***The Red Flag (Bandiera Rossa) Is Starting To Fly In Europe Again- Fight For Workers Governments Now

Markin comment:

In parts of Europe, defensively for now, I am seeing more red flags than I have since before the demise of the Soviet Union some twenty years ago as the working class sees clearly that it is to be the "fall guy" for the capitalists' rotten, outmoded system. The class struggle rages, as always. The less clear point is to see the need to fight, and fight to the death if need be, for workers governments. Still it is nice, if only for a moment, to see those red flags becoming more prominent in Italy, Greece and Spain. Forward!

Bandiera Rossa

Avanti o popolo, alla riscossa,
Bandiera rossa, Bandiera rossa.
Avanti o popolo, alla riscossa,
Bandiera rossa trionferà.

Refrain:

Bandiera rossa la trionferà
Bandiera rossa la trionferà
Bandiera rossa la trionferà
Evviva il comunismo e la libertà. Literal Translation


Forward people, to the revolt
The red flag, the red flag
Forward people, to the revolt,
The red flag will triumph

Refrain:

The red flag will triumph,
The red flag will triumph,
The red flag will triumph,
Long live communism and liberty
