Rouge du sang de l'ouvrier! 🎵

I just remembered the Indonesian version, the title is "Darah Ra'jat" lit. means People's Blood

People, don't be afraid of our flag,
Red, of liberty from capitalist plague,
People, we must now unite,
Against a capitalist, who closes our light!

@Logata Nah, anticommunism always fails and the reactionaries who propagandise it as well.

[@goldmunds]

Of with communism
We don't want our people dead and starving
We just need freedom and food
Together we go and shall continue Capitalism, the way to liv e

English lyrics of "The Standard of Revolt", translated by M.L. Korr:
The cruel tyrants of the nation
Have always shed the workers' blood
The people's wrath and indignation
Arises in a mighty flood,
Arises in a mighty flood.
Far and wide spreads the tide of our wrath
We hoist the flag of revolution
It proclaims workers' aims, rebels' path
Tyrants' defeat, retribution
We raise our standard, freedom's banner
Its color is the deepest red
For it the workers' blood was shed
The en'my's brutal rage and fury
Our day of reckoning won't stay
The people will be judge and jury
To try the tyrants of today,
To try the tyrants of today.
Far and wide spreads the tide...
March onward, comrades, into battle
The dawn of liberty is near
No more shall we, like voiceless cattle
Be driven by the goad of fear,
Be driven by the goad of fear.
Far and wide spreads the tide...
Let now the tyrants fret and shudder
The hour approaches of their fall;
The working class will turn the rudder,
Give life and freedom to us all,
Give life and freedom to us all.
Far and wide spreads the tide...

Sadly no recordings of the English version exist online, someone should record it.

Yes, finally a Latvian one! It is acusually sad, seeing Latvia turning extremely nationalistic, because of some neighbor who is a warmonger. For the death of fascism and capitalism and no borders!

@Mežabrālis Neesmu liberālis, ne krievs, tikai uzvārds saglabājies no iepriekšējām paaudzēm, drīz mainīšu, arī neesmu par Padomju varu arī ne par nacionālismu. Bet hej mežabrāļi ir forši, ja sāktos karš, nekādā gadījumā neietu armijā, bet būtu mežabrālis

@Latvian Nationalist Ir jāskatās, kāds nacionālisms, pirmkārt, ir kreisais nacionālisms, kā Kanādā un ir tāds, kā Ungārijā, Polijā vai Itālijā. Labējā nacionālismā ir tāda problēma, kā naids un iznīcība, kas tiek atbalstīts ar idejām, kā kultūra un robežas, bet viss šis pastāv mūsu galvā, kultūra ir vienkārši likumi, kuri ir iesakņojušies no pagājušajām paaudzēm, un robežas ir tikai līnijas kartē, tādas nepastāv dabā. Tu vari lepoties ar savu valsti, bet es ceru, ka tas nav naida pilns, jo kaut ko izveidot ir grūtāk, nekā kaut ko iznīcināt. Un tagad man ir jautājums, ar ko Tu tieši lepojies, ka esi latvietis, var valodu, ar to ka esi dzimis šeit? Arī par varoņiem vari lepoties, tikai, manuprāt, mūsu Latvijas varoņi nesakritīs. Man, piemēram, ir Rainis un Aspazija un katrs sarkanais strelnieks, kas cīnijās par brīvu un godīgu psauli

@UCLZ-93eyIlILJblBEjbcJ0Q Un galīgi aizmirsu pateikt, agrāk pats biju nacionālists, godīgi sakot fašists, tiešām (pirms 2 gadiem), esmu apceļojis visu politisko kompasu, bijis AnCaps un tankijs, tagad anarhists. Es tevi saprotu
