- The Song "Hold The Fort" is an IWW song dating back to the beggining of the 20th century, made as a response to borgouis tries to quench protest with bands that plyed religious music. It is therefore roughly based on a church song with the same name.
The pronunciations of some words are very wierd, the best explanation I've found for this is that this version was apparently sung by a Czech choir.
Never forget Everett's Black Sunday! Working days shorter than 16 hours are existing because Unionists died for our rights.
Solidarity forever Comrades! Remember the biggest of change starts with small steps
Greetings and solidarity from the Commune of France !

Is actually taken from the Christian song Hold the fort which goes "hold the fort for I am coming". It's a song about Christians fighting against and resisting temptations, and that Christ will save and deliver us from these temptations.
"Hold the Fort” was written by evangelist Philip Paul Bliss in 1870 after hearing a Federal army veteran describe the October 5, 1864 Battle of Allatoona Pass (near Cartersville, Georgia). The Federal garrison at the pass was heavily outnumbered when attacked by the division of Confederate Major General Samuel G. French. Upon learning about the signal flags message sent from Union Major General William T. Sherman to Brigadier General John M. Corse telling him to “Hold the Fort, for I am coming!”* with reinforcements Bliss was inspired to write that Jesus signals Christians to hold strong to their beliefs “for I am coming.”
Goes like "Ho, my comrades, see the signal, waving in the sky!
Reinforcements now appearing, victory is nigh.
“Hold the fort, for I am coming,” Jesus signals still;
Wave the answer back to Heaven, “By Thy grace we will.”
See the mighty host advancing, Satan leading on;
Mighty men around us falling, courage almost gone!
“Hold the fort, for I am coming,” Jesus signals still;
Wave the answer back to Heaven, “By Thy grace we will.”
Where is this artwork from?
They're Syndicalist posters made by the Kaiserreich mod team. Specifically the first one is a "Union of Britain" poster; and the second and third ones are parts of a "Combined Syndicates of America" poster.

Hope you find this helpful!
@@alicesrevolutionaryradio4140 thanks comrade
where did you make this because some of the pronounciations here can only be done by AI
As far as I managed to gather, it was sung by a czech choir a couple of decades ago. But again, that's based on scattered evidence that I've gathered from a couple of sources, most of them are not that reliable. I can find other uploads of this version from more than half a decade ago, so if it was AI, then it would have probably been a vocaloid or something of that kind. Again, I am not sure, but that's basically what I know.
USA communism.... ok
trade unions arent really communism
Syndicalism is not the same as communism
Syndicalists believe in unionizing all of the workers. Communism is a stateless, classless country. A communist state is a one-party socialist state
You gotta be four years old lmao
