imagine not being able to recognize the internationale

I’ve not heard it, just looked it up, absolute banger.

English

Original French

Pete Seeger also did a bilingual version with the original, more literal, translation from the french. Bragg's translation is much less direct but sings better as a consequence.

And here's a Chinese version

The Internationale has been translated into well over a hundred languages and it's always recognizable.

Audio quality isn't that great, but I'm partial to this English version (also relatively faithful to the French lyrics)

I like the story Bragg tells about how his new version came to be here

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
