at the end of the video-clip of IF YOU TOLERATE THIS YOUR CHILDREN WILL BE NEXT, you hear a musical box playing a song. this song is 'the internationale'.'The Internationale' is the international song of both Marxist and non-Marxist socialist parties. It was written in French (as 'l'internationale') by Eugene Pottier (1816-1887) in 1871, a woodworker from Lille, after the fall of the Paris Commune of 1871, and set to music by P. Degeyter (1848-1932) in 1888. It was translated into many languages, and the Russian version served as the national anthem of the Soviet Union until 1944, when it was replaced by joseph stalin by the 'Hymn of the Soviet Union' for reasons of morale. Battlefield reports indicated soldiers were more willing to die for 'Mother Russia' than for any 'international working class'.

The "Internationale" referred to is the International Working Men's Association, the so-called First International (1864-1876), part of which had supported the Commune.'the internationale' has been used across the world as a song of resistence to oppression. Perhaps its most dramatic use in recent years was its repeated singing by the students in Tiananmen Square (beijing, china) in 1989 - although, curiously, the western press did not comment on this.'the internationale' is cynically played by a musical box in the end of the video-clip of IF YOU TOLERATE THIS YOUR CHILDREN WILL BE NEXT, msp's song about socialist values in the spanish civil war and the way these values don't really live anymore.

the british text (differing from the american, canadian and south african english texts) is:

Arise ye workers from your slumbers
Arise ye prisoners of want
For reason in revolt now thunders
And at last ends the age of cant.
Away with all your superstitions
Servile masses arise, arise
We'll change henceforth the old tradition
And spurn the dust to win the prize.

So comrades, come rally
And the last fight let us face
The Internationale
unites the human race!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
And if those cannibals keep trying
To sacrifice us to their pride
They soon shall hear the bullets flying
We'll shoot the generals on our own side.

So comrades, come rally
And the last fight let us face
The Internationale
unites the human race!No saviour from on high delivers
No faith have we in prince or peer
Our own right hand the chains must shiver
Chains of hatred, greed and fear
E'er the thieves will out with their booty
And give to all a happier lot.
Each at the forge must do their duty
And we'll strike while the iron is hot!So comrades, come rally
And the last fight let us face
The Internationale
unites the human race!
