I don't blame her for the historical errors, I blame the capitalist school system in the US
-
She's probably talking about May Day itself when she said that. Either that, or the AMERICAN LYRICS to the Internationale, rather than the original song.
-
Billy Bragg has a much better version. His lyrics are miles more correct
-
@JreynoldsC1010 The problem with these lyrics is not that they're wrong, but that they're an extremely literal translation of the French original which, as Pete Seeger has observed, is completely unsingable in English and has none of the poetic merit of the original.

My response when I saw this video:
*Facepalm*
I have nothing to say to his typical idiocy.
-
Typical American history. Comepletely incorrect. And the wrong lyrics.
-
Some awful history there, but hey, the spirit is right.

(The Haymarket riots were 5 years after L'Internationale was written, anyway)

To honor the American workers in the aftermath of the Haymarket Riots? What the hell? It was to express and preserve the spirit of the Paris Commune after it was brutally suppressed after the Franco-Prussian war as the poet, Eugene Pottier, hid for his life in a cellar.

@AaronTAB
Yeah, she is a little confused. However, May Day originated to honor the Haymarket Riots. Maybe that is what she is getting confused about. Yeah, that's right, that communist holiday originated HERE. Too bad we have forgotten our radical heritage. High time to recall it.
