I want to correct the lyrics where it says: "Russland til krig og så song dei i kor (Russia went to war and then they sang as one)" It is supposed to say "Rusla til krig og så song dei i kor (Strolled to war and then they sang as one)"
Native Norwegian here, fantastic translation but the only problem is "Herrefolk" which translates more into "Landlord" or "Capitalist" instead of the master race.
Hello, I just want to say, a great song, and thank you for posting it or else I wouldn't have known of it. From what I can tell, all Norwegian communist songs tend to be anti-Soviet and partially anti-West, but more leaning toward the US, surprisingly. Not to say the imagery doesn't work, because a lot of the time the images you've chosen do, but if I'm understanding the song properly, there's also times where it might work to show the events described, i.e. Prague 1968, Saigon during the war, or maybe Hungary 1956. Just my personal suggestion and the imagery won't stop me from watching the video but just wanted to put that forward.
Norwegian communist songs tend to be anti revisionist. Contrary to the popular perception of 68 and 56 weren’t revolts for the restoration of capitalism but for the overthrow of revisionism which had taken part in those countries by Khrushchev via Soviet social imperialism. Both Mao and Hoxha strongly condemned Soviet intervention in both 56 and 68.
@@roedagardet Native Norwegian here, the "master race" is a mistranslation. A more accurate translation would be "Landlord" or "Capitalist". The song itself is anti-American and anti-Soviet, taking what seems to be a more Euro/Neo-Communist approach.
@@griddy922 That makes more sense, thank you. The both anti-Soviet and anti-US approach was favoured by Maoists and Hoxhaists, especially after the invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968, which Mao and Hoxha saw as a shocking display of Soviet imperialism, anti-communism, and barbarism. It could also be eurocommunist for sure though, but I know Norway and Scandinavia generally has a lot of Maoist orgs
@@roedagardet Yep, I would make a hard guess that this was produced by AKP-ML, a defunct Maoist party that made a lot of songs and public condemnations of the USSR and USA.
