"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
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!
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?

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!
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.
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.
@@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.

Very nice!
Sing, workers, for this is OUR song!
And this song will unify humanity in a common strangle to achieve the society of communism
