Here are some of the songs on the Democratic Socialists of America's
website that Bernie Sanders' Congressional Progressive Caucus shared
servers with ...
(Can still be found on the Way Back Machine.)
"Red Revolution" sung to the tune of "Red, Red Robbin."
When the Red Revolution
Brings Its Solution
Along, Along
There’ll be no more lootin’
When we start shootin’
That Wall Street throng
Wake up you proletarians
Don’t act like seminarians
Expropriate Barbarians
Build a Workers’ Republic
Exploitation and Degradation
You Won’t Find Here
Surplus Value and Capital Will Disappear
I’m Just a Red again,
Saying what I’ve said again,
When the Red Revolution… da, da, da, da
Brings Its Solution…da, da, da, da, da
Along
“Are You Sleeping, Bourgeoisie,” sung to the tune of “Frere Jacques.”
Are you sleeping, Are you sleeping,
Bourgeoisie, Bourgeoisie,
And when the revolution comes,
We’ll kill you all with knives and guns,
Bourgeoisie, Bourgeoisie
“Bourgeoisie, Bourgeoisie, See How They Run,” sung to the tune of “Three
Blind Mice”
Bourgeoisie, Bourgeoisie,
See how they run,
See how they run
And when the revolution comes,
We’ll kill them all with knives and guns,
Bourgeoisie, Bourgeoisie
Nice, huh? Very "socialist," not "communist" at all. Bernie is just a
"nice, old socialist."
Oh, and Bernie used to hang a Soviet Union Flag in his office.
And, by the way, we know USSR was not communist because they called
themselves the "Soviet SOCIALIST Republics of Russia."
