Have you ever been so unfathomably based that you try and do socialism several hundred years early?

[@cameronmcallister7606]

The Diggers and Levellers out here just not consenting to being landless slaves. We live now in a society of their nightmares and using industrialisation the exact same thing is being done to us by the capitalists. Technology will not liberate us when it is held by the oppressor; they will simply drive us to extinction, and tell us how lucky we are.

"The King of Righteousness, our Maker, hath inlightened our hearts so far, as to see, That the earth was not made purposely for you, to be Lords of it, and we to be your Slaves, Servants, and Beggers; but it was made to be a common Livelihood to all, without respect of persons." - Gerrard Winstanley, leader of the diggers, in his pamphlet "A Declaration from the Poor Oppressed People of England"

You should try to cover "The Butcher's Sher" by Daniel Kahn. That'd be... interesting, to say the least, on piano!

I am a dwarf and I’m digging a hole, diggy diggy hole

[@something1600]

Aaaahhhh, The famous communist dwarfs of the English civil war/revolution (1642-1653).

[@DrAnarchy69]

I fucking love this song and you did a great job performing it!

[@evano4780]

This is the first leftist song I can remember listening to. Ah memories

[@joyful2124]

It's amazing how you can learn all these songs by ear! How long does it usually take you to learn a song to performance quality?

[@MonsieurJack95]

I usually feel comfortable with a song after a day or 2 but I'll usually mess around with one for a month before I record it -- if I record it. If lyrics are in a foreign language it'll usually take much much longer.

[@joyful2124]

@@MonsieurJack95 You’re awesome man! Keep it up!!!

[@c0nscript275]

Thank you so much Jack for giving some beauty and light in this chained world! Our unity and love will break their chains

[@an_unspoken_man]

I completely forgot about this song. Your performance ought to revive it!

[@potatoreborn7848]

When I fully grasped who the diggers were or the time they were around it was absolutely insane to learn about Even bigger twist the most fanatical of the diggers were the Puritans who came to America to make their ideal communal christan society But in a tragic twist the Puritans who came to America to make their ideal society became the thing they wished to undo in Britan

Based You did a great job. Have you thought of giving the chartists anthem a go?

[@sussyscylla3414]

this is a nice song and you do it very very well. thankyou

[@vicgamesvt9682]

If you could play the reggae song "socialism is love" by Max Romeo that would be cool. It highlights many of the reasons we are fighting for socialism.

[@gangautism]

You should do the East German Anthem next, love all your covers!

[@charlieread2097]

Genuinely awesome.

[@MCmao]

Very nice song, thanks for the cover

[@violetbasil]

i was struck by familiarity to the tune, and i finally placed it. the tune of this one is strikingly similar to renditions i've heard of "ye jacobites by name". given how often tunes are reused and iterated on for folk songs, i can't help but wonder if theres a link, either direct or through other songs?
