[manic expression]

Venceremos, El Necio (among other Silvio Rodriguez masterpieces), The Red Flag, Bella Ciao, Socialism is Good

I'm really not into any of that old-school hymn stuff. I will however, give you Bella Ciao, but more importantly Spanish Bombs by the Clash.

[Dóchas]

go on home british soldiers - shebeen

[Oktyabr]

Come out ye black and tans
the foggy dew
the boys of the old brigade
oro se dhe bheatha bhaile (Have no idea how it is spelled)

Those are the Irish songs for me.

Jim Garland's I Don't Want Your Millions Mister.

Garland also wrote The Death of Harry Simms, but I haven't come across his own recording of it. Pete Seeger recorded a good version though. Harry Simms was a Jewish union leader shot dead by a sheriff's deputy during the Harlan County War of 1932.
