The Red Flag - Billy Bragg

Hey! Good song isn't it? This is "The Red Flag" by Billy Bragg in his album "The Internationale".

[@modelemployee]

One of the best English-language songs of all time in my opinion. Gorgeous. Overflowing with truth, history and pride.

[@maxmaere2253]

Then who pays the workers? Socialism just trades one boss for another. Now you become the workers of a large government bureaucracy that sees you as just a number. You are a comrade because no one cares to learn your name. You are a cog in a machine and you can no longer protest or advocate for yourself. You are now meaningless. Stand in line and hope you get there before provisions run out. Pull your head out of the the fog of the fantasy and look at the history of socialism and communism and the price that people have paid. Socialism has failed everywhere it has gone. Without competition, with everyone expecting equal outcome no matter what measure of effort they put out, people will work at their minimum. Societies will fail. Look at Venezuela. Are you really willing to give up freedom for free things?

@@seankelly378 Which is absurd. The welfare systems we already have in the West cannot be sustained with the current rates of immigration. The population increases too rapidly for infrastructure, money, availability etc can keep up. Even if funding is increased and supply too, we'd struggle to keep up with demand indefinitely, and immigration likely lowers tax income per head. Also destroying the identity and values of a nation is never a good thing, despite so many trying to convince you that it is.

+pendulumx On the contrary, Corbyn's exactly what the party needed. Whatever he costs Labour in the center, he'll more than make up by re-energizing the left which hasn't even bothered to vote because Labour just became the party of Austerity-Lite. That's why Labour lost voters to the SNP. It's even why they lost voters to UKIP, who simply wanted to join ANY party that was willing to stand up to the entrenched elite. Rather than driving people from Labour, Corbyn's campaign saw new members flocking to the party in droves. Labour will win because unlike New Labour, it's finally returned to representing the people rather than hugging the coat tails of the Conservatives.

I don’t know if you’ll ever see this but I’m looking for a documentary or an article (really anything) on the conception of the cpusa and the roll folk and country music had. I saw a documentary about 2 years ago on blues music and jazz; i remember it having a segment about how the cpusa was a primary factor for country music being so popular. It’s of my own opinion since seeing this video that cpusa used folk/country music to lure in burgious and thus plays a role in establishing rock and roll/ honky tonk. Obviously all these music genres take from the Blues and its scale. My point is Jazz music while it was big, it had subconsciously always been over shadowed by decadence. We live in a time of great immaturity and I think the music everyone listens and goes out of their way to find has had great affect on that.
