Well folks - its time to formalize our steady (yearly?) production of revolutionary Jultide songs, so lets call the growing collection "MarXist Xmas ClassiX". At the same time, let me introduce the latest installment: It's Beginning to Look like Revolution. I'm sure you can all guess what traditional song it is based on. Lyrics in the video + pasted below. Enjoy!

It's beginning to look like Revolution
It's beginning to look like Revolution
Ev'rywhere you go;
Theres a strike at the five and ten,
there’s picketers round the bend,
the bourgoisie are starting to lay low.

It's beginning to look like Revolution
borded windows on ev'ry store
But the prettiest sight to see
is the barricade that’ll be
on your own front door.

A full set of Marx and an end to monarchs
is the wish of Barney and Ben.
An end to all war and a book by Bouvoir
is the hope of Janice and Jen.
And Mom and Dad cant wait for class society to end.

It's beginning to look like Revolution.
Ev'rywhere you go.
There's a riot at the Hotel,
one in the park as well,
with sturdy folks although a bit gung ho.

It's beginning to look like Revolution.
Soon the bells will start.
And the thing that will make them ring
is the labor songs you sing
right within your heart.
