"The softest paw can be a claw" is one hell of a bar.
Okay, as a socialist and an animal lover, this song makes me so happy! March on, Comrade Kitten!
Need more IWW songs to be highlighted by the left. It's good to know the American left at one point existed and stood for values that now sadly are forgotten but are slowly being brought back.
Yeah, man; But they're not dead, just buried by democrat's rhetoric and years of democrats+republicans trying to bury the true left to prevent us arising up.
Nice mongol shuudan pfp comrade
I'm so happy to see the left regaining it's united strength among the west
Oh I like that! Taking something terrible and making it a song about a socialist kitty is glorious
@@fitzthedragon The original song is Dixie, the (de facto) anthem of the Confederate States of America.
A Wobbly kitten
@@chereamii what's the name of original
@@fitzthedragon what? No. The original is a song of the Confederacy from the US civil war.
@@fitzthedragon The Union Dixie was the most succesful go at subverting an anthem. I think op is referring to the original Confederate Dixie instead of Union Dixie.

Blasting this song on full volume now that the Tesla strikes are in full gear in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland.
BE A SABO-TABBY!
The IWW symbol was a black cat because they made bosses suffer "bad luck" of having their machines mysteriously break down.
I like that story, but what I read up is that early in one of their first big protests an emaciated black cat wandered into their camp and a bunch of people started taking care of it until it got healthier. After which they demanded it become a mascot since everyone got so attached to the little thing.
There's another song similar to this one but it was written by Joe Hill instead of Ralph Chaplin, called "Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-day" or sometimes known as "Boom Went the Boom" about a how poor work conditions can result in workers having "accidents" that break machinery
Joe Glazer has a version, although I don't like it very much. Lucas Stark has a really good one tho (you should check out Lucas Stark anyways, he has a good album full of wobbly themes i believe)
@@SilverLillyMedia I always thought Boom Went the Boom was about the 1929 stock market crash, and about how it's foolish to think that it won't keep happening again and again under capitalism
@@4sythdude549 nope! Its about Sabotage! At least that was the original intent of the Joe Hill song
You rotten rats, go hide your faces;
I’m right here, so find your places.
Hurry now! Wonder how? Meow, sabotage!
The tiger wild in its jungle sitting,
Never fights like this here kitten.
Hurry now! Wonder how? Meow, sabotage!
Oh the rats all hate and fear me, meow, meow!
The softest paw can be a claw;
They seldom venture near me.
Hurrah, they saw, your Sabo-Tabby Kitten;
Hurrah, they saw, your Sabo-Tabby Kitten!
The boss has cream for his lordly dinner;
Feed him milk and make him thinner.
Hurry now! Wonder how? Meow, sabotage!
If you are down and the boss is gloating,
Trust in me instead of voting.
Hurry now! Wonder how? Meow, sabotage!
Oh the rats all hate and fear me, meow, meow!
The softest paw can be a claw;
They seldom venture near me.
Hurrah, they saw, your Sabo-Tabby Kitten;
Hurrah, they saw, your Sabo-Tabby Kitten!
On every wheel that turns I’m riding;
No one knows, though, where I’m hiding.
Hurry now! Wonder how? Meow, sabotage!
The fight is tough and you can’t see through it?
Shut your traps, and a cat will do it!
Hurry now! Wonder how? Meow, sabotage!
Oh the rats all hate and fear me, meow, meow!
The softest paw can be a claw;
They seldom venture near me.
Hurrah, they saw, your Sabo-Tabby Kitten;
Hurrah, they saw, your Sabo-Tabby Kitten!
Lawyers have no bunk to fill me;
Cops and soldiers cannot kill me.
Hurry now! Wonder how? Meow, sabotage!
Step on things that the boneheads bow to;
Come with me, and I’ll show you how to.
Hurry now! Wonder how? Meow, sabotage!
Oh the rats all hate and fear me, meow, meow!
The softest paw can be a claw;
They seldom venture near me.
Hurrah, they saw, your Sabo-Tabby Kitten;
Hurrah, they saw, your Sabo-Tabby Kitten!
This world should have but free folk in it;
Let me show you how to win it.
Hurry now! Wonder how? Meow, sabotage!
Perch will I on the system’s coffin,
On the hearse they take it off in.
Hurry now! Wonder how? Meow, sabotage!
Oh the rats all hate and fear me, meow, meow!

They seldom venture near me.

Miau >o
As a kitten fan,i like this song :)
As a syndicalist this is fucking based
For real, man! Glory to the Sabo-Tabby!
Whats syndicalism? i only know about it bc i played kaiserriech on hoi4
@@germancaptain300it can refer to the ideology that the socialist revolution and then later socialism itself should use the unions as the main instrument of organising. This is if I understand correctly different than using workers' councils, or perhaps just putting more emphasis on the unions inside those councils. It is certainly different than the Stalinist perversion of socialism in which a bureaucratic party dictatorship runs the state.
In Dutch though, an active union member may also refer to themselves as syndicalist, I don't know in what measure this can be the case in English or if the above writer had this in mind
@@nilsvn2052In the US, you are a union man or woman.
@@nilsvn2052 Most modern understandings of syndicalism are also anarchist. So if you want to make it really simple syndicalism is where there is no authority but unions. The syndicalist will say that this is real democracy because when there is no system of different classes everyone will be a unionized worker and therefore directly involved in democracy. This is a very dumbed down version of the idea, and of course most syndicalist don't see it this onedimensionally. (De Leonism would be an example of a non anarchist version)
I love this ❤🐈
Now I know why the syndicalists are called the CSA in Kaiserreich now.
A most magnificent song to post.
Only Dixie I'll green light.
What about Union Dixie?
@@woodencheck6181 Oh that too, of course. How can you not?
But like the original dixie in terms of the melody was definitely the best
@@Ineverlost_controldon't they all have the same melody though? Isn't that the point?
@@woodencheck6181man I hate America with every fiber of my being but that shit slaps
It has Union Dixie vibes
I mean, it *is* Union Dixie lol

I thought the Union version of Dixie was good, but the LABOR Union version is even better.

Now I know where the term "wildcat strike" comes from!
Oh nice, haven’t heard this version. This Wobbly loves this song!
I'd be surprised if you had, considering this is the original source!

@@GETchan oh wow, nice! It's incredibly well done!
WE MAKIN IT OUTTA WAGE SLAVERY WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥
I love it how the IWW have taken the confederate tune for their song. Sth like: "you say it's a confederate melody and we can't use it? Go screw yourselves rightists, it's a nice tune and we'll use it whether you like it or not!" Unironically well done, comrades❤🖤✊
If they give you bad pay, give them bad work.
Love this song
You've been cat! Send this to your boss to totally cat them!
is this the only GETchan video with song lyrics in thumbnail? (even though they're faded)

In the orginal version i heard they would sometimes say "the rats all hate and fear me" and other times say "the reacts all hate and fear me"
So cute, w have kitties and some are tabbys. Our kitties are indoors only.
LONG LIVE THE AMERICAN SECOND REVOLUTION, LONG LIVE THE COMBINED SYNDICATES ! ✊🐈🏴🚩
I love this song, I can't stop listening to it. Exceptional work.

I'm glad someone could repurpose the beautiful tune of Union Dixie for something actually good
(not including the Union army version, you know what I mean)

It's glorious.
Tabby Kitten? T-TNO reference??????
Taboritsky fursona is now canon

Happy International Labour day. 🎉🎉❤
Fantastic performance. I absolutely adore the Sabocat concept and iconography and am always on the lookout for more leftist music, so this is especially neat.
Solidarity, comrade.
If you're looking for more socialist music then you could take a look at "If you ain't been called a red".
Is this anarchist music?
It's syndicalist music. The IWW is a big-tent socialist organization. It's always included anarchists, but it's not itself exclusively anarchist. The major ideological point uniting them is syndicalism, beyond that members can and have been anarchists, Marxists, or whatever else.
@@MandalorTeSiitwe’re not Syndicalist. You were right in describing us as big tent but we have never subscribed to syndicalism
Well, it depends on what you are calling syndicalism.
I'm french, for us "syndicalisme" is a synonym of industrial unionism, with the double task, to get better material existence conditions and to expropriate the capitalists, but in english, doesn't it just mean the same ?
If it is right, the IWW constitution goes to this direction.

When your cats rebel and form an anarchist state.. "Bow down before our claw class missiles and serve us fish and milk human slave."
That doesn't sound very anarchist or them though.
A communist version of Dixieland.
Yeah I think I've finally gone insane.

TNO TABORITSKY REFERENCE 😱🙀🤯🤯
i may not be a big fan of communism or anarchism but they have slapping songs and cool meanings
syndicalism isn't anarchism or communism, but it can lead to those.
It's only the organization of workers in multiple industries inside one big union(a confederation of toilers)
We mainly reuse religious or military song and put in it the truthness of a collective soul which actually has a meaning to our human condition, that's the trick.
And that, friend, is sabotage for you. 👟
We’re neither Communist nor Anarchist (even though many of us are). Join the IWW regardless of your politics as long as you are a worker we’d love to have you!
Interestingly enough groups like IWW or DSA are very open to basically all ideologies
@@seanhartnett79 bazllionaires when the workers unite and fight against their tyrants (they tried to make them against eachother by dividing them in meaningless discourse)
furry marching song!!
tho tradeunionism can actually be vary harmful to revolutionary movement and it perpetuates a sense of complacency among the ranks of the proletarian. they do make some banger songs.
Lenin never understood SYNDICALISM(revolutionary syndicalism is part of "trade unionism", which also includes corporatism and craft unionism), he refered to Connolly all the day while never understanding two words : industrial unionism.
And since, leninists are always saying bullshit about "trade unionism"
@@anaskournif9290 Lenin lived when syndicalism was at its peak. Unions could not lead the revolution alone. Thus syndicalism only exists in a mod for a map game now.
@@anaskournif9290"Industrial unionism" is still trade unionism, and a movement that only prioritizes the well-being of its people at the expense of everyone else (in other words, removed from class struggle against the logic of capital) is not as "revolutionary" as you think it is.
@@aleks484 yeah, and 20 years after the bolchevik revolution, you had the catalonian one.
I was a syndicalist way before discovering Kaiserreich.
But you are right on one thing : syndicalism is not revolutionary alone, it is the matrix for other ideologies, including Connollyism (and after that leninism), fascism(Mussolini was a big fan of Sorel but with a corporatist point of view), antifascism(the first antifascists in Italy were also syndicalists because syndicalism is a very efficient way of organizaing workers) and anarcho-syndicalism.
@@marchdarkenotp3346 read the charter of Amiens, you will understand that syndicalism always fought for all the workers.
The "double besogne" is to get better material existence conditions AND to expropriate the capitalists.
So yeah, Lenin doesn't understand a few things and it's not his fault, he was always in countries where syndicalism was almost unexisting, the germanic countries, England and Switzerland.
HALLL NAW ITS THE FURRY ANTHEM (also it sounds a lot like Dixie)
Read the describtion under the video and you shall be surprised
Jokes on you i cant read
@@smashyconduile2273 I can tell
Just when I thought my opinion of syndicalism couldn't go any lower...
Awww... the bootlicking rat got scared?
@@camaradulrosu3723 yup
I disapprove of the choice of melody, which may appear catchy but stems from blackface minstrelsy and glorification of slavery. «Dixie» is white-supremacist to the core, and I recommend that it never again be used as the basis for any progressive political song. That said, I am pleased to see that the GETchan People's Choir and Orchestra continues to produce recordings for the public.
i disapprove your comment...
it's called reclaiming
Why not turn something made by evil to something for solidarity?
@@rust9542 Maybe then you should reclaim the «Horst-Wessel-Lied» or some Zionist anthem. Go right ahead, but I want nothing to do with such hopelessly tainted reactionary music.
Reclamation is awesome. Us Wobs have been doing it to song Melodie’s for over a century
this song would be cooler if it was just from a cat's perspective without the commie gobbledygook tbh
I don‘t know what the worst piece of leftist music is, but I can see it has stiff competition.

Don't Insult Dixie like that!
I would recommand you to not insult the beautiful colors that are red and black by wearing it as a pp.
In fact, I would kindly invites you to not wear any colors, in any understandable way of the word, as none are deserving to be associated with you and your rotten ideology.
However, don't you worry my friend, as at the end, something that fascists can't understand, nothing is left but skeleton, white skeletons in fact.
Even if, we all have to agree that the temptation to paints the bone of your kin a flashy Pantone 448 C one day is highly envisaged.
