644559.post-68353097696359946442009-03-20T16:56:00.000-07:002009-03-20T16:56:00.000-07:00Amazing the contrast between the words and his swe...Amazing the contrast between the words and his sweet boyish appearance.exuberancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02180872922559635562noreply@blogger.com
