So I'm not a tankie at all, but I think this tankie song is hilarious:

"Three sad Trotskyists Broke Rocks in a Gulag"

Translation of lyrics


Three sad Trotskyists
Who ended up in a gulag for betraying each other ponder
for the error they committed by following Leon Trotsky
Coming to the following conclusion:

Trotsky!
Damn Menshevik opposite to Lenin and Marxism-Leninism
He lied to us and filled the Red Army up with Tsarist officers
He is the one who should be here!

Trotskyists, dirty traitors!
They divide many times between themselves because they are traitors
Just like their leader Leon Trotsky
Ramon Mercader, you turned a piolet into a workers' icon

Trotskyism
Opportunist and petty burgeois ideological tendency
They wanted to destroy the Soviet Union with entryism
Currently they are vulgar reformists rejected by the left

Trotskyists, dirty traitors!
They divide many times between themselves because they are traitors
Just like their leader Leon Trotsky
Ramon Mercader, you turned a piolet into a workers' icon

Three sad Trotskyists
Betraying each other just like it's normal they ended up breaking rocks in a great gulag
Wishing death to Leon Trotsty
Ramon Mercader, you turned a piolet into a workers' icon

I've heard it before. The song is so badly performed that it is hilarious.

I also used it to piss off trots.

EDIT: the line is "entryism" not "centrism".

[Anglo-Saxon Philistine]

Doesn't "piolet" simply mean "ice axe"? I wonder why comrade Xha-Xha missed a golden opportunity to adopt an ice axe and rifle as the symbols of the PPSh.

Well don't forget ole Cornelius Cardew's ditty

With such lovely lyrics such as:

"There is only one lie,
there is only one truth.

There is the lie of revisionism,
and opportunism
of all hues.
The lie of imperialism,
and reaction.

And there is the truth
of Marxism-Leninism,
of revolution and socialism."


Wouldn't you want to play that if you say it at your pub's jutbox?

...Please tell me this is intentionally parodying the claim that Marxism-Leninism is akin to religion?

Seriously, this must be what church is like in some bizarre alternate universe where destalinization never happened. :laugh:

EDIT: Okay, apparently he was a friend of Hardial Bains, founder of the Communist Party of Canada - Marxist-Leninist. I wish I had something more witty to say, but...holy crap.

Fuck a Trot nonstop.
