Proletarian internationalism , sometimes referred to as international socialism , is the perception of all proletarian revolutions as being part of a single global class struggle rather than separate localized events.

The concepts of mashiach , messianism , and of a Messianic Age originated in Judaism , and in the Hebrew Bible , in which a mashiach is a king or High Priest traditionally anointed with holy anointing oil . In Judaism, Ha-mashiach ( המשיח , 'the Messiah';), often referred to as melekh ha-mashiach ( מלך המשיח , 'King Messiah'),

In each of the four New Testament Gospels , the only literal anointing of Jesus is conducted by a woman. In the Gospels of Mark , Matthew , and John , this anointing occurs in Bethany , outside Jerusalem. In the Gospel of Luke , the anointing scene takes place at an indeterminate location, but the context suggests it to be in Galilee, or even

#17327798069561824-613: A famous Muslim jurist of the Fatimid period , the Quran identifies Jesus as the messiah because he was sent to the people who responded to him in order to remove ( masaha ) their impurities, the ailments of their faith, whether apparent ( zāhir ) or hidden ( bātin ).

Maimonides describes the identity of the Messiah in the following terms: And if a king shall arise from among the House of David, studying Torah and occupied with commandments like his father David, according to the written and oral Torah, and he will impel all of Israel to follow it and to strengthen breaches in its observance, and will fight God's wars, this one

The Messiah replied, "Scripture says, 'Today, if you will but hearken to his voice. ' " A Kabbalistic tradition within Judaism

Wars, therefore, are part of

This is because prophecy in human form does not represent the true powers of God, contrary to the popular depiction of Jesus in Christianity.

According to religious scholar Mona Siddiqui , in Islam, "[p]rophecy allows God to remain veiled and there
2736-584: A radio programme entitled National Anthems , the BBC discontinued the programme. Six months later, on 22 January 1942, Churchill relented and lifted the prohibition.

3648-476: A threat to the ruling class order. Marxists would also point out that in times of intense revolutionary struggle (the most evident being the revolutionary periods of 1848 , 1917–1923 , and 1968 ) internationalism within the proletariat can overtake petty nationalisms as intense class struggles break out in multiple nations at the same time and the workers of those nations discover that they have more in common with other workers than with their own bourgeoisie. On
3800-427: A united resolve (Zephaniah 3:9)." Even though the eventual coming of the messiah is a strongly upheld belief in Judaism, trying to predict the actual time when the messiah will come is an act that is frowned upon. These kinds of actions are thought to weaken the faith the people have in the religion. So in Judaism, there is no specific time when the messiah comes. Rather, it is the acts of the people that determines when

10184-440: The annunciation of the world to come . The Greek translation of Messiah is Khristós ( Χριστός ), anglicized as Christ . It occurs 41 times in the Septuagint and 529 times in the New Testament . Christians commonly refer to Jesus of Nazareth as either the "Christ" or the "Messiah", believing that some messianic prophecies were fulfilled in the mission , death , and resurrection of Jesus and that he will return in
10336-462: The anthem. In 2002, Kuznar notes that the nature of these translations has varied widely. Many have been closely literal translations with variations solely to account for rhyme and meter but others have been done to encode different ideology perspectives and or to update contents to adapt the lyrics to relevant more contemporary issues. The first English version has been attributed to the author Eugène Pottier himself, produced apparently after he fled
10488-403: The battleground against imperialism encompasses the entire world...the enemy is one and the same, the same one who attacks our shores and our territory, the same one who attacks everyone else. And so we say and proclaim that the revolutionary movement in every corner of the world can count on Cuban combat fighters". By the mid-1980s, it was estimated that up to a quarter of Cuba's national military
10640-418: The blind tool of imperialism in subjugating the Arab masses". Trotskyists argue that there must be a permanent revolution in Third World countries in which a bourgeoisie revolution will inevitably lead to a worker's revolution with an international scope. This can be seen in the October Revolution before the movement was stopped by Stalin, a proponent of socialism in one country . Because of this threat,
10792-467: The bourgeoisie in Third World countries will willingly subjugate themselves to national and capitalist interests in order to prevent a proletarian uprising. In a 1936 interview with journalist Roy W. Howard , Stalin articulated his rejection of world revolution and stated that "We never had such plans and intentions" and that "The export of revolution is nonsense". Internationalists would respond that capitalism has proved itself incapable of resolving
10944-821: The cause of world revolution. Cuba frequently dispatched internationalist military missions abroad to defend communist interests in Africa and the Caribbean. Proponents of proletarian internationalism often argued that the objectives of a given revolution should be global rather than local in scope—for example, triggering or perpetuating revolutions elsewhere. Proletarian internationalism is closely linked to goals of world revolution , to be achieved through successive or simultaneous communist revolutions in all nations. According to Marxist theory , successful proletarian internationalism should lead to world communism and eventually stateless communism . Proletarian internationalism
11096-508: The celebrated song into Bengali. While it maintains the essential theme of the original (via the English version), Nazrul inserted salient social issues into it within the Indian context.

This version, along with
11400-421: The character Olga Boclova (based upon Ludmilla Pavlichenko ) to their town by singing "The Internationale".

Nikolai Evreinov 's 1920 The Storming of
11552-600: The choir by Gustave Delory the future mayor of Lille, who had received the text from a young socialist teacher, Charles Gros .

11704-728: The choir of the Royal Choral Society , the BBC Symphony Orchestra , the London Philharmonic Orchestra , and military bands, in front of the flag of the Soviet Union and following a speech by Anthony Eden.

12160-474: The competing claims of different nationalisms and that the working class (of all countries) is oppressed by capitalism, not by other workers. Moreover, the global nature of capitalism and international finance make " national liberation " an impossibility. For internationalists, all national liberation movements, whatever their " progressive " gloss, are therefore obstacles to the communist goal of world revolution. Messiah In Abrahamic religions ,
12312-421: The conditions for unity between the workers in both oppressing and oppressed nations. Specifically, Lenin claimed: "The bourgeois nationalism of any oppressed nation has a general democratic content that is directed against oppression and it is this content that we unconditionally support". By contrast, Luxemburg broke with the mainstream Polish Socialist Party in 1893 on the national question. She argued that
12464-955: The conflict; and on the other side Leninists and their allies who formed the new communist parties that were organised into the Third International , which was established in March 1919. During the Russian Civil War , Lenin and Leon Trotsky more firmly embraced the concept of national self-determination for tactical reasons. In the Third International, the national question became a major bone of contention between mainstream Marxist-Leninists and " left communists ". Trotsky's biographer, Isaac Deutscher , has explicitly contrasted his support for proletarian internationalism against his opposition to revolution by military conquest as seen with his documented opposition to
12616-557: The countries involved, supported by the coordinating activity of the International Socialist Bureau, to exert every effort in order to prevent the outbreak of war by the means they consider most effective, which naturally vary according to the sharpening of the class struggle and the sharpening of the general political situation. In case war should break out anyway, it is their duty to intervene in favor of its speedy termination and with all their powers to utilize
12768-479: The creation of large-scale economic units, the weighting of approval and disapproval in accordance with revolutionary possibilities, and their specific enmity to Russia".

The trade unionists who formed the International Workingmen's Association (IWA), sometimes called the First International , recognised that the working class
12920-615: The curse, All the world's starving and enslaved! Our outraged minds are boiling, Ready to lead us into a deadly fight. We will destroy this world of violence Down to the foundations, and then We will build our new world. He who was nothing will become everything! Chorus: 𝄆 This is our final and decisive battle; With the Internationale humanity will rise up! 𝄇 No one will grant us deliverance, Not god, nor tsar, nor hero. We will win our liberation, With our very own hands. To throw down oppression with
13072-467: The death of Jesus. Religious scholar Mahmoud Ayoub argues "Modern Shi'i thinkers have allowed the possibility that Jesus died and only his spirit was taken up to heaven." Conversely, Siddiqui argues that Shi'i thinkers believe Jesus was "neither crucified nor slain." She also argues that Shi'i Muslims believe that the twelfth imam did not die, but "was taken to God to return in God's time," and "will return at
13224-494: The decades as politics in China have changed, such as (for one example) Chen Yun 's use in the 1960s to justify a new agricultural land allocation policy. It has maintained its status as a de facto CCP anthem, and its continued relevance over the decades can be seen in its inclusion in all three of the 1964 The East Is Red , the 1984 The Song of the Chinese Revolution , and the 2009 The Road to Prosperity . While
13376-534: The deceased Menachem Mendel Schneerson, a later Chabad Halachic ruling claims that it was "incumbent on every single Jew to heed the Rebbe's words and believe that he is indeed King Moshiach , who will be revealed imminently ". Outside of Chabad messianism, in Judaism, there is no basis to these claims. If anything, this resembles the faith in the resurrection of Jesus and his second coming in early Christianity , and therefore, heretical in Judaism . Still today,
13528-525: The deceased rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson is believed to be the Messiah among adherents of the Chabad movement, and his second coming is believed to be imminent. He is venerated and invocated to by thousands of visitors and letters each year at the ( Ohel ), especially in a pilgrimage each year on the anniversary of his death. Originating from the concept in Judaism, the messiah in Christianity
13680-622: The early 1960s, this thinking was considered obsolete as most of the "people's democracies" had established cohesive postwar communist states. Communist ideologues believed that proletarian internationalism was no longer accurate to describe Soviet relations with the newly emerging Eastern European communist bloc , so a new term was coined, namely socialist internationalism. According to Soviet internationalist theory under Nikita Khrushchev , proletarian internationalism could only be evoked to describe solidarity between international peoples and parties, not governments. Inter-state relationships fell into
13832-524: The earth Arise, convicts of hunger Reason thunders in its volcano This is the eruption of the end Of the past let us wipe the slate clean Slave masses, arise, arise The world is about to change its foundation We are nothing, let us be everything Chorus: 𝄆 This is the final struggle Let us gather together, and tomorrow The Internationale Will be the human race. 𝄇 There are no supreme saviors Neither God , nor Caesar , nor tribune . Producers, let us save ourselves Decree on
13984-510: The economic and political crisis created by the war to rouse the masses and thereby to hasten the downfall of capitalist class rule.

Lenin and the Bolsheviks opposed imperialism and chauvinism by advocating a policy of national self-determination , including the right of oppressed nations to secede from Russia. They believed this would help to create
14136-410: The end of history to establish the kingdom of God on earth as the expected Mahdi." In the theology of Ahmadiyya , the terms Messiah and Mahdi are synonymous terms for one and the same person.

According to Ahmadi thought, Messiahship is a phenomenon through which a special emphasis

14440-938: The falsehood embodied in al-Masih ad-Dajjal (the false Messiah), the great falsifier, a figure similar to the Antichrist in Christianity, who will emerge shortly before Yawm al-Qiyāmah ('the Day of Resurrection'). After he has destroyed ad-Dajjal, his final task will be to become leader of the Muslims. Isa will unify the Muslim Ummah (the followers of Islam) under the common purpose of worshipping God alone in pure Islam, thereby ending divisions and deviations by adherents. Mainstream Muslims believe that at that time, Isa will dispel Christian and Jewish claims about him. A hadith in Abu Dawud says: The Prophet said: There

14744-526: The founder of Sikhism was a Muslim saint, who was a reflection of the religious challenges he perceived to be occurring. Ghulam Ahmad wrote Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya , in 1880, which incorporated Indian, Sufi, Islamic and Western aspects in order to give life to Islam in the face of the British Raj , Protestant Christianity, and rising Hinduism. He later declared himself the Promised Messiah and
14896-504: The fraternal parties with strict observance of the equality and independence of each". Under Brezhnev, the Soviet and Warsaw Pact governments frequently evoked proletarian internationalism to fund leftist trade unions and guerrilla insurgencies around the globe. Foreign military interventions could also be justified as "internationalist duty" to defend or support other communist states during wartime. With Soviet financial or military backing,

15200-773: The government's agenda, especially after the ascension of Joseph Stalin . Despite this, the Soviet Union continued to foster international ties with communist and left-wing parties and governments around the world. It played a fundamental role in the establishment of several socialist states in Eastern Europe after World War II and backed the creation of others in Asia, Latin America, and Africa. The Soviets also funded dozens of insurgencies being waged against colonialist governments by leftist guerrilla movements worldwide. A few other states later exercised their own commitments to

Chorus Only we, the workers of the worldwide Great army of labor, Have the right to own the land, But the parasites — never! And if the great thunder rolls Over
15504-558: The identity of this imam. There are sources that underscore how the Shia sect agrees with the Jews and Christians that Imam Mehdi ( al-Mahdi ) is another name for Elijah, whose return prior to the arrival of the Messiah was prophesied in the Old Testament. The Imams and Fatima will have a direct impact on the judgements rendered that day, representing the ultimate intercession . There is debate on whether Shi'i Muslims should accept
15656-415: The language emerged as a lingua franca among brown and black enslaved people in the 17th-century Cape of Good Hope. Afrikaans combined Dutch with Malay, Portuguese, and indigenous KhoeSan; its common label "kitchen Dutch" highlights the transmission of the language from domestic servants, enslaved and otherwise, to Dutch children and their mothers who had little formal education in the territory controlled by
15808-417: The last Imam will return again, with the return of Jesus. According to religious scholar Mona Siddiqui , "Shi'is are acutely aware of the existence everywhere of the twelfth Imam, who disappeared in 874." Shi'i piety teaches that the hidden Imam will return with Jesus Christ to set up the messianic kingdom before the final Judgement Day, when all humanity will stand before God. There is some controversy as to
15960-521: The meaning is different from that found in Christianity and Judaism : Though Islam shares many of the beliefs and characteristics of the two Semitic/Abrahamic/monotheistic religions which preceded it, the idea of messianism, which is of central importance in Judaism and Christianity, is alien to Islam as represented by the Qur'an. Unlike the Christian view of the Death of Jesus , Muslims believe Jesus
16112-404: The messiah comes. It is said that the messiah would come either when the world needs his coming the most (when the world is so sinful and in desperate need of saving by the messiah) or deserves it the most (when genuine goodness prevails in the world). A common modern rabbinic interpretation is that there is a potential messiah in every generation. The Talmud , which often uses stories to make
16264-683: The mine and rail Have they ever done anything other Than steal work? Into the coffers of that lot, What work creates has melted In demanding that they give it back The people wants only its due. Chorus The kings intoxicate us with gunsmoke, Peace among ourselves, war to the tyrants! Let the armies go on strike, Guns in the air, and break ranks If these cannibals insist In making heroes of us, Soon they will know our bullets Are for our own generals Chorus Laborers, peasants, we are The great party of workers The earth belongs only to men The idle will go reside elsewhere How much of our flesh they feed on, But if
16416-476: The movie would see the significance of Arturo being willing to play these anthems and unwilling to play Giovinezza and the Marcia Reale because of his anti-Fascist political views. Alexandr Hackenschmied , the film's director, expressed his view that the song was "ormai archeologico" (nearly archaeological), but this was a countered in a letter by Walter Toscanini to Giuseppe Antonio Borgese , rejecting
16568-730: The movie. A similar situation had occurred earlier in the war with the BBC 's popular weekly Sunday evening radio broadcast, preceding the Nine O'Clock News, titled National Anthems of the Allies , whose playlist was all of the national anthems of the countries allied with the United Kingdom, the list growing with each country that Germany invaded. After the Germans began their invasion of the Soviet Union on 22 June 1941 ( Operation Barbarossa ), it
16720-475: The music was still copyrighted in France until October 2014. The "Internationale" is now also in the public domain within France. As Eugène Pottier passed away in 1887, his original French lyrics are in the public domain. Gustave Delory once acquired the copyright of his lyrics through the songwriter Jean-Baptiste Clement having bought it from Pottier's widow. There have been a very wide variety of translations of
16872-652: The nature of Russia had changed since Marx's day as Russia was now fast developing as a major capitalist nation while the Polish bourgeoisie now had its interests linked to Russian capitalism. This had opened the possibility of a class alliance between the Polish and Russian working class. The leading party of the Second International, the Social Democratic Party of Germany , voted overwhelmingly in support of Germany's entry into World War I by approving war credits on 4 August 1914. Many other member parties of
17024-466: The naval ports of Kiel and Wilhelmshaven that brought the war to an end in November 1918. However, once this revolutionary wave had receded in the early 1920s, proletarian internationalism was no longer mainstream in working class politics. Defunct Following World War I, the international socialist movement was irreconcilably split into two hostile factions: on the one side, the social democrats, who broadly supported their national governments during
17176-559: The objections of Borgese, Hackenschmied, and indeed the Office of War Information . At the time, Walter stated that he believed that "The Internationale" had widespread relevance across Europe, and in 1966 he recounted in correspondence that the OWI had "panicked" when it had learned of the Soviet Union's plans, but Arturo had issued an ultimatum that if "The Internationale", "l'inno di tutte le glebe ed i lavoratori di tutto il mondo" (the anthem of
17328-510: The organ in his cousin's home in Beijing, publishing them in New Youth , a journal of which he was the editor-in-chief. This has become part of the cultural narrative of Qu's life, including in a 2001 television dramatisation of events, The Sun Rises from the East , where Qu is depicted as explaining to Cai Hesen that the former did not translate the song's title because he wished to make
17480-739: The other, will appear with their hosts before Jerusalem, wage war against Messiah ben Joseph, and slay him. His corpse, according to one group, will lie unburied in the streets of Jerusalem; according to the other, it will be hidden by the angels with the bodies of the Patriarchs, until Messiah ben David comes and brings him back to life. Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn (r. 1920–1950), sixth Rebbe (hereditary chassidic leader) of Chabad Lubavitch, and Menachem Mendel Schneerson (1902–1994), seventh Rebbe of Chabad, are messiah claimants . As per Chabad-Lubavitch messianism , Menachem Mendel Schneerson openly declared his deceased father-in-law,
17632-505: The pack of dogs and executioners, For us, the sun will forever Shine on with its fiery beams. Chorus The change of the Soviet Union's national anthem from "The Internationale" to the "State Anthem of the USSR" was a factor in the production of the 1944 movie Hymn of the Nations , which made use of an orchestration of "The Internationale" that Arturo Toscanini had already done
17784-488: The poor are more national than the rich". To this, Marxists might counter that while the rich may have historically had the awareness and education to recognize cross-national interest of class, the poor of those same nations likely have not had this advantage, making them more susceptible to what Marxists would describe as the false ideology of patriotism . Marxists assert that patriotism and nationalism serve precisely to obscure opposing class interests that would otherwise pose
17936-413: The possibility of proletarian revolution. For instance, Marx and Engels supported the emergence of an independent and democratic Poland, which at the time was divided between Germany, Russia and Austria-Hungary. Rosa Luxemburg's biographer Peter Nettl writes: "In general, Marx and Engels' conception of the national-geographical rearrangement of Europe was based on four criteria: the development of progress,
18088-411: The possibility of solidarity between Palestinians and Israelis in the current Middle East situation, writing that "Israel is not a colony suppressed by imperialism, but a settler’s citadel, a launching pad of imperialism. It is a tragedy that some of the very people who had been persecuted and massacred in such bestial fashion should themselves be driven into a chauvinistic, militaristic fervour, and become
18240-425: The power to the people of labour! And away with all the parasites! Chorus Contemptible you are in your wealth, You kings of coal and steel! You had your thrones, parasites, At our backs erected. All the factories, all the chambers — All were made by our hands. It's time! We demand the return Of that which was stolen from us. Chorus Enough of the will of kings Stupefying us into
18392-516: The question of imperialism and national determination, proponents of Third-Worldism argue that workers in "oppressor" nations (such as the United States or Israel) must first support national liberation movements in "oppressed" nations (such as Afghanistan or Palestine) before there can be any basis for proletarian internationalism. For example, Tony Cliff , a leading figure of the British Socialist Workers Party , denied
18544-541: The ravens and vultures Disappear one of these days The sun will shine always Chorus In a successful attempt to save Pierre De Geyter's job as a woodcarver, the 6,000 leaflets printed by Lille printer Boldoduc only mentioned the French version of his family name (Degeyter). The second edition published by Delory named Pierre's brother Adolphe as the composer. With neither money nor representation, Pierre De Geyter lost his first lawsuit over this in 1914 and did not gain legal recognition of authorship until 1922 when he
18696-559: The rebel poet Kazi Nazrul Islam . Nazrul, who was greatly inspired by the tenets of Socialism and its relevance to India under British colonial occupation, authored numerous poems in Bengali highlighting socio-political issues, including gender and economic inequities, and social justice overall.

The Russian Internationale has been translated into many indigenous languages of Russia, namely Tatar , Bashkir , Chuvash , Chukchi , Udmurt , and Yakut . Вставай, проклятьем заклеймённый, Весь мир голодных и рабов! Кипит наш разум возмущённый И в смертный бой вести готов. Весь мир насилья мы разрушим До основанья, а затем Мы наш, мы новый мир построим, – Кто был ничем, тот станет всем. Припев: 𝄆 Это есть наш последний И решительный бой; С Интернационалом Воспрянет род людской! 𝄇 Никто не даст нам избавленья: Ни бог, ни царь и не герой! Добьёмся мы освобожденья Своею собственной рукой. Чтоб свергнуть гнёт рукой умелой, Отвоевать своё добро, – Вздувайте горн и куйте смело, Пока железо горячо! Припев Довольно кровь сосать, вампиры, Тюрьмой, налогом, нищетой! У вас – вся власть, все блага мира, А наше право – звук пустой ! Мы жизнь построим по-иному – И вот наш лозунг боевой: Вся власть народу трудовому! А дармоедов всех долой! Припев Презренны вы в своём богатстве, Угля и стали короли! Вы ваши троны, тунеядцы, На наших спинах возвели. Заводы, фабрики, палаты – Всё нашим создано трудом. Пора! Мы требуем возврата Того, что взято грабежом. Припев Довольно королям в угоду Дурманить нас в чаду войны! Война тиранам! Мир Народу! Бастуйте, армии сыны! Когда ж тираны нас заставят В бою геройски пасть за них – Убийцы, в вас тогда направим Мы жерла пушек боевых! Припев Лишь мы, работники всемирной Великой армии труда, Владеть землёй имеем право, Но паразиты – никогда! И если гром великий грянет Над сворой псов и палачей, – Для нас всё так же солнце станет Сиять огнём своих лучей. Припев Vstavaj prokljatjem zaklejmjonnyj, Vesj mir golodnyh i rabov! Kipit naš razum vozmuščjonnyj I v smertnyj boj vesti gotov. Vesj mir nasilia my razrušim Do osnovania,
19000-465: The rest of the prophecies—that he will usher in a Messianic Age and the world to come —will be fulfilled at his Second Coming .

The majority of historical and mainline Christian theologies consider Jesus to be the Son of God and God the Son ,
19152-525: The son of the protagonist (in chorus with his fellow prisoners) also sings "The Internationale" on the way to his execution. It would become a leitmotif of Chinese Revolutionary (model) cinema. Political memoirs of Li Dazhao 's daughter Li Xinghua recount his explaining the lyrics of the song to her, he having encountered it on his travels with Qu in 1923 and during his visit to Moscow the following year. He also encouraged people to sing it during socialist activism training sessions in 1925 and 1926. As with Qu,
19304-453: The song forms part of the cultural narrative of his life, it being the widely accepted account of his execution in 1927 that he sang the song in the last moments of his life. As with Qu and Li, the song is found in many places in political histories of CCP leaders and martyrs to its cause, symbolising their socialist ideals, including Zhu De , Zhou Enlai , and Deng Xiaoping .

19456-416: The song has a wide influence as an adjunct of official ideology, it has also been used in counter-cultural movements, such as the demonstrators in the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests singing it during their final retreat.

Debout, les damnés de la terre Debout, les forçats de la faim La raison tonne en son cratère C'est l'éruption de la fin Du passé faisons table rase Foule esclave, debout, debout Le monde va changer de base Nous ne sommes rien, soyons tout Refrain : 𝄆 C'est la lutte finale Groupons-nous, et demain L'Internationale Sera le genre humain. 𝄇 Il n'est pas de sauveurs suprêmes Ni Dieu, ni César, ni tribun Producteurs, sauvons-nous nous-mêmes Décrétons le salut commun Pour que le voleur rende gorge Pour tirer l'esprit du cachot Soufflons nous-mêmes notre forge Battons le fer quand il est chaud. Refrain L'État opprime et la loi triche L'impôt saigne le malheureux Nul devoir ne s'impose au riche Le droit du pauvre est un mot creux C'est assez, languir en tutelle L'égalité veut d'autres lois Pas de droits sans devoirs dit-elle Égaux, pas de devoirs sans droits.

20064-490: The war at the Zimmerwald Conference , but the majority of delegates took a pacifist rather than a revolutionary position.
