Great song but not agree with vid. Stalin was a tyrant too. In the early SWWII he was cheering up Hitler with his invasion. And Stalin killed many people too of his own army and from other countries. I think u want communism but Stalin´s one wasn´t communism at all. Was a dictator like Hitler or Franco but he had a red star in his flag, THAT IS NOT COMMUNISM, he used his people to win the war. He defeated Germany but not a hero, his people was.
"National Socialism" has nothing to do with real socialism. The name was basically there to keep the left-wing working class aspect of the party happy, who Hitler then had killed. The name stuck.
Dude communists suck du you really think you are free in those lands if you even so much as say you dont like your leader your dead.......i did not like bush much but at least i can say that because he wont kill me! i can also say i dont like obama because i am free!......and you turned a clash sont into something that its not! punk rock is not for crap like this its not left or right wing its punk!
Great fucking video ArtMinister. At first I was sort of put off by it's Maoist, afiliation but you correctly hit it right on the head. Love it! Death to facsist everywhere!
Cool video. Though I don't in the least agree with Mao nor Uncle Joe. I do agree with you in that comunist are the best fighting fascisim. I live in a place where there is "freedom" of information, thankfully I met a political movement that has discovered and alternative political history to the same old capitalist & comunist retorics. Let me turn you on to The LaRouche Youth Movement. WLYM.com and learn about the American system of economics. I know is a mouthfull. Check it. Great jam.
communists are humans just like capitalists...when will you people learn that human beings are the common denominator here? its not communism that did it, it was humans. guns dont kill people,ignorant apes with guns kill people.
This is kind of like a Commie version of Reefer Madness ... So Bad it's Hilarious. The Sad part is that Joe Strummer would have been really pissed about this, I was a Huge Clash Fan and I know for a fact that they didn't have much use for ANYBODY's Politics.
communism wont work because people dont want to be equal and share their wealth. realisticaly the strong and corrupt will always rule no matter what label you put on your type of government
Communism is gay as hell though, I used to think communism was alright back when I was a kid with little life experience. Hope the guy who posted this vid is in a similiar situation and able to grow out of it!
who ever made the video to this song is a fucking idiot. it has nothing to do with the clashes political views, and is totally self contradictory. brilliant song though
I THINK YOUR WRONG,THE SONG GETTO DEFENDER IS ABOUT JUNKIES DEFENDING HERION IN INNER CITYS, ,AND MOST OF THE ALBUM COMBAT ROCK,IS ABOUT 3 WORLD COUNTRYS. THAT THE UNITED STATES C.I.A SURPORTS.WITH DRUGS AND GUNS.
@Mrjoeypunkrock Are you serious? ""The ghetto Prince of gutter poets, was bounced out of the room. (Jean Arthur Rimbaud) By the bodyguards of Greed, for disturbing the tomb." Rimbaud was a libertine, the song also talks about the Communist Paris Commune!!
I find this video offensive. The Clash, like myself are left of center on a political basis. However that does not mean they hail dictators like Stalin and Mao who imposed Communism on people with a high dose of violence and no freedoms. Left wing politics as endorsed by The Clash and myself has nothing to do with this bullshit.
@Wrapped4 I unlike alot of people on this post have seen and been on tour with the CLASH!! Yes imagine that at BOND"S and all around the world!! Come's down to not selling out and keeping it real & about what was going on in the world when we were blessed with their Music!! There's Alot Of Violence In Truth iaonation@yahoo.com
Communism is fucking disgusting even in the most ideal conditions. I grew up in a home where communism and socialism was shoved down my throat by my parents. They claimed to be so open and liberal minded, but they were simply autocrats like most communist or extremist who thought their opinion was the only right one. Fuck communism!
I find it more than a little ironic that first you say how "war is not right", then after that you say "Communism will win" and "We beat the nazis, we win wars".
Communism sucks. It's basically like trying to make a river flow backwards.
In fact, communism is so weak on ideas that governments must hold down there people and eliminate freedom so there's no strong opposition. Communism hates free minds and free bodies and hates people in general.
I've been lookin for the b-side to should I stay or should I go....It starts...situation knowwhere rush fro the change of atmosphere I can't go on so i give in gotta get myself right out of her..If you have it or know someone that does please pass it on to me..classic I so want to hear it...Thanks xxx
I totally agree with certain aspects of ciommunism. The main reason isn't because I don't believe in a free market. It is because I believe in a fair market. Nothing is ever as they would portray. If I want to sell you a widget for a price and you want to pay that price, it is a free market transaction, as long as no strings are attached. If I told you that it is the only widget, when it isn't, that isn't a fair market.
How many salesmen at a car lot will show you a 3,000 lb. car that will get over 100 mpg? Why not? Because the automobile manufacturers won't manufacture them. Have people invented them? Yes...including the automobile manufacturers. They tell you it is the only widget because their strings are being pulled in the name of profit. They often regulate what they shouldn't, while refusing to regulate what they should. It is the fault of those types that I embrace some communism...
...just so long as the communism that I embrace is not the standard, run of the mill style of communism that we have all seen too many times in the past, where the international financiers finance both the communism and capitalism, while pulling both strings for additional immoral personal gain. If freedom means the right to screw others over, it also means the right to fight it.
Exactly, Ones of the biggest murderregims in the modern world. Freindly enough to kill their OWN red,black,white, blue,pink,brown,grey etc people by Knives, guns or starvation..Nice idols to really nice freinds..Dont diss Joe Strummer. Not Clash either.
I would like to play this tune blarring from a ghetto blaster just outside the gate to the Canadian Armed forces base at Wainwright,AB with troops loading up for their tour of Afganistan to fight the Taliban.2009
I love the part where Stalin is bobbing his head with the headphones on!!!!
You should zoom in on his foot and show a dissenter/jew/cossak/muslim/capitalist/or anyone else who dis-agreed getting kicked until dead! Just like Stalin would do! Classic Propoganda!!!!
The real seat of the proletariat was murdered in Mexico City- Leon Trotsky after that, the Rothchilds owned Stalin to make themselves rich and justify the cold war, during which their wealth grew astronomically.
'Well... 'huskernation9', the Soviets actually did most of the work during WWII, they lost 40,000+ civilians alone during the Battle of Stalingrad, so we owe them. '
Yeah...we owe them for being noob enough to lose that many civilians.
This is the original version that came out on LP and cassette. Afterwards, for copyright reasons if I'm not mistaken, the commercials were removed (unfortunately) and made the song not as nice - at least to those who had the original version and then got the CD.
We wouldn't be speaking German, first of all Hitler had no intention of actually taking over Britain for himself. And he admired the British Empire too much to get rid of all that culture and language which he was actually fascinated by and had a lot of respect for. It was about German borders not world domination.

This comment has received too many negative votesshow
they didnt do shit. if we left them alone they would have lost the war. without us and britains help germany would have fought a 1 front war instead of a 2 front war which helped the ussr a lot. its the soviets fault for not being ready for war.
are you stupid or something? the USSR DIDNT HAVE THE RESOURCES TO FIGHT A TOTAL WAR!!!! thats why stalin kept pressuring great britain and the us to open a western front. moron if we didnt intervene the soviet union would be germany right now. the soviets even got so desperate that they were recruiting asians and women. not saying that its bad to do so but just saying that they couldnt handle germany. trust me i took AP European history and AP world history.
You have quite clearly missed the whole point of this song.
