I wholly recommend Slavoj Zizek's take on the 1st part of the 9th and its appropriation by different dictatorships and ideologies.

There are better songs if you want to bash fashs.

That video seems cut off. Zizek never gets to explain how Beethoven was criticizing anything with the second part of his symphony. How can lyric-less music criticize anything?

I believe at the time the Church had rules about musical timing for its music and things like certain chords and i think 3/4 timing as a whole were considered a sin.
