Vignette: Sayleswelshian Internationalism in action? What actually lies behind their rhetoric?
Stand up, all victims of oppression
For the tyrants fear your might
Hang on tight to your possessions
You have nothing, if you have no rights
Let nationalist ignorance be ended
For respect makes the empires fall
Freedom is merely privilege extended
Unless enjoyed by one and all
So come brothers and sisters
For the struggle carries on
Internationalism unite the world in song
So fellow collectors come rally
For this is the time and place
The international ideal
Unites the human race
Let no one build walls to divide us
Walls of hatred, nor walls of stone
Come greet the dawn and stand beside us
We'll work together or we'll die alone
In our world poisoned by exploitation
Those who have taken, now they must give
And end the vanity of nations
We've but one Earth on which to live:
So brothers and sisters...
And so begins the final drama
In streets, the courts and fields
We stand unbowed before their armour
We defy their guns and shields
When we fight (provoked by their aggression)
Let us be inspired by like and love
For though they offer us concessions
Change will not come from above.
