Solidarity Song

[Workers-Control-Over-Prod]

I find this (http://vimeo.com/47227744) video a brilliant tactic, twist on the original Solidarity song of Brecht

G8AaG5SSrdQ.

This new communist agit-prop song has become quite popular and I heard it first on the radio. It's brilliant; It combines Brecht's lyrics with the popular modern music and video genre (of which I do not hold much).

Our masters, whoever they may be seen, our disunity, as long as they divide us, they remain our masters.
Ref.
Workers of the world agrees, you and you are free. Your regiments break every tyranny! Forward, without forgetting, and the question asked korekt when starving or when eating: Whose tomorrow is the day? Whose world is the world?

That's interesting. I didn't expect the melody to be so completely different but the message comes through as well. Cool that it's getting radio play.

There's only one proper English language recording of the song that I know of, done by Cornelius Cardew/People's Liberation Music in the 1970's. It's not bad at all either.

Sounds like some shit song song that would play in a movie about a suburban teenagers trouble with puberty and growing up
