3.) - A las Barricadas ("National" Anthem of the CNT-FAI)
4.) - Yìyǒngjūn Jìnxíngqǔ (National Anthem of the People's Republic of China)

5. E Mare Libertas
4. Molossia, Nation in the Desert
3. Auferstanden aus Ruinen
2. Imperial March
1. All Hail Britannia

Or something along those lines.

Anyways...

1. A Las Barricadas
2. Russian/Soviet anthem
3. Ha Tikvah
4. Horst-Wessel Lied
5. Kenyan anthem.

Out of those, A Las Barricadas is the only one I can agree with politically at all.

You might like the original words to Horst Wessel Lied, when it was a cabaret song:
Wie deine Aug'
Hat meine Aug' betroffen!
Und wie mein Mund
Hat deinen Mund gekuesst...
Life is a tragedy to those who feel, a comedy to those who think, and a musical to those who sing.

I am the very model of a Nation States General,
I am a holy terror to apologists Confederal,
When called upon to source a line, I give citations textual,
And argue about Palestine, and marriage homosexual!

I quite like Ode to Joy.

Anyway, the anthems I salute are:

Marcha Real
Jana Gana Mana
Ode to Joy
Proud Indian. Spanish citizen. European federalist.

Awarded the Bronze Medal for General Debating at the 11th Annual Posters' Awards. Awarded Best New Poster at the 11th Annual Posters' Awards.
It is almost universally felt that when we call a country democratic we are praising it; consequently, the defenders of every kind of regime claim that it is a democracy, and fear that they might have to stop using the word if it were tied down to any one meaning.

· Private property
· Free foreign trade
· Exchange of goods and services
· Free formation of prices

· Market regulation
· Social security
· Universal healthcare
· Unemployment insurance

This is a capitalist model.
