A brief explanation of why The Internationale remains the greatest song in the world, and the anthem that unites the political left in a vision and struggle for a better world.
You are THE most underrated socialist creator, your videos always hit just right. Keep up the great work Comrade!
Sing, workers, for this is OUR song!
And this song will unify humanity in a common strangle to achieve the society of communism
Im of the working class and La Contre Marseilise is my song.
Workers, dont let these people confuse you, capitalism has its flaws, but I would prefer that then no freedom at all.
100% capitalism is awful and unjust however everything else like socialism communism is just a thousand times worse!
"Not a wheel turns, a phone rings, nor a light bulb shines without the kind permission of the working class. Once this massive power is mobilised, no power on Earth can stop it!" - Ted Grant
Honestly, you've got the most breathtaking Production Values, visually, animation and Eisensteinian Montage sequencing/edits, soundtrack syncs et al. independent media episodes I've seen yet. I want to be like you in this department when I (if ever) (would.. ? Should ..?) grow
Up.. ❤ 🎉

Whew...
Thanks 🙏 for this Contribution to the Common efforts.. !!
Worth noting that prestigious university of Tsinghua sung this in different languages! Great vid!
The Internationale gives me an unexplicable feeling of calmness and, at the same time, inspiration and trust in the future of human kind and the working class.
Workers of the world, unite! For we have nothing to lose but our chains!
I love your channel and your videos are always of great quality. another great video!!
While I... Disagree, with your assessment about the necessity of seizing the state - it needn't be seized, merely destroyed, for by its very nature it is a tool of oppression, not liberation -, I do greatly appreciate the video. Solid job!
It need be seized first by the proletariat tthis is a key aspect (DOTP) recognized by marx and even the Ultra left (communizers) Though yes the goal should be abolishment not to use the capitalist social relations to better a country like stalin did
@@kaviarnciggarettes I'm well aware of the Marxist consensus there. That said... Bakunin's critiques turned out to be quite prophetic in some regards, no? Look into Emma Goldman's "My Disillusionment in Russia" - that which Stalin finished, Lenin and Trotsky had already started. When "all power to the Soviets" became "all power to the Bolshevik party", the revolution was already betrayed. And when the Kronstadt sailors were butchered, and the Makhnovists shattered and repressed, the true people's revolution was dead and gone, sacrificed on the altar of power.
One cannot use the master's tools to destroy the master's house, for those tools are tools of oppression, not liberation. One's means must always be aligned towards one's ends, or you'll end up heading in a different direction from what you had initially intended when push comes to shove. Look into Malatesta's ideas in that regard.
What we need is a thoroughly decentralized setup, in which power is immediately placed into the hands of the people themselves, not a centralised "vanguard party" which will merely recreate the old conditions under a new name. How familiar with democratic confederalism are you?
Very nice!
Amazing comparison: As the composer of "Internationale" encapsulated a specific event into a universal application, so did Francis Scott Key 🗝️ into a third-choice but still Inspiring "National Anthem..." Can ya See & feel it . .?
"Oh, Susanna" and "Turkey 🦃 in the straw🧃?!" were other choices, as I recall.. or was "Turkey" Ben Franklin's choice for the National Bird .. ? or was that No-Tread 🪇 "Rattlesnake"...
Losing details from memory but anything's recallable from the ☁️ Cloud, 🌨️ .. so,
The International does not focus about the ideology, its a rallying call for humanity to break their chains and to unite. It fits all parts of the political spectrum. It can fit for the Nationalists to the Socialists.
The Anthem does not glorify Communism in a way the Soviet Anthem glorifies the Soviet Union and Communism's inevitable victory, it's a rallying, a call. A call to arise and unite. Thats what L'Internationalè truly means. A call to arise and rally together, for the events of yesterday won't stop us and the events of the future is on our hands, not theirs.
In the end, it succeeds in it's job as being a universal song of revolution. Its meaning is clean enough to be a canvas of what you truly want it to mean. Do you believe it means a call for the abolishing of the state and formation of a Free Territory? Do you believe it means a call for the working class to finally wake up and overthrow the upper class? Do you believe it calls for change and the final nail to the cross to end the unequal society? It doesnt matter, L'Internationale will succeed in portraying the message you wish it portrays.
L'Internationalè is not a Socialist or Leftist Song, its a tune that acts perfect on its own but can be even a true anthem of Humanity when sung together. What song can be better to be the World Anthem should Humanity inevitably unite under either a Utopia or Dystopia better than L'Internationalè?
In the end, its true meaning will always be a call for change. Arise, for L'Internationalè will be the Human Race. The Chains will Shatter and the Liberation of all People will lead to it being the Human Race!
how does one fuck up singing the internationale so bad
Viva espania!
Who is the singer at the beginning of the video? 😢😢😢
“The Invisibles”
Watching this video and thinking back of my country (China)'s recent history, I feel that tears almost came out of my eyes. We could have sticked to the intentions of the revolution, but only to see our country becoming more and more authoritarian now. As a libertarian that can't really do anything, I already left my beloved homeland, and may it have a brighter future.
China is doing fine without libertarianism.
@@redpen1917 I don't really know if it's fine right now. The economics has been a huge bubble. My family works in a bank so we know the in and outs. Most banks rely on the real estate industry for turnovers since it has been the lowest-risk investments, and the real estate never had a problem till now--the young like us can never own a house of our own. However, the house rent/house cost cannot go down because it's literally linked to banks, so what's going on in China's economy now is the government is trying to hold real estate's price up there so the banks don't collapse, while the young generation can still, never own somewhere to live, also suffering a huge unemployment rate (the official data never shows this, because China thinks if you are in graduate school you are employed BUT in China we PAY to be in graduate school not like in the US we are really employed). The job competition is also crazy, now a local bank's reception employee is asking for a doctor's degree (which is super common in China now).
OK, after the funny state China is in--yes, I also think that no libertarian makes China a stable country, but when things go horribly wrong like last years China's covid policy literally destroyed economy, no one is able to speak up. People around me are literally being dragged into covid concentration camps. No one in the lower level of the government dares to point things out. They are just passively waiting for the higher-ups to realize if they make a mistake or not. There is no feedback in the government system, that's the main issue I have with CCP.
@@notlarryschannel3985 The notion that China’s economy is in a crisis is completely absurd. In a few years China and Chinese people will have the highest standard of living in the world.
@@redpen1917 I already included the explanation. If you are not aware, China now has about 20.4% of unemployment rate in 16-24 yo but 4.2% in 25-59 yo, according to officials. And Chinese officials don't count you as unemployed if you have 1 hour of any sort of work in one month, or if you are still in the school, or if you are paying to attend graduate schools. All I am giving you is stats man.
The source about unemployment is in Chinese if you do read them: www.ndrc.gov.cn/fggz/jyysr/jysrsbxf/202305/t20230530_1356762.html
China betrayed Mao and the Chinese people when Deng Xiaoping took power and began instituting revisionist reforms. Today, China is capitalist masking itself as on the road to socialism. I weep for the Chinese people, but I know that so long as class struggle continues, the Chinese masses will rise up and reclaim the victory of their revolution.
5:36 litteracy rate was around 7% not 70%, what are you talking about?
I’ve checked a few sources and the numbers look closer to 70% than 7%.
French working class literacy was around 70% - perhaps the larger french population (including the peasantry) was closer to 7% but i’m not sure.
Thanks for pointing out that potential edit tho. I could have been clearer.
From a monarchist, I would like to know why socialists think this way, so please explain to me.
No this is a socialist channel. If you want to learn more, check out my other videos.
There are a million arguments against monarchy.
Im more interested to know why you believe in a system that pre ordains your oppressors from birth
@@lcdream4213 I have a four word basis for monarchy, in summary.
God, Tradition, Family, Fidelity.
"Oppressors", who is going to tell him about the Khmer Rouge or constitutional monarchy?
@@haroldgōdwinessunu you literally could not have picked a worse example but nice try, the khmer rouge were aided by the cia and were never communist in their goals, good for you that you believe in god and all but your cultural conception of family and tradition is incredibly bourgeois
Socialism/communism failed in practice. It was all tried by humanity and didn’t end very well. I new type of theory should come out of the ashes of socialism. One that truly takes into account all the errors communism/socialism couldn’t take into account.
Totally agree. Except it’s socialism that needs to learn from its own history. Socialism or barbarism - there is no third way.
How do people make such comments when every attempt of socialism has been put to the sword by the west. Secondly the basis for the implementation of socialism can only be realised by world revolution. This a basic prerequesite. Socialsm doesn't fall from the sky
"The death agony of Capitalism" 1938
"All talk to the effect that historical conditions have not yet “ripened” for socialism is the product of ignorance or conscious deception. The objective prerequisites for the proletarian revolution have not only “ripened”; they have begun to get somewhat rotten. Without a socialist revolution, in the next historical period at that, a catastrophe threatens the whole culture of mankind. The turn is now to the proletariat, i.e., chiefly to its revolutionary vanguard. The historical crisis of mankind is reduced to the crisis of the revolutionary leadership."''It is precisely this lack of understand, that you yourself display"
And its getting worse and western populations in particular do not understand anything outside of the moment they occupying yet have an opinion on everything, and are always wrong.
The left are not free of blame. They have been incredibly stupid and inept. If you wan to enlist people to a cause you must be clear on what they need to fight against....and that is for the abolishment of private property, and what sort of world is possible, what they are fighting for.
Rousseau wrote about the evils of "capitalist property" over 200 years ago, and we still not have resolved this fundamental issue, because no one knows what it means any longer, that is an obscene tragedy.
"THE first man who, having enclosed a piece of ground, bethought himself of saying This is mine, and found people simple enough to believe him, was the real founder of civil society. From how many crimes, wars and murders, from how many horrors and misfortunes might not any one have saved mankind, by pulling up the stakes, or filling up the ditch, and crying to his fellows, "Beware of listening to this impostor; you are undone if you once forget that the fruits of the earth belong to us all, and the earth itself to nobody."
