capitalist, class-struggle, combat-core. It’s out on Discos Machete, Dure Realite, Incendiario and Rebel Time Records bandcamp pages.
“Marxist Agitation” is available as a free / pay what you can download at both the Discos Machete and Rebel Time Records bandcamp pages.
Here’s the three tracks from the EP, set to footage from the film “The Battle of Chile,” a documentary film directed by Patricio Guzman. The film was released, in three parts: The Insurrection of the Bourgeoisie (1975), The Coup d’état (1976), Popular Power (1979).
About the film:
“Filmed in the months preceding the September 11 coup, it combines hundreds of on-the-street interviews with intimate footage from Chile’s political battlefields — street demonstrations, judicial proceedings, workers’ assemblies inside occupied factories, even fascist rallies where battalions of shock-troops strut in formation down public streets.
Guzmán’s documentary offers a rare glimpse at a revolutionary process in its 
most heightened period of crisis — dispossessed elites conspire to lay siege to the economy from within, emboldened workers seize factories and demand arms, and, throughout it all, the specter of a dissident military threatens the survival of one of history’s most promising socialist movements. It’s a harrowing story.
But the film’s greatest strength may be its portrayal of Chilean workers. In nearly every scene, workers show themselves to be a powerful and transformative force — the people who make history rather than the people to whom history happens. In The Battle for Chile, we witness ordinary people at their best, using the organizational resources at their disposal to collectively make sense of a disorienting and high-stakes reality — and ultimately confronting both business and state elites in an effort to establish a radically new kind of society.”
Track One: Manifiesto
SPANISH
Durante siglos hemos sido explotados
Somos los pobres, somos los proletarios
Nuestra existencia es producto
Del sistema capitalista
Con nuestras manos construimos la riqueza
Que se la apropian los dueños de las empresas
A nosotros solos nos dejan
Las migajas que nos quieren dar
Una clase, solo una trinchera
Revolucion de la clase obrera
Ahora estamos desorganizados
Sin unidad o en sindicatos blancos
Es hora de abrir los ojos
Y tomar los medios de producción
Organizados en una sola clase
Sin religiones ni miedo a sus dioses
Codo a codo los trabajadores
Construiremos un mundo mejor
FRENCH
Nous avons été exploités pendant des siècles
Nous sommes pauvres et prolétaires
Notre existence est le produit
Du système capitaliste
Nous construisons la richesse avec nos mains
Les propriétaires des entreprises nous la volent
Ils ne nous laissent que les miettes
qu’ils veulent bien nous donner
Une classe, une seule tranchée
Révolution de la classe ouvrière
Aujourd’hui nous sommes désorganisés
Sans unité ou dans des syndicats soc-dem
Il est temps s’ouvrir les yeux
Et de prendre les moyens de production
Organisés en une seule classe
Sans religions, ni peur de leurs dieux
Coudes serrés, les travailleurs
Nous construirons un monde meilleur
ENGLISH
We’ve been exploited for centuries
We are the poor and the proletariat
Our existence is a product
Of the capitalist system
We build wealth with our hands
While the business owners steal it
Leaving us only crumbs that they are happy to give us
One class, one trench
Working class revolution
We’re not organized today
Without unity or in social democratic unions
It is time that we open our eyes
And seize the means of production
Organized into a single class
Without religion, without fear of their gods
Arm in arm, workers
We will build a better world
Track Two: Consciencia De Clase
SPANISH
Encerrado en una fabrica
Trabajando sin descanso
Produciendo las ganancias
Para enriquecer al patron
DESPIERTA, COMBATE, CONCIENCIA DE CLASE
Diez horas en una cocina
Perdiendo toda mi vida
Laborando por un salario
Para poder sobrevivir
FRENCH
Enfermé dans une usine
Travaillant sans répit
Produisant des bénéfices
Pour enrichir le patron
RÉVEILLE-TOI, COMBATS
CONSCIENCE DE CLASSE
Dix heures dans une cuisine
Je perds toute ma vie
Je travaille pour un salaire
Pour pouvoir survivre
ENGLISH
Locked in a factory
Working tirelessly
Making money
To enrich the boss
WAKE UP! FIGHT!
CLASS CONSCIOUSNESS!
Ten hours in a kitchen
I lose my entire life
Working for a wage
Just to survive
