Jedem Das Seine
"'" () is the literal German translation of the Latin phrase ''suum cuique'', meaning "to each his own" or "to each what he deserves". During World War II the phrase was cynically used by the Nazis as a motto displayed over the entrance of Buchenwald concentration camp. This has resulted in use of the phrase being considered controversial in modern Germany. History ''Jedem das Seine'' has been an idiomatic German expression for several centuries. For example, it is found in the works of Martin Luther and contemporaries. It appears in the title of a cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach, '' Nur jedem das Seine'' (BWV 163), first performed at Weimar in 1715. Some nineteenth-century comedies bear the title ''Jedem das Seine'', including works by Johann Friedrich Rochlitz and Caroline Bernstein. An ironic twist on the proverb, ''"jedem das Seine, mir das Meiste"'' ("to each his own, to me the most"), has been known in the reservoir of German idioms for a long time, including its incl ...

Communist society also involves the absence of private property, social classes, money, and the state. Communists often seek a voluntary state of self-governance, but disagree on the means to this end. This reflects a distinction between a more libertarian approach of communization, revolutionary spontaneity, and workers' self-management, and a more vanguardist or communist party-driven approach through the development of a constitutional socialist st ...
