Song of revolution

[Xipe Totec]

Companion farmers, companion laborers,
let us sing together, all of us for the idea and the heart,
the old, the adult, the child, man or woman
the profound and effusive song of revolution.

This is not the cry that calls to anger and to fight,
this is the song of labor, it is the song of love,
the impulse that awakes each home,
only destroying when it is needed,
to build what's better going forth!

Place your feet uppon the ground,
and our eyes to the clear blue sky,
Life marks the hour in the human clock.
Students, Farmers, and laborers,
sing to revolution, sing the revolution.

In books, in ploughs, in machinery, there is bread,
in the present, and the future, in art, in science, and common good,
the pride of making country, and of loving liberty
Love is in our schools, planted fields, and workshops,
in our planted fields and shops.

==================================

Compañeros sembradores, compañeros del taller,
entonad, unidos todos por la idea y el corazón,
el anciano y el adulto, el pequeño y la mujer
el profundo y efusivo canto de revolución.
No es el grito que provoca a la ira y a lucha,
¡es el canto del trabajo, es el himno del amor,
el impulso de entusiasmo que despierta en cada hogar,
y destruye, si es preciso, para construir mejor!.
Fijad los pies a la tierra, los ojos al cielo azul,
-la vida marca su hora en el humano reloj estudiantes,
campesinos y obreros, cantad la revolución
cantad la revolución.
En el libro y el arado y en la máquina, está el pan,
el presente y el futuro, el arte, la ciencia, el bien,
el orgullo de hacer patria y de amar la libertad
¡el amor, está en la escuela y en el surco y el taller! ,
¡en el surco y el taller!.

1. Wonderful lyrics. Interesting link. Had to look for more photos of Nuevo Leon,

as I'd never known anything about that area.

Amazing landscape there, too. Looks like a beautiful place to live.

Really impressive sentiments of people who ARE working together for a shared vision. Thank you.

2. Curious

Are you connected with LetraViva? Pretty impressive program down there.

That "enciclomedia" hardware/software is spectacular and there is nothing like it in the local school system.

4. Very Marxist

Notice the following paragraph:

"This is not the cry that calls to anger and to fight,
this is the song of labor, it is the song of love,
the impulse that awakes each home,
ONLY DESTROYING WHEN IT IS NEEDED
to build what's better going forth!

The idea that society needs to be destroyed to build the communist future was first seeded by Marx and Engels, but it was brought to perfection by VI Lenin and the Bolzheviks when they proceeded to murder millions of Russians. They rationalize this destruction because they acknowledge human nature is contrary to their dogma, that all should be equal, to each according to his labor (as defined by them), etc. Thus communists develop state terror, and destroy existing institutions, as a matter of course, because they see no alternative if they are going to implement the radical changes they have in mind.

The problem they face is intractable, no matter how much they beat down and terrorize the population, the individual refuses to fold into the selfless drone they wish to build. This force, to look out for oneself and one's family, is very hard wired in homo sapiens. This means the first to violate the communist dogma are the senior communist party members, and their allies in the military and the secret services. These communist elites live in the large homes taken from the "bourguesie", drive the large cars, and have the privileges previously given to the rich. And the people know this happens, and because the communist elites, the noveau rich dressed in red, refuse to give up their perks, then the people become cynical disenchanted, and proceed to undermine the repressive regime the only way they can: they refuse to work efficiently, steal, become corrupt, and if they can they flee and make a living in a free country.

This is what happened in the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, Cambodia, Viet Nam, Cuba, and is happening now in Venezuela. In the end, these losers with their crummy ideas only bring poverty, lack of freedom, and destruction of the environment. And this is the reason why, in every country which has liberated itself from communism, one can not find many individuals who would like to return to the old communist days. To them the slogan becomes "Anything but the reds, please".

5. You read too much into it

By your reasoning, the American revolution was a Marxist movement.

Get off your high horse.

6. Gee, I thought it was very Christian. n/t

8. It's the destroying what is needed that gives me chills

I know exactly what that's all about. Not being a Christian, I really don't think being very Christian is necessarily such a big deal. I don't even think Jesus of Nazareth was Christian, right? The religion we know today evolved after the guy died. I think he was more of a radical Jew, probably a communist - nothing wrong with it because he seems to have been a Ghandi like Jew, more into passive resistance, rather than a psychopath like V.I. Lenin.

The Jew who sounds more like Jesus today is Noam Chomsky, although he really disappointed me when he started defending Israel a couple of years ago.

7. Incorrect reading

The American revolution was a simple revolt against the British crown. They didn't destroy society. What your little ditty advocates is the destruction of society. Maybe you don't even realize what's behind those words, but I have studied communists with a microscope - I read Marx, Engels, Lenin, and the others. And that line is a key line, because it is the core philosophy communist leaders have, that they must destroy society to rebuild it. They also say they must destroy man to build new socialist man. This is why they have no problems torturing, jailing, and massacring their opponents. So before you start singing their little songs, do understand you are in bed with some very nasty characters.

By the way, they are also fully aware they can only reach power by deception and lies. This is coded in the words of "smart" communists like Hans Dietterich (read his interviews, they are very revealing and loaded with coded statements if you know what to look for). This means that, if you are indeed deceived, this is not an exception. Most of you who suppport the Castros of the world don't realize what's going on. George Orwell saw it very clearly, and symbolized it in the book "Animal Farm". Just to make sure you get it, communist leaders are symbolized by the pigs in the book.
