Who else here is in their second once in a lifetime recession?
third time's the charm for world revolution
just two?
That dog *will* hunt
My third before I’m 21. LETS GO BOYS!
Haahhhahahahhahahaah and then it gets worse. Every year et eternum people recomment this
This song got weirdly relevant lately
It always was, it was just brought to everyone who wasn't paying attention.
the jobless corps are marching once more...
@@AwesomeReshiram but maintaining social distancing
@@AwesomeReshiram The jobless corps are marching 1.5 meters apart
Down to even the spike in unemployment and people wearing plague masks in public... weird. Lol
P.S. I'm not commenting from a political perspective (I made the mistake of scrolling down in the comment section lol).
this band singlehandedly convinced me to actually sit down and learn Yiddish, if only to understand the lyrics and be able to sing along. It's quite rare to find such catchy and loveable songs nowadays that also carry such a strong political message. Love it.
Yiddish. I was listening to Israeli music and this autoplayed and i was confused.
now you speak german too
@@kanutahytomka4542Yeah lmao that's why I learn Yiddish, I was like oh, that's just German++
I speak Arabic and German, so I can even understand some of the semitic words, as Hebrew and Arabic share some root words, plus I understand almost all the Germanic words, but I want to sit down someday and learn Yiddish for real; it's one of my favourite languages; it sounds like melodic German
Yiddish music is so beautiful; something about reaches very deep into me like no other music
As a native German speaker, It's amazing how I can basically understand everything. The transliteration to the Latin alphabet looks a bit wonky at times, but it's pretty easy to get the gist of things.
This actually aged well tbh. How prophetic for UA-cam to recommend this to me.
And to think that this was inspired by a song with identical Yiddish lyrics from 1938.
@@samsadowitz1724 Thanks, now I gotta find that. This song holds up so well, I've had "arbetsloze zenen mir" in my head for days
@@JosephWall117 the song is called "Arbetlosenmarsch"
Yiddish is related to German but it's a separate language. Saying Yiddish is German is a bit like saying Catalonian is Spanish, Kurdish is Persian or Swedish is Danish. There is a large number of similarities and some mutual understanding but it's still two different things.
I see your point but to be fair Yiddish is almost mutually intelligible with German, I don’t speak Yiddish but I (german speaker) get what they are saying just fine, it’s another language, yes, but it’s pretty understandable to mix the two if you don’t speak or know either
@@salsicha5305 it s like the romantic languages, pretty understandable, but not the same
Rares-Alexandru Ionascu I mean, not really, especially if you’re talking Plattdeutsch, the ease a German speaker has with Yiddish is way bigger than a portuguese speaker with Spanish, and they don’t sound as similar as Plattdeutsch and Yiddish
I *was* wondering why my German was failing me there for a moment until I realised what was going on haha
I agree, although Yiddish and German are closer than Persian and Kurdish and the other examples you named.
Yiddish is basically just medieval German, listen to medieval(Mittelhochdeutsch) poems and compare them to yiddish, THAT is the same thing. This is because the jewish diaspora from Germany started in medieval times, the jews preserved medieval German.
"Idle as a CEO"
Savage!
I like how they take the "means of production" at the end.
Good catch
I love how popular this is! Seeing modern day internet comments on Yiddish stuff is very heartening.
Klezmer never dies!
Never
Here in the middle of a pandemic, unemployment reached 10mil in 2 weeks. Reviving this in March 2020
This song (only Yiddish version) came up on my workers song playlist on spotify. And firstly I wasn't 100 % convinced. Then I listend to it another time. And the more often I listened to it the more I loved it. And I am a German native, and I made it a challenge for me to try to understand everything that the song says. And it forced me to just stop whatever I was doing and focus 100 % on the song and that was actually a very interesting experience. And now I see this version on UA-cam. And the video is fecking great!
can we get some titles from your spotify playlist ? :D
Arbietlose senen Mir
I felt excatly the same
I only know this is the version of Zupgeigenhansel with another collection of Jiddische Lieder and seeing this I prefer the Zupgeigenhansel edition, this lacks a bit of personalisation and authenticity..
Workers, peasants, kibbutzniks, first to come to work, first to fight, first to die, last to leave
Well, this is gonna be in my head for the next few weeks...
fucking syndicalist...
@@user-xb7zb9qz5c what?
i can never escape it can i
His smile is so warm
@Egoism-Anarchism-Communism-Sydicalism I want to know more about your Ideology, it sounds interesting
@@lynnixvarjo9150 tbh ansyn and ancom are fairly mainstream libcom ideologies, and i guess if you want a /trip/, read stirner to find out abt egoism? idk if i could ever manage it tbh
(edited for typo)
@@rockpooladmirer I meant the Combination of Egoism and Communsim sounds ... Interesting
Communism is the natural consequence of authentic egoism, if everyone think for themselves and act out their true desires they would soon realize that the best course of action is to unite, take over the means of production, and live together in equality and freedom
When the video ends with seizing the means of production *chef kiss*
you can also interpret this as the people taking the revolution and owning it instead of those who are on a pedestal ("professional revolutionaries", or "the party" or whatever other allegory you can find)
For a land, a world of justice, where no boss or cop can bust us!
There's something revolutionary about Daniel's appearance, not only in this video :)
In fairness, you can substitute a beard for a good moustache:

in my opinion he looks like the great anarchist revolutionary hristo botev
3 million laid off due to Coronavirus...
more than enough for the vanguard...
that was in one week, this week it was 6 million
16 mil in previous month already only in US
@@user-fy3oy8lj4j over 30 million now
Nice to see a fellow RISKtoid here
The song of year 2020.
I listen to this so much that I can even sing a few lines of the Yiddish.
there should be a "love" button
We feel the love ..that's enough brother :) Although a love button would be good!
Transcendent. Bittersweet, stinging, and Defiantly Joyful. I cry everytime I hear Yiddish, the mameloshen, the mother tongue of my ancestors.
Would it please the wastelands to know that love? Many places, Yiddish is ridiculed. "Gee, you sure talk German funny." Sadly, when Chava Alberstein recently performed in Israel, as was reported in the Forward, singing in Yiddish, she was laughed off the stage. Es pas nisht! (This will not do. It is improper).
For Tikkun ha-Olam, Zay a Mensch! Love.
FIND THE CRACKS AND BASK IN THE LIGHT THAT SHINES THROUGH
A Jewish anti-capitalist song. Now that is what I enjoy.
Oh boy, this is just the tip of the ice berg. There's plenty of Yiddish socialist, anarchist, and social democrat music from the bundist movement
@@gnosis2871 what should I look for?
@bob john thanks so much for this, my grandmother would be proud to see me listening to ... would this be considered klezmer music? anyway, I recoiled from all things jewish as a young kid, and now that my grandma is gone, i am sort of unearthing my jewishness, and its fun and interesting and educational for sure.
Begone fascist. Follow your leader. Unless you need help.
@@FrozenRat161 Learn to be humble, lazy fool.
Great remake of this traditional old song that remains up-tp-date!
Me to my friends: okay okay, tonight I won't get all political I promise.
Also me at the Karaoke bar:
Me too
Real
I’m so jealous of their beards
D Man well you see my genes haven’t been so kind to allow that to happen to any great extent
O boy, a Yiddish socialist song that sounds Slavic, the Nazis must be having aneurisms seeing this
/pol/ implodes everytime that "jewish", "socialist" and "anti-zionist" are included in the same sentence, so, yeah, definitely.
I quite like it tbh
Good, saves me ammunition.
@@r.coburn3344 ok
As slavic guy my self an customer of mine who is educated in linguistic did me explain,that most Jiddishes has dip of slavic language.
Ok that clarinet line is legit fire
i like how the capitalist are still trying to work the crowd at the ending and the crowd is having none off it
Workers unite and organize! Do not let your rights and wages be trembled over! Unionise!
This song is amazing, greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽
Psoy looking mighty fine with dat epic beard
Mordechai Gebirtig's poetry remains beautiful and still as powerful even in the adapted translated bits, while showing the translator's own. The song is amazing.
I will be listening to this for hours.
Rights are rights. What matter what language they’re expressed in?
Happy May Day, y’all
Love it! It's like the klezmer theme to the occupy movement!!
Crowned heads will tremble when the black and red unite.
Otto von Bismark.
But some parts of the reds will never be able to join the blacks. And i am not Even a anarchist myself, but still this is obvious.
Anarcho-Stalinism wen?
The Grass Masks lmao
Bismarck was referring to the Catholic blacks, i.e. the centrists, not the anarchists. As an anarcho-capitalist can never join a fascist (because the fascist will resist the anarcho-capitalist's philosophy of self-interest which contradict with the his statist ideals and the anarcho-capitalist shall resist the fascist's restrictions on immigration which contradict his philosophy of the pursuit of wealth through open borders and a meritocratic society), an anarcho-communist can never join a Marxist-Leninist, lest the Marxist-LEninist see his police officers hit with molotovs and the anarcho-communist's local organisations destroyed by the vanguard party.
Lucky enough to see Mr. Kahn in performance (with The Painted Bird) many years in Princeton, something I'll never forget. Went to Berlin in April hoping to see him, but he was not performing. Wish I could see him again....not giving up hope! In the meantime I'll play his CDs.

Get back to abusing workers in the gulags, commie!
@@zacharyreist6605 bruh imagine conflating the USSR with communism or ancoms
@@zacharyreist6605 The gulags weren't just "prisons", not at all
Donning a beard a without license should be illegal. Only cool mo'fos like like this should be offered a license, and than decline it, on account of being counter- establishment.
This made me laugh more than it should've
This will play at my funeral
Love this!
Oh man, the sequel coming out later this year is gonna slap
Best video I've seen and heard so far this year!
lf ever become famous politican, will invite those guys to play for the events organized by the idea, l'm in.

Mr. Kahn keep it up, I love your works thus forth.

Great performance of an epic song!
I love this song :)

Loved seeing you guys play last night at the City Winery Chicago Downtown Seder.
Wunderschön !
Love it!!!
You guys are just so good!!! Saw you once live in the synagogue of Heidelberg. :)
Cool! The lights ominous surrealistic, the cast and the masks all give a eerie otherworldly touch without compromising its "folkstuemliche" essence, splendid song, performance and video editing...
Great video! It was fun to be there at the Berlin old factory.
Nice color tone too :)
Great song. Tnx daniel
classy and good, I love it
hells yea. love this dan :)
Love this
Just love it!
Greatest song ever 😎
great video, great band hope to see more from you guys. and great song too. i personally think gebirtig is one the great composers of 20th century even if He doesn't have mass appeal. i would never have heard of him but for youtube.
Greetings from Brazil!
Simple love that beginning...
Almost forgot my daily viewing

love to all the jewish brothers and sisters struggling against capitalism
@Sir Oswald Mosley those are dirty Zionist that work with the pigs in power they all get the bullet
@Sir Oswald Mosley And?
@Sir Oswald Mosley same goes for Caucasians. There has been a large number of Jews in the socialist movement, even marx was a jew so what is your point? Your probably just an antisemit.
@@georgwilhelmfriedrichhegel9602 get rid of hegel in ur pfp
@Oskar Memewranger Off yourself.
Как же приятно тут видеть Псоя Короленко. Обожаю их всех
I enjoyed it verly much.
I just saw this band play this song at CSUN today!
Excelent!!!!!!!
Amazing
What a pleasure
Excellent Shot !!!
Muy Bien. Magniv. Shoene.
As a working-class Brummie I love this !!!!
"Quarantine Waltz" seems like a solid premise for a song, ijs
Woosh
We’ll be ringing in the New Year with this song.
Eternally relevant song played brilliantly
damn ok this is just hell of good basically
Update: Things have gotten worse, now the railroad industry faces huge worker loss over worker benefits since railroad employees are forbidden from striking. Chaos is soon at hand.
Great! I hope to see Dan and TPB in Poland again
essa é nossa cultura
WOW! zey zenen gut!!!! un ikh ken yiddish red a bisl un nisht a sakh!!!
anticapital666 איך בין ארטאדאקס
I'm glad the guy at the end was allowed to keep his cello
Finally, a video with views but no Anti-Semitic comments!
In the state's there's this newish TV channel on Cable called Link TV. They have a music show and this would be perfect for it. Plus, the breaks in Democracy Now have musical numbers and they're looking for music that goes with story themes. It would be perfect to see this next to the stuff on Wisconsin.
Pretty good
Fun times as a dutchman. Hear the song go yiddish which soundshalf wierd dutch and half incomprehensible sounds.
I really love this!!!
As a german, that yiddish sounds like some 19th century german. You understand most of it, but it's really weird :)
as an austrian, it's basically viennese with a couple funny words
@@MCArt25 Jetzt erst gesehen, bei 3:19 steht sogar Hartz IV auf dem Plakat :D
How is this not more popular 😭
Definitely listen to it twice never fought I discovered a kNew band today
노래 개좋아
A Jewish socialist song; basically the alt right's worse nightmare

I reckon I could come up with a decent anti alt right set of lyrics, but I feel sorry getting real on a bunch of children
pastrychef1985 I'm morbidly curious... Lay it on me.
I don't know enough about anime or fast food in the US to make anything. I've failed in my mission. Point still stands, they're still a bunch of easily "triggered" manbabies.
They are always brag about fighting"Jewish Bolshevism" but they would probably piss their pants if they actually met a Jewish Bolshevik
Geniously!
See the mistake you made here was having Psoy Korolenko trying to fix your car.
Lol
this says alot about our Society
