Songs of the Struggle

Michael | 28.11.2013 16:33 | Culture | Social Struggles

A growing collection of songs about poverty, wealth and desperation, about the class-system, exploitation, capitalism and greed. Songs about freedom and liberation and hope. Songs about rebellion and revolution. Songs about oppression and solidarity. Anti-war songs, anti-money songs - looking forward to a world free from injustice.
