The Internationale English

This is lyrics
Arise, you branded by a curse,
You whole world of the starving and enslaved!
Our indignant intellect boils,
Ready to lead us into a fight to the death.
We will destroy this world of violence
Down to the foundations, and then
We will build our new world.
He who was nothing will become everything!
This will be the final
and decisive battle.
With the Internationale
the human race will arise.

No one will grant us deliverance,
Not god, nor king, nor hero.
We will win our liberation,
With our very own hands.
To throw down oppression with a skilled hand,
To take back what is ours
Fire up the furnace and hammer boldly,
while the iron is still hot!
|: This will be the final
and decisive battle.
With the Internationale
the human race will arise. :|

The saddest thing is that "socialists" can hear this song, and still do nothing. Anyone with brains enough to hear it will know that this is a call to arms, and yet you still sit around and let the fascists win.

It makes me sick, honestly.

Bragg's version is crap, and unfortunately it has become the dominant English version. He sings like a bloody beagle, and the key is wrong. Internationale must always be in Bb.

@Scatty711uk The last bastion of socialism itself is Cuba. As a matter of fact, this song represents perfectly the Cuban Revolution and the years after.

[Scatty711uk]

Socialism is so good and did so well that the main country to adopt it and this awful anthem, for over 70 years, imploded and ceased to exist nearly 20 years ago. Whilst in that time oppressing and exterminating the very people it purported to uphold and cherish the most, replacing exploitative capitalists with even more exploitative 'socialists'. Long live the revolution?

[gingashields]

What a load of mawkish twaddle.

There is, but it's become the saddest excuse for a CP since the Kautskyites. Originally the CPUSA was made of people who supported the Bolshevik Revolution when it happened while the Socialist Party was dominated by centrists. Now the closest thing we have to a real revolutionary party is the Socialist Party. The World Socialist Party is also a very good party, they publish the fantastic website wsws . org
