My god. The energy in this one is through the roof. This is quickly becoming one of my favourite songs through this, the sheer determination and resilience of the song truly represents the struggle of the Chilean people, A determination that needs to be replicated here in the UK, where the government is using foreign spying as an excuse to go after and send the secret police against anyone Asian, and where our immigration concentration camps are being ran by private companies abusing their detainees and using them as slaves. Long live Chile, Long live the people, long live the workers!

Chilean leftist music never ceases to amaze me

[@Evan-ix5pv]

Excellent work, as always! I want to thank you for dedicating so much of your time and talent to entertaining us and preserving these pieces of our shared international worker’s culture. Your channel inspired me to start learning to play. Cheers and solidarity

[@ElTovarish]

Another Chilean song! Venceremos!

[@josafatarrieta1052]

Excellent work Jack!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. I love your videos. You should do a cover of "Trabajadores al Poder" the hymn of the chilean Movimiento de Izquierda Revolucionaria (Revolutionary Left Movement)

[@edvinvestergren1319]

I always love your covers, they're incredible, some are even better than the "orgiginals" tbh. I know quite many say socialism doesn't work, but I think we all can agree that it works in music, almost every socialist song is incredible. If you'd take any suggestions, I'd suggest "Arbetets söner", a swedish social democratic song from about the time when we got our first democratic socialist government led by Hjalmar Branting (maybe a little nerdy but he got the nobel peace prize for avoiding revolution while democratically and peacefully shrinking the power of the king)

"Workers of my country, I have faith in Chile and its destiny. Other men will overcome this dark and bitter moment when treason seeks to prevail. Keep in mind that, much sooner than later, the great avenues will again be opened through which will pass free men to construct a better society. Long live Chile! Long live the people! Long live the workers!" President Salvador Allende's farewell speech, September 11, 1973.

[@ThatCamel104]

This song always makes me cry and that's why it's the best

[@valeball6690]

¡Viva Allende! ¡Viva Boric!

Love the music! Do you ever take requests? I love Last Train to Nuremburg. I grew up listening to my Elementary School Music teacher playing Pete Seeger, brings back so many memories - Also, what's the history of this song, if you know it? Im having a hard time finding information online, thanks!

[@olivierkigotho7639]

As far as I know (and I am no expert on the history and context) the song is by Inti-illimani in 1970 right when Salvador Allende was elected. Poder popular (people/popular power) is the idea that the working class can have autonomous power outside the influence of the state or capital. In Chile, poder popular took the form of workers taking over their workplace and forming organizations of worker democracy. Cordones industriales were the largest of these, and were set up to pressure the Unidad Popular government into expediting their socialist reforms. The largest growth of poder popular was to combat the employers organizations which, with the aid of the US government, were trying to sabotage Unidad Popular and the democratic road to socialism. I just started to read "Weavers of Revolution" by Peter Winn, which is about what might be the first cordón industrial. I'll probably know a lot more when I finish it than I do now. It seems like the most radical aspects of the chilean revolution was occurring through poder popular, and not the government.

[@Chumpatrol1]

He actually recently made a cover of that song, so check it out if you haven't!

[@valentinpenadonaire3226]

Wow, I can really feel the story of my people speaking through your music, the style and the feelings you put into your interpretation truly transport my heart to the Chile of la Unidad Popular, and inevitably to the tragic times of Pinochet. I’d say this work of yours has a quite enormous potential for helping us Chileans think of peace, unity, and fraternity, especially now in times of writing a new proposal for our Constitution, when the political polarization is at its highest since 1973; and when the new President is working towards implementing a novel, more participative, fair and pragmatic style into Chilean (even South American?) politics.

[@sugatabhattacharya8787]

Long live Allande, Long live Socialism, Long live Chile From India, a country on the brink of fascism.

[@joeyj6808]

Beautifully done, as usual! I had never heard this one before, it's a great song. Viva Chile Libre!

[@birdinmotion1525]

The popular wobbly!!!

[@freeksam4412]

Love your playing! You ever consider playing some filk (yes, filk is how it's spelt) music? An example that comes to mind is Minus Ten and Counting 16 - Everyman, a song about all the unrecognized workers who advanced the space program. I recommend you listen to it.

[@ЛПФ2аСычвСтепанСергеевич]

Песня, которая заставляет плакать. Да здравствует Чили!!!

[@Nikol-Aos]

Italy: l'avvenire sorge anche sul Cile🇨🇱👍

[@alexmiller3349]

I love the emotion that you can hear in every single word, not every song has that That's one of the reasons why i like your covers(?) so much!

[@stevesmith127]

Love your channel! I’m not sure if you do requests but might you ever cover “Fight For Uncle Abe?” You’ve done great covers of other civil war songs and I can’t find any covers on KZbin.

[@xyldkefyi]

The Chilean struggle for freedom has a profound effect on me, causing both sadness at what could have been and hope at what's to come. El neoliberalismo nace y muere en Chile!

[@miumjou]

Can you please give us the link to the notes? This version is AMAZING ❤

[@john-xm4ul]

You should do a victor jara song

[@Zogerpogger]

Just want to say I love your videos! I was wondering if you might be interested in performing "Dying of Hunger, Dying of Cold" by Gracchus Babeuf?

Amazing! Thank you so much for making this! 🌹

[@erindonnelly8283]

Have you ever considered covering "Lenin is young again/the battle is going again"?

[@ramonhurtadoduarte]

Muchas gracias por esta bella interpretación! (Ojalá pudieras a futura interpretar el Venceremos de Sergio Ortega y Quilapayún).

[@molotovck]

Desde Brasil, te amo camarada

[@Atlasstrain]

Please do Auferstanden aus Ruinen! As a German-speaker, i'd love to hear your voice and play on that one! And, it's a surprisingy non-partisan song of Unity

[@limeboiler]

Another banger, love it Jack. Sorry, I don't always have a lot to say.

[@ferno5019]

Another banger! I'd love to see a redo of le chant du départ with lyrics

[@thejaykay97]

May I suggest Spaniens Himmel/die Thälmann Kolonne?

[@johannesdecorte434]

Sing us a song for the people of Ukraine please.

[@New_Wave1905]

Agree, the imperialist war of Russian Federation should be condemned by the leftist community, we shall as well support Ukrainan refugees and people

[@Kyrylo_Makarov]

This song is so lovely that I almost fell out from helicopter while listening!

[@chokocrispi]

Creo que es un chiste que diga "echaremos fuera el yanqui", con todo respeto...

[@deraka5588]

Era el pensamiento de la época, ya que los gringos tenían la mala costumbre de imponerse en los paises mas pequeños.
