My dad used to sing this all the time at wrp meetings in the 80s. He was a communist from Iran. For me though the internationale isn't a communist song....its not concerned with such trivia as political ideology,far more beautiful and simpler than that!
Did you know... If you sing this song in the Philippines, your chances of being targeted by our repressive government increases to one hundred percent 😂?
For those that want the lyrics (mostly correct): Arise ye starvelings from your slumbers Arise ye criminals of want For reason in revolt now thunders And at last ends the age of cant.

Greetings from Russia. I hope we will build a better version of socialism in Europe (or anywhere) during 21st century. But it will be hard enough in postmodern society.

@@Ashley-1917Terry was a proud socialist from Liverpool. He was an MP for Liverpool broad green from 1983-1991, he was banned from office after going to jail for refusing to pay the poll tax He took the average workers wage of his industry (he was a fireman) as an MP and he is loved and respected by all in our city. Rest in Power Terry, and long live Militant and it’s successor the Socialist Party!
When I sing The International, I'm touched with tears, tears on two levels 1, The people who have stood together across the world against oppression Now and Before. 2, Many working class people across the world who do not know this song or understand it.
Militant could have gone a lot further than that! But they lost sight of the importance of Marxist theory, of understanding that you need ideas and understanding, not just blind activism. The shameful actions of the clique that formed around Peter Taaffe because of this have set the British working class back years if not decades.
@@fenceyhen4249 lol they were still advocating labour entryism until a couple of years ago. They've only just learned the lessons that Militant learned in '82
The results speak for themselves. Socialist Appeal is growing very rapidly - how has the open turn worked out for SPEW? They've fallen off. It's not even a matter of debate as as far as whether entryism vs the open turn worked better in 1991 - 2023, one approach has objectively succeeded and the other failed @@ginnybayliss8201
The truth they don't want you to know: liberals are not the left, and the left is still the working class.

HI comrades, can any of you tell me what year this was? I think it was when Terry had been re-elected in Broadgreen in the 1987 general election. Am I right?
Given all that's happened in the Labour party, it makes me sentimental watching this video. Thanks! May I ask what documentary this is? would you mind sending me some details, thanks!
Derek Hatton and his entourage ..used to intoned Militant times three to the tune of Here we go here we go here we go. Are Momentum any better at singing.?
I mean, Trotskyism as an ideology isn't that bad, but the way it rose, dividing the international socialist movement, is. Dammit, if only party democracy was restored in the Soviet Union, things would be so much better
Interesting that Trots actually knew the words (one verse anyway), even more interesting and ironic that they used the Communist Party's (the old CPGB) version of the song.
Just revisited the documentary this came from. Set in the time around the 1992 election as Militant was removed from Labour and effectively fought under its own steam. The politics on display here couldn't be further from my own but it was an interesting insight ( and part of social history now I suppose). It wasn't mentioned but this took place not long after the Berlin Wall came down and Eastern Europe was moving away from the very ideas espoused by Militant. This song might be seen as rousing to some, it is somewhat darker to me
I would say "Scratch a Liberal, and a fascist bleeds", but I'm not even sure if you are a liberal, rather just somebody who thinks offing people because of colour is based

Beautiful. Struggle songs are meant to be solos, sung by c-tier pop stars and folk artists. They're supposed to be sung en masse.
Agreed, though I'd love to have heard the Internationale led by Joan Baez.
brilliant. love ya liverpool
Beautiful!
Workers of the world Arise.
We will get there. The trouble with people know is they think because they own their own homes there middle class there nor.
Honestly I feel like militant could have defended the working class base of labour if they weren't destroyed.

When the Left was working class.
The truth they don't want you to know: liberals are not the left, and the left is still the working class. In Kerala, India there are Marxists in charge and the state has the highest HDI, the highest literacy rate, the highest life expectancy, and has the highest media exposure in all of India.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerala_Legislative_Assembly
It still is to a large extent. Just that some have been brainwashed by corporate media
And when the working class was left, instead of being taken in by the false conciousness of the constantly online world
the left still is working class what are you talking about
and before the working class bought into bourgeois culture war
Me and the bois when the gas/petrol prices rise by 1%
Scouse power !
Sing it in Saturday. The useless king.😊
"Arise ye starlings from your slumber" Thats really cool a pub full of scouse Trotskyists singing about wildlife. I never knew Starlings hibernated.

No it was the year he lost Broad Green. I was there.
@@tedphillips2121 it´s from a program on fields campaign in 92, when he lost in broadgreen
Funny watching this. So many of the early 80's young militant activists had left by then. They'd grown up
Nice one Matt K, I just want to ask would you have the original documentary?
I do have it on a disc, I will PM you with details.
Given all that's happened in the Labour party, it makes me sentimental watching this video. Thanks! May I ask what documentary this is? would you mind sending me some details, thanks!
Li - I have this documentary I can have a look over the weekend to see the best way to get it to you. I think you'll like it
Thanks so much Ciaran! I look forward to it.
Would be based if they weren't Trotskyite revisionaries.
would be based if you read marx ngl
Derek Hatton and his entourage ..used to intoned Militant times three to the tune of Here we go here we go here we go. Are Momentum any better at singing.?
Is that a song? Where can I find it? How does it go? Do you know the lyrics they sang it with?
Solidarity forever!!!
god bless the left
Not a fan of their politics. But this song, sung with such passion is just amazing. I wonder if they share my dislike of Starmer and his Politburo?
Militant Militant Militant Ere we go ere we go ere we go...and Dialectical Materialism with a Scouse accent. A wedge of red...

What word does Terry use instead of prisoners in the opening line?
Starvelings.

Yes. Real socialists

What’s the ironic part of communists singing a communist song?
this song belongs to the working-class. sit down and shut up
The song was never owned by the Stalinists.
What year is this?
1992
