- Lyrics -
The imperialists rape and plunder this glorious land,
they rob and steal the nation we're molding with our hands.
But burns bright that red starlight we'll smash the imperialist might,
We'll win liberation, win liberation, win liberation.

It is we who plowed the praries - built the cities where they trade,
built the mines and built the factories, endless miles of railroad laid.
But the reactionary bourgeoise like traitors, sold out our country.
Death to the traitors, death to the traitors, death to the traitors.

Dusty miners pulling ore from the bowels of the Earth,
proletarians in the factories, wage-slaves from birth.
Our people have a proud heritage of fighting against our bondage.
We'll smash our chains, we'll smash our chains, we'll smash our chains.

The enemy before us is a monster indeed,
human blood and bones are the food on which it feeds.
But faces it a world of foes, imperialism is in death throes,
death to the traitors, death to the traitors, death to the traitors.

Toilers in the shops, and tillers in the fields,
native people, Québécois, unity is real,
they work to split our unity and divert us from our enemy,
long live our unity, long live our unity, long live our unity.

They send foreign agents into our midst,
opportunists and revisionists are police socialists.
They talk about revolution just to sow confusion.
Death to the traitors, death to the traitors, death to the traitors.

We've nothing but contempt for the traitorous state.
And for the bourgeoise with nothing but class hate.
We're prepared for revolution, we know the solution.
Make the rich pay, make the rich pay, make the rich pay.

Windward waves our red flag, a fist to the sky,
the Canadian people's fury rises with all we defy,
the lackey Ottawa traitors who sold out our land and labor,
death to the traitors, death to the traitors, death to the traitors.

Death to the traitors, death to the traitors, death to the traitors.

Even in a song wishing death to capitalists Canadians sound nice and friendly

[stanleysmooth]

This song is just the total reverse of "Ain't I Right"

When Canada is sick of the USA bullying them:

The enemy before us is a monster indeed, human blood and bones are the food on which it feeds, but faces it a world of foes, imperialism is in death throes.

Me when I see a MAGA supporter in Canada

[TravisLoneWolfWalsh]

Canadian socialism and equality to all fellow Canadians from Natives to the French to the Scottish and Irish

[Frthar]

When they say “death to the traitors”. I feel a weird sense crawl up my spine. They say it in the weirdest way possible...

[hibye]

I love how recent this video. Class consciousness is rising around the world!

[LODZ]

Wow this is really accurate way to describe Capitalism

[okarthegreat]

American Republicans: Canadians are socialists!
Canadians: You want socialism? Here you go!

[Darklazer]

I’m sorry but “Canadian Anti-Revisionist Song” is a funny series of words.

Canada really needs a new workers party. Our Communist parties are honestly (no offense intended) quite pathetic, stuck in the mid 20th century. It's essentially imaginary. I want a more youthful and progressive communist party.

Who else thinks this song will go well with rdr?
