Cool songs with a political agenda

[MaggotMaster]

This thread is dedicated to songs trying to push some kind of SERIOUS political agenda through music (that means no faggot pseudo-anarchist pop-punk for god's sakes), whether it be nationalist songs, propaganda, military marches with lyrics, or others, the deal is that they need to be good music even if you completely ignore the message behind them

Here's some youtube links to anthems of former socialist countries that manage to be good even if you completely ignore their meaning:

National Anthem of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics - This is pretty much obligatory, since its probably the most stirring national anthem I've ever heard, BLESS ALEXANDER ALEXANDROV
The March of the Volunteers, National Anthem of the People's Republic of China - I admit that one of the main reasons I like this is because of the message behind, but its still kinda nice and I'm a sucker for military marches anyway
Auferstanden aus Ruinen, National Anthem of the German Democratic Republic - Definitely the second best anthem in the Warsaw Pact after the USSR's

These are the anthems of some of the constituent republics of the Soviet Union

Anthem of the Armenian Socialist Republic - Armenia should have kept this because it's badass
Anthem of the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic - Belarus kept this at their anthem but changed the lyrics, that's cool since this anthem is really good, albeit it's not as militant as the other Soviet anthems


I'll post more stuff later if this thread picks up, also, the Star Spangled Banner sucks

By the way, Das Lied der Deutschen by Haydn is really good and I completely forgot to put it in the OP, so here's a link:

It's unfortunate that the Nazis corrupted this song so badly, but whatever, it remains really good

You want me to post fucking ANTHEMS as if they meant something? Those are pretty goddamned slim pickings.

no, you can post anything so long as it's not your typical gay teenager rebellious bullshit about I HATE GOVERNMENT I'M AN ANARCHO-COMMUNIST PUNK HERE'S MY BLACK/RED FLAG AND CHE GUEVARA SHIRT HURR AND DURR

[MaggotMaster]

If there's anything that's been worse for Communism than people like Stalin, its rebellious teenagers who have never read anything by Marx in their lives and probably have no idea who Lenin was, yet claim to be communists just to make their parents angry

[Kaysow]

Too bad. In all honesty, that's what I listen to.

[MaggotMaster]

You really have to be some sort of socialist, right? You sound just like I used to sound when I was a young boy.

EDIT: it has it's charm.

I'm a Trotskyist, I'm a nutter who wants permanent revolution for no good reason, hear me whine about pretty much every other socialist movement in existance because the leader of my movement got murdered by a Mexican a shit-ton of time ago, politburo is pig disgusting

[MaggotMaster]

No but seriously I only posted Socialist songs because that's the political movement I associate with, and as such, I'm more familiar with socialist music than say, nationalist works.

Oh, yeah, Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture could be considered a Nationalist composition, or at least politically/historically charged, but I'm sure most of you have heard it already unless you're incredibly uncultured

MM, you ruined your own thread.

[Reichu]

You also need to stop double-posting. Seriously.
