Listen carefully to the words....


It might as well be the anthem of the GOP.


If only the deeds measured up to the words....


But like the USSR, the GOP is all propaganda and empty shelves...

1. A shame the USSR wasn't an example of democratic socialism. The USSR was unworthy of that anthem.
The Republicans wished they had such a song.

3. They deserve this awful rendition instead, the US anthem sung to Soviet cadence with shitty voice.

11. you neglected to credit the great Paul Robeson as the original did.
take away the militarism of the video and it's a great anthem.

the GOP would find it unacceptable because it includes the words "the people".

isn't there a version of Robeson singing it with black and white footage of laborers instead?
