      No more deluded by reaction

      On tyrants only we’ll make war

      The soldiers too will take strike action

      They’ll break ranks and fight no more

      Classic authoritarianist mindset right there.

      what about that song is authoritarian. it's literally about international solidarity among the working class. like they couldn't even dig deep enough to find a cult of personality song praising Stalin?

        it was the red army choir version, so it was in Russian. and it was subtitled in CHINESE. Those are some very very authoritarian languages don't you know

          Ask the school if they can equip your class with some calipers to enhance the experience

        international solidarity among the working class.

        Yes that's the authoritarian part. Working class people uniting and using their authority to punish hard working job creators.
