14 anti-war songs on the ‘Folk it!’ sub-channel of Concertzender (nl), running to just under one hour, most of which are not in English:
Yes, the relative pronoun ‘which’ seems to refer to Downing’s desires, not to the Labour Party.
How had you written it before it was ‘sub-edited’?
In addition to the 6 links in the two posts above, here now is a seventh.
Some use of the internet including deepl reveals that it is from an conspiratorialist anti-migrant speech by Viktor Orbán on 15 March 2016 saying, to start with, ‘In Europe today it is forbidden to speak the truth’.
(How was this arrived at? Beginning from looking up ’tilos kimondani’, the Hungarian for ‘it is forbidden to say/speak’.)
Music for non-sung speech by the group Tin Men and the Telephone.
I find this a genius marriage of (excellent) music and text.
ALB will have to tell us what Marine Le Pen is saying.
The last two (next post) are from Trump talking.
First three:
And here is the preface (in English) to the German translation:
First german translation of an important work on the period of transition
Regarding the booklet by L.L Men, ‘Two Texts for Defining the Communist Programme’ ( here https://libcom.org/article/ll-men-two-texts-defining-communist-programme ),
it, or rather the ‘What is Socialism? part of it, has recently (!) been published in German by Red & Black Books.

And, by the way, here is Michael Rectenwald, who is seeking the presidential nomination of the Libertarian Party in the US:https://rectenwald2024.com
He’s an ex-left-communist ex-comrade of Loren Goldner’s.
‘Let’s bury little Nickolai along with his mother’.
The mother being Dagmar of Denmark, widow of Alexander III.
But for an empress she could have been worse. Kropotkin (‘The Present Crisis in Russia’. 1901) relates:
‘It so happened, however, that when the police were beating the students on the Neva bridge, the Dowager Empress passed by, and was cheered by the students. So she spoke to her son: “They were quite loyal,” she said; “they cheered me. Why do you allow the police to treat them so brutally?” The result was that the ex-Minister of War, General Vannovsky, was appointed to make a general inquiry. He proved that there was not the slightest reason for calling in the police, lectured the police authorities, canceled nearly all the orders of exclusion of students, and released all of them.’
