I used to never understand the old leftist songs

Posted by anarcholatina on 2022-05-16

You know, like, ¡A las Barricadas!, All You Fascists, Go On Home British Soldiers and so on. They didn’t really feel… leftist.

Modern political songs are about ideology, ethics, psychology, feelings, experiences. They explores the values that we have.  The old ones are basically battle songs. There is an enemy and we gotta be brave. Tweak some buzzwords and they could be about any conflict, really. I felt much more empathy for modern lyrics.

But then one fair morning, I woke up early, (oh bella ciao, bella ciao,
goodbye
    beautiful,)
one fair morning, I woke up early, to find the fascist
  at my door.

And then I got it.
