Socialism is Good: Punk Rock Edition

A punk rock cover of the famous Chinese cultural revolution song.

Here are the lyrics translated into English:


Socialism is good, socialism is good!

In socialist nations, the people have high status.

Overthrow the reactionaries. Imperialism flees with its tail between its legs.

The entire nation is in great unity and has raised the socialist construction to a new height, to a new height.

The people protect the socialist system.

The popular capacity is solid, the resistance of click reactionaries is dedicated to failure.

The socialist society will definitely succeed, a communist society will definitely be achieved, will definitely be achieved!

The Communist Party is good! The Communist Party is good!

The Communist Party is a good leader for the people.

It holds its promises and works of any heart for the people.

Firmly anchored to the Communist Party, it is necessary to complete, complete the construction of our great fatherland!

The Communist Party is good! The Communist Party is good!

The Communist Party guides China on the way of the power.

The popular capacity is solid, the resistance of reactionary cliques is destined to fail.

The socialist society will definitely succeed, a communist society will definitely be achieved, will definitely be achieved!
