@@gainthailand Well it depends, is the leader charismatic or not? Hitler was, and what he envisioned was beneficial for the German people after so long of being stepped on and punished for a war that they didn't even start. Though of course this lead them to starting a worse war and killing millions...then again Communism did worse than that and people still support it so...people are kind of dumb.

Wrong. A person may be intelligent and reasonable, but a society of them turns them into tribal, stupid animals. It takes a clear head and a wise, reasoned perspective to govern for the good of the people.

Complacency in ones government trends towards said government to view themselves above those they serve. It is the right and duty of all free people's to ensure their liberties are never taken for granted.
@Umatsu Obossa guess what? PEOPLE SOMETIMES USE THE SAME WORD FOR DIFFERENT THINGS. The leftist revolutionaries during the Spanish civil war used the term "Republican" for themselves. Stop spreading misinformation and read a book
I’m from Myanmar. The military seized control of our country since Feb 1, detained our leaders, killed and arrested many, many innocent students and citizens. But, we will never ever give up. We will fight for our country and federal democracy. This song gives me a lot of energy to start my day. I will fight for my country till I die. We fight and we will win.
The leaders you defend and describe them as democracy are the ones who practiced discrimination and terror against a sect of your people just because they are Muslim. They subjected me to the worst imaginable torture, abuse and displacement from their country, and the rest of the people did not speak from other sects only because of the difference in religion. It is natural if a segment of the people is oppressed and the rest remain silent, then the state becomes tyrannical The strong in it eat the weak, so they taste from the same cup of injustice
@@محمدمحمد-ق7ث3ب If you are speaking to me, I am well aware of what my leaders did. Is not necessarily towards you specifically , however I am sorry for what happened to you. Know this; Many in my country and I and I spoke out against 2 are leaders telling them that what we are doing is wrong and that [they] lied to us
Mandy Evers It will be a Socialist Republic, dedicated to serving the people and the people only, no tyrant or ruler shall over oppress us again. mwuhahahaha
Can we take a moment to admire how beautifully written these lyrics are? The way the words flowed together is nothing less than impressive all while conveying a lasting message that truly reflected those who were singing it. The only drawback is that the song is fairly short, but I can’t think of any songs that could top this one.
Note: by saying the structure is simple, I do not mean that it's not brilliant. It takes a hell of a mind to put that much meaning and flow into such simple verses.
Every time there is a big protest or movement that takes to the streets this song gets a fresh wave of comments and it's amazing to see pages of history written in the comment section
Get in loser we’re starting a revolution. 💅 Edit: (jeez you guys it was a joke don’t get offended. Can y’all stop arguing in my replies? It. Was. A. Joke. Stop.)
Today, Sept. 4th, 2020, Belarusian students of Minsk State Linguistic University were beaten and detained by the riot police for singing this song within the premises of the university. Can you imagine it?! Please let's spread the news about what's going on there and show them all our solidarity. Long live Belarus!
So I hate to be that guy, and I am by no means calling FAKE NEWS or anything, but the linked story says they were singing Le Marseillaise (the national anthem of France) not Do You Hear The People Sing from Les Miserables. This does not in any way demean or lessen the atrocity that is that story but if we're going to spread awareness about these things, it helps to be as accurate as possible about them.
@@antonyduhamel1166 Ah, of course, completely forgot about that detail. Yes, somehow nearly all proper news outlets got the information we had sung the anthem of France instead of this song. Thing is we were initially planning on singing that, but in the end there weren't quite enough of students with us who studied the language itself. And since the entire uni knows English pretty well, we decided to go with this as an alternative, which is just as fitting and powerful imo.
"Do you hear the people sing? singing a song of angry men, it is the music of the people who will not be slaves again!" My mum: *ASLAN!* get off that table now! And give me that French Flag!
Democracy is dying now. Politicians are hungry for power and wealth. We, people are starving to death.We put trust on you but this is what you(Politicians) give us. People, stand up for which is right. Politicians are afraid of people's power. Let us take back what belongs to us for democracy is freedom. Freedom of speech, knowledge, truth,
Totally agreed. Here in Korea, democracy, especially free of speech is being attacked by the guys who said they fought and will fight for free of speech ad democracy. Recently our president even sued one student for putting up wallposters criticizes him
God gives you these rights, America just said so and now it’s our duty to do something about it… but who the f am I right? I ain’t gonna do anything. Man will suffer wrongs only as long as wrongs are sufferable and all that.
In the Philippines, there is a song adaptation from “Les Miserables.” It is titled “Di Nyo Ba Naririnig.” It also speaks about Filipinos struggle for good governance, freedoms and long-cherished rights.
Godspeed to the protestors in Iran, fighting for the rights of women and journalists; and Godspeed to the protestors of Nigeria, fighting against police brutality!
@@田碧 There's a long history of Hong Kong citizens who have criticised the Chinese government being kidnapped and imprisoned in China with no charge and sometimes dying under mysterious circumstances, now the HK government want to legalise this to help China persecute those who criticise China
There are two people who can decide to stop the war Zelensky and putin But Zelensky and ukraine must fight or endure hell putin can choose to stop and endure a bruised ego Or with hindsight Save his ego
The fact that people forgot about the Hong Kong protests proves that the media has been twisting the narrative to make us forget, do not forget keep fighting they have not lost yet so long as they still live they have a chance and we can help them
@@ArtymusPrime I legit havn't seen a mention of protests in Hong Kong on the news since it started, the only reason i know it's still happening is the internet.
T Mack I believe the idea is that those who die give their lives do their comrades can have a better future. They're happy because they know that those who die won't die in vain.
Respect from China mainland. There’s almost nothing I can give, but an echo to the beating hearts of all you restless youth. Keep strong and take care. ❤️
I love the Chinese people, from America, I dream of a world where we can all live free. Our own government is catching up to how awful the CCP is. In 1776, America set off a revolution that changed the world. Maybe, we can spark another awakening, and show these losers across the world that the people will not put up with thier crap anymore. Viva la resistance.
@@stephenhancock1578 Does the US hear the black people sing? Does the Us hear the souls that were shot sing? Well, I think they are hearing day by day. I love American people, but you see, you are not even truely free on your land. I have no doubt there should be a much better world than ours, but it's probably not in your way. Prejudice won't make you know the world clearly.
@@atlastang7909 We're free in my state. And most people see past the CCP funded BLM lies too. Statistics are not on their side of the argument. America has work to do, but anyone can go anywhere else in the world if they don't like it.

Honestly, "The blood of the martyrs will water the meadows of France!" is honestly my favorite line in this song. Just the fact that it implies that every single person who died for the revolution will not be in vain and that their death had meaning to their cause. Even if they die and will not see the life and freedom they envisioned, the revolution, and by extension France, the country they love and fight for, and for the people they fight alongside with, will one day bloom and thrive from the soil their blood had nourished.
@@minimalgrammar1276 More like 150 as it's about a revolt after napoleon was defeated. I dont remember the names or the story in full context anymore but thats how it went more. or less. One of the french generals who served under napoleon, a well known loyalist with great reputation passed away and during his funeral there was a sudden civil unrest which caused a local paris revolution which didnt expand beyond it. It was also quickly put down
@@budowniczypylonow7026 Would be in terribly bad taste of hugo if it was about the revolution given the revolution took an unfair system of weak despotism by a king who badly wanted to be liked by the public who already hated him and replaced it with the worst tyranny in western europe before a military emperor took power and ruled with a secret police.

23條反對 You are right. American protesters are nothing but a bunch of rioters paid and misguided by the CCP. What more can they expect? They are already living in the most free nation on the planet. American heroes are president Trump, police and the army national guard who work hard to maintain law and orders. Hong Kong people are the only legitimate protesters, Free Hong Kong from the tyrannical CCP!
Now, the song has been baned in China.Much people around the world stand with HongKong people, I also hope you stand with mainland China people.We have a same enemy, the goverment
The protests for George Floyed have become far more. This is the start of something bigger "it is the music of a people who will NOT be slaves again" #justiceforgeorgefloyd
Soft Girl what r u talking about? Acab is born out of hatred of police genocide and is completely justified. Looting IS the ultimate form of protesting they are taking back material wealth that has been robbed of them for 400 plus years. You’ve been watching too much MSNBC
@Soft Girl lmfaoo yes they do they have the right to loot from corporate stores not from small business. they are reclaiming labor that has been robbed from them, stop trying to act like only small business' are only targeted when thats clearly not true and its billion dollar companies that are being looted are the vast majority. Looting IS protesting, Looting IS Redistribution.
@Soft Girlyeah i did and ur simply avoid the facts u idiot, u realize ACAB is an expression not a group right? just like antifa isnt an organized group its simply a movement, again im not condoning looting small business but the majority of the looting is targeted at large corporations who deserve it, it seems you care more about looting and the loss of material wealth rather then the genocide of black people that has been led by the police in this country, ur trying to be a fear monger while avoiding the actual cause of that crime, your shifting the blame to some perceived bs libertarian free will where we just judge people for the things they do even if the things they do are a natural response to conditions they've been subjected to.
If anyone In or Thailand or America or Indonesia Philippines or Hong Kong read this, I want you to know that the worlds people stand with you.

Me a few Months Ago: I wonder if anyone ever will this sing in real life on a Demonstration Hong Kong: DO YOU HEAR THE PEOPLE SING? Love from Germany to you Hong Kong, never be slaves again! ❤
@@bhorin8874 you're so excruciatingly stupid. I have an idea, how about instead of making a dumbass conclusion, listen to the whole story and make an observation from there
Schools: we're thinking of going to year round school. Highschools around the country: do you hear the students sing? Singing the song of angry kids? It is the cries of the students who will not be held again. When the beating of your heart echoes the scratching of the pen. We know, deep down, the students are 'bout to win!
gillian rogers This works so well! And I’m actually “rewriting” Les Miserables to fit a modern High School. When you think about it, this story actually fits well. Interesting how universal this story/musical is. It can fit anywhere and any place. It’s on Wattpad in case any of y’all want to see it. I’m working on Lovely Ladies right now (it’s taking longer than expected because of school and because I’m in my school’s production of Les Miserables)

The American people are with you. Our government is a mess right now, we are trying to throw out the same type of people controlling Cuba right now in America. Stand strong, we love you.
I imagine this will all end when the aliens come to take us over and we have to unite as the human race, when we go forward as one to stop the annihilation of all. I think we'll sing this then. Common enemy breeds unity, and i truly believe that is the only way we will get past racial and political problems and come together as a world.
This song makes me so happy? I've always liked it, but I think the selling moment for me was being surround by all my friends in theater, singing all together as loud as we could. It genuinely felt like we were getting ready for a revolution.
I’d LEAD a revolution against the shitty education system. No, really, imagine students, sick of the Board of Education’s bullshit, march through the halls, singing this, Las Marseillaise, and WJCMH. Trust me, already planning this.
I have seen the state of both American political parties. They have always been at each other’s throats for ages, but with the election controversy leading to and resulting in the assault on the US Capitol.. it’s safe to say that BOTH the Democrat and Republican parties should disband one way or another regardless of the unlikely odds.
Hey guys! Amazing that this has 2M views. Thanks so much! I just wanted to apologize for the quiet beginning of the reprise. I can't increase the volume without deleting the whole video. You'll just have to turn your volume up! Enjoy :)
i am scared for what my country will be in the future when the son of the dictator who killed thousands of innocent people take the position as a president. never again.. yet here we go again. they forgot what he did to our country, they forgot the debts he left unpaid, and the countless lives he took. i wish those who voted for him to have their children grow up exactly who they voted for. please wish us all luck. from the philippines.
A group of women was thrown out of the Spanish Congress building because they sang this song minutes before a law against the freedom of protest was approved.
David Del Pozo Filíu It will eventually get better. One day freedom will win. Or the world will just collapse. there is no such thing as complete control or power. Some governments just doesn't realize that. The governments' attempts to gain complete control over EVERYONE will result in the human instincts of the citizens to just tear civilization apart or overthrow tyranny and corruption. We choose.
Vardaan Bhat Yeeeaaaaah. I kind of like civilization, so I hope it doesn't get to that extreme lol, The ones that are governing now are probably be defeated in the next election, the economical crisis is going to end eventually and things will get better, no need for violently overthrowing the system. I don't know how much you know about Spanish history, but long story short, every little attempt of democracy has gone wrong and lasted very few years (my personal favourite of those attemps is the constitution of 1812, maybe because of the context in which it was written), up until the 1978 constitution, therefore Spanish people doesn't have a culture of democracy, we don't know how to handle it, and how to make it work (and the constitution of 1978 was written in a very conservative manner, because it was just when a dictatorship that lasted over 30 years ended, and it was without a revolution or war, so the constitution was written with extreme care in order to NOT piss off the people who still had power, aka those who ruled during the dictatorship). So really, we just need a new constitution, adapted to more modern times, and time to adapt ourselves to democracy. The main percentage of voters were born and raised during that dictatorship.
In our struggle we fight not for ourselves, but for our children, and for our children's children, and for all who will inherit this world from us. When tomorrow comes, let them remember us fondly.
If only people who can go to the protests could start singing this with a few friends and will keep repeating it until everyone else joins in if they know the meaning of this song. It would be an awesome display of passive power and unity but I doubt that will ever happen since it seems more like a fantasy dream.
My history teacher played this in class the other day and all throughout 1st and 2nd periods today I was humming this song...then in art class I put this song on (as well as several others from this amazing musical) and I was so wrapped up in the songs that I probably would have missed the bell if my teacher hadn't told us to go wash our brushes out and get ready to go.
I actually was listening to this in my British liteture class and I was kinda singing it under my breath and my good friend heard and joined in and our English teacher smiled and told us how this is one of his favorite books and musicals. It was nice to see him enjoy it.
I hope not. Because this song is for French Revolution and following with massive head chopping, unjust trails, and chaos. I just hope China is wealthy and going towards the direction of better future.
Keliang Lu thank you for correction, French started so many Revolution, And each time blood shed and bringing Chaos. I think the French Revolution is most productive one, as they real did get rid of monarchy
America is slowly waking up. Europe is slowly waking up. When we see what they've done, when the light pierces the darkness, they won't stand a chance. God is with us, especially when it feels like all is lost. Arm up, stock up, and be ready.
People have actually been singing this during the protests and it is going on social media. The song could not be more fitting in all honestly although I sincerely hope it will not end the same way the French Revolution did.
