The artist also has a bunch more of absolute anti-capitalist and specifically anti-bri*ish bangers.

Lyrics

It isn't nice to block the doorway,

It isn't nice to go to jail,

There are nicer ways to do it,

But the nice ways always fail.

It isn't nice, it isn't nice,

You told us once, you told us twice,

But if that is Freedom's price,

We don't mind.

It isn't nice to carry banners

Or to sit in on the floor,

Or to shout our cry of Freedom

At the hotel and the store.

It isn't nice, it isn't nice,

You told us once, you told us twice,

But if that is Freedom's price,

We don't mind.

We have tried negotiations

And the three-man picket line,

Mr. Charlie didn't see us

And he might as well be blind.

Now our new ways aren't nice

When we deal with men of ice,

But if that is Freedom's price,

We don't mind.

How about those years of lynchings

And the shot in Evers' back?

Did you say it wasn't proper,

Did you stand out on the track?

You were quiet just like mice,

Now you say we aren't nice,

So if that is Freedom's price,

We don't mind.

It isn't nice to block the doorway,

It isn't nice to go to jail,

There are nicer ways to do it

But the nice ways always fail.

It isn't nice, it isn't nice,

Well thanks for your advice,

But if that is Freedom's price,

We don't mind, we don't mind!

An American Communist classical playlist: The Composers’ Collective on Spotify (www.peoplesworld.org)

Check it out:

When reading through Aaron J. Leonard’s book, The Folk Singers and the Bureau, I was delighted to discover the single mention of a curious 1930s musical outfit: the Composers’ Collective of New York.

The collective consisted of a group of left-wing composers in the U.S. who, to varying degrees, wished to use their music to help the working class. “Members” of the collective, a term used loosely here, seeing as membership was not necessarily official, included famous and less-famous composers like Aaron Copland, Hans Eisler (who co-wrote Composing for the Films with Theodor Adorno), Earl Robinson, Elie Siegmeister, and Marc Blitzstein.

Grappling with what it meant to create “proletarian music” in the age of conflicting modernist and popular trends, they also debated how directly composers should be involved with politics.

The playlist can be accessed here.

Cheers, everyone.

Along with the classical composition within the title...

I've listened to:

J.S. Bach - Motet BWV 227 "Jesu, meine Freude" (J.S. Bach Foundation)

[Nikolai Roslavets] Chamber Symphony No.2 (Score-Video)

Chaconne in A major by Giuseppe Antonio Brescianello (with Score)

Jurgen Ganzer: Passacaglia, for Accordion (1994)

Also, try to listen to at least one musical composition from here in this thread (or from the comments below)!

But yeah, this is what I've listened to in this morning thus far.

Enjoy!

(Classical music is good for background music, studying, and reading so give it a shot sometime.)
