General Workers' Union of Germany

General Workers' Union of Germany (German: Allgemeine Arbeiter-Union Deutschlands; AAUD), was the name of factory organisations formed following the German Revolution of 1918–1919 in opposition to the traditional trade unions. The AAUD was formed by the left communists in the Communist Workers' Party of Germany (KAPD) who considered organising based on trades as being an outmoded form of organisation and instead advocated organising workers based on factories, thus forming the AAUD. The council communists organised these factory organisations as the basis for region-wide workers' councils.

A section of the AAUD led by Otto Rühle, based in Essen, split from the AAUD, forming the Essen tendency of the AAUD, AAUD-E.

    Braindead Hero

    by: Udo

    For a long time he's been lucky man
    No difference if it's good or bad
    The trigger's his - the orders others
    No way to stop the final blow
    The message: here ya go
    The countdown's on a roll
    War against the world
    All systems deadly armed
    Machine, man, all in one
    They're all oblivious to the crime
    Braindead hero
    Braindead hero - out of the sun he comes
    Braindead hero
    Braindead hero - feel the blazing guns
    Now we got to blow his circuitry
    Drain the poison from his veins
    Degenerate - corrupt his memories
    Fire at will - just do or die
    The message: here ya go
    The countdown's on a roll
    War against the world
    All systems deadly armed
    Machine, man, all in one
    They're all oblivious to the crime
    Braindead hero
    Braindead hero -like a hammer from the sky
    Braindead hero
    Braindead hero - supersonic cry
    You better stay just where you are
    Consequences in the fire
    Braindead hero
    Braindead hero - out of the sun he comes
    Braindead hero
