I think we should call the masses of tents of the homeless "Reaganville's" just like the homeless shanty towns of the 1920's were called Hooverville's.
Work with DSA when you can and support Working Families Party candidates at the local level if you're in a place where they're present. As of the 2023 elections, WFP is a bigger party in Philadelphia than the Republicans now ✊
Those who enhance or make a country great are those who work not only for their family but also to fulfill the dreams of an entrepreneur or company, call themselves slaves but without them they are nobody and they would not have what they need to eat, good profit and value those who contribute something in your life and family
I dont think "impeccable timing" fits here since he's most likely making this specifically because of worker's day as opposed to it concidentally being related to a current like the ukraine anthem coming on the same day russia invaded
Interesting how this melody is the same as Battle Hymn of the Republic, another song which mentions the "union" but the difference is that this song talks about worker unions and the Battle Hymn talks about the Union during the American Civil War.
There's a couple of song like this example: -Blood on the Risers -Battle Hymn of the Republic -Song of the Belfast Brigade -Hãy tiếp tục đoàn kết với Việt Nam -ともだち賛歌 -Glory glory man united -Badluram ka Badan Edit: -John Brown body
@@ingodwetrust4729 John Brown was awesome. Not many people would go dying to free slaves like he did in those times. A crazy sob that was willing to die for the emancipation of fellow Americans will always have my respect.
@@ricefield1783 Actually, "John Brown's Body" is also an alteration of the original song, which was, to my understanding, a Christian song "Say brothers"
This song was sung by people who did actual work. Real, actual dangerous work for the equivalent of dollars a day. Not sitting in an air conditioned office complaining about not getting paid for writing hallmark movies.
Workers are people nevertheless. All people deserve fair treatment, no matter what exactly it is that they do. One's job being easier doesn't mean they don't deserve to be treated fairly @@Joe-my6go
@@Joe-my6go This song is for those who labor to create the value that the bosses reap. You have no right to speak on it if you have no idea of solidarity.
United we stand Divided we fall Fight with your union, fight for your class, fight for your right, your comrades and class needs you! //Proud unionzed worker in Sweden.
My community of Grand Rapids, Minnesota just had a Papermill union battle with their foreign owned owners. The union stood strong, the community came together, and we won. Solidarity forever for the union makes our communities strong.
I know I like him too but I wish we included these lyrics. They say our day is over; they say our time is through, They say you need no union if your collar isn't blue, Well that is just another lie the boss is telling you, For the Union makes us strong! (Chorus) They divide us by our color; they divide us by our tongue, They divide us men and women; they divide us old and young, But they'll tremble at our voices, when they hear these verses sung, For the Union makes us strong! (Chorus)[9]
Some idiot: “HA, your just too lazy. Working 2 jobs isn’t that hard” That guys grandad: “Your being ripped off comrade? Take this rifle and we will go fight for a better future for everyone”
@@Natepancakes913 And depressingly accurate. When Andrew Carnegie's workers tried to strike for better wages so his chairman, Henry Frick, called in the Pinkerton's basically as mercenaries and 10 people died... Frick then called in the national guard, the union was broken, and it wasn't until WWI that steel worker unions were able to rally and make demands. Seriously fuck Henry Frick and fuck Andrew Carnegie.

Long live the honest and respectable Working Class, who despite many attacks of the capitalists and the elites against them, always loved, cherished and built the United States of America. A greater and better America will also come from the respect of the working class and the improvement of their living conditions. Workers are among the most respectable citizens, since it is them who built, build and will continue to build the Nation. God bless America 🇺🇸
Unions, so-called labor rights, caring for the working class and caring for the class of commoners are all anti-Semitic trends. We need to only care for businessmen, politicians, policy makers, lobbyists, Hollywood producers, usurious bankers, gemologists and goldsmiths ..we need to return to our true zi0nist capitalist dogma, mas0nic fraternal values and kabbalist core.

Communists are the true fighters. Not the capitalists. Not the MLs. Not the fascists. But the communist. They support the workers around the world. Each and everyday
You are not a communist yet we have the same ideas. It shows that because of properganda people are scared to say what they are because"better dead than red"
@@MrNoob-pb2lrCommunism idealizes a shared economy and disgraces the possession of personal wealth. It is different from simply supporting worker's rights.
@@gtworldzhd4137 Socialism is workers owning the means of production, which is different from communism. I am not advocating for socialism, but stating the difference.
@@affordablex4914 I know the difference, but many people, especially American Republicans, confuse socialism with communism. In reality, communism is an ideology within the domain of socialism, like social-democracy, anarchism, marxism etc.

@@FaZeAnneFrank1945 like all nationalities we should treat the American workers with our utmost respect, but I think our relationship with the US is particularly strong as we have a strong cultural link, but even with that in mind we should also show solidarity to all workers struggles worldwide
I love how this song has background singers that come in and out to make it seem like a crowd of workers is actually singing it in a march. Pure genius
Don't know how to explain this but this song feels like a gathering around a campfire in the middle of a cold winter night, the people are from many different backgrounds, but they're united in solidarity. It's quite comforting.
I think of all the workers who have fought and died for the concessions we have now. I think of all the workers who fought and died under feudalism, hoping one day to live in a better world of liberation. I think of how we fight and will continue to fight for them, and to fight and continue to fight for the grandkids of our grandkids. So that, one day, they will live in a better world of liberation.
the greatest lie the bossman ever told was that there was a difference between the white and blue collar, let labor, manual and intellectual unite and cast down the haughty chains of those who would steal the value of our labor
Thank you working people of years past who fought everything from 90 hour weeks, to unsafe conditions, to Pinkerton thugs beating their heads in to secure the conditions and 40 hour weeks we enjoy now. Solidarity forever!

Here’s to a day when this song resounds throughout the world in every language! Eternal Glory and Power to All Workers, Everywhere! Everything for Everyone! Solidarity Forever!
Marxism-Leninism-Maoism? The only thing you have to lose is your freedom and your life. Mao killed more people than anyone else in human history. There is nothing full fledged communism can offer that democratic socialism can't give us without authoritarianism and the woes of misguided fanaticism.
@@lochnessmunster1189 Barely any vacation a year is not worker rights. Not paying your waiters is not rights, it is a scummy fucking practise. America has the worst worker rights in the Western world.
I stand in solidarity with the workers of the world. We most remember that what we have now was not given to us, but it was fought for by the workers of old so on this great May day, remember those of old and celebrate those of the future who continue there work. When nothing gose right go left. Long live the Labour Movment.
An extremely powerful song. It is sad how this is a very real fight workers have to put up with, not in the US only but the rest of the world. Its a sad truth that the workers are much less powerful now. Unions are weak and now it has returned to the capitalist who employs them. Because now, work is now all overseas. More people should hear this song, a bygone era of worker's organisation.
What is sad about this is that at the current moment, worker’s jobs are being replaced by machines which are putting people unemployed and American workers everywhere now are unemployed due to moving factories to foreign governments to make a little more money. May the lord bless the workers and may one day things could go better
Machines will probably prevail, though people will still have to operate these things. The fact is that atleast as China and other countries use cheap labor it will be used because it’s cheaper.
I do not understand the working class at all. They are given jobs and salary cause they cant build their own future and they complain that the job is bad and demand higher salary, so the owners buy robots instead. And guess what? The working class is angry again. Its really funny, cause when the owners dont need them and can have cheaper robots, workers somehow think they are entitled to be employed there and demand good salary as well.
Hell yeah man. Always good to see the UAW fightin the good fight. My grandad was a UAW member up at the Fisher Body Plants that made Oldsmobiles back in the day.
@@cyb3rklev872 Aside from fighting tooth and nail for the unions all i can really find is him claiming to be a A pacafist and an anarchist as well as this very conservative quote almost sounds like something trump would say 🤔 “Ammon Hennacy was a Catholic, anarchist, pacifist, draft dodger of two world wars, tax refuser, vegetarian, one man revolution in America. After he got to know me….he said you've got to be a pacifist. I asked why. He said it will save your life….He said, you were born a white man in mid 20th century industrial America. You came into the world armed to the teeth with an arsenal of weapons - the weapons of privilege. Racial privilege. Sexual privilege. Economic privilege. If you want to be a pacifist, it's not just giving up guns and knives and clubs and fists and angry words, it's giving up the weapons of privilege, and going into the world completely disarmed. Try that. That old man has been gone now for 20 years, and I'm still at it. But I figure if there is a wprthwhile struggle in my own life, that's probably the one.” -Utah Phillips 2004 democracy now interview
@@cyb3rklev872 Yes it is. It is calling for workers control and it acknowledges the class struggle. It also says that capitalists steal workers surplus.
@Forgotten User 1st! This is a greetings to all the workers. 2nd! USA, has no official language, as it is not stated in the constitution, for the case of multiculturalism.
i wish i was able to be a part of a movement like the unionization of the workforces back in the day, today but there is no solidarity anymore and the unions are owned by the people they're meant to fight
Happy Workers Day, these workers brought America into a new age back then and made a stronger and mightier America then ever before, cheers for American Democracy and it's industrial might and dedication to themselves and the world.
Huge irony having a USA flag as the backdrop to this song. From local police standing with corporations to national guard suppression of labor strikes few governments, if any, have worked as hard to foil labor movements as the USA has. All power to the workers, solidarity forever.
A reminder that you owe your boss nothing. They will not remember your unpaid overtime or your perfect attendance. They will profit many times over from your hours than you. And they at best reward you with a pizza party and a pen. At worst, "downsizing" and "restructuring". If the employer views you as livestock, it is time to view the employer as the wolf.
