Dave Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 Since it is May Day, let's discuss the contributions that the USSR made to Armenia! For starters, the genocide-ravaged province of Erevan transformed into the organized and industrious Soviet Socialist Republic of Armenia.

Arpa Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 (edited) I don't care what anyone says. Everytime I hear that Trumpet crescendo finale of "Փառք քեզ..." I get goose bumps.. And compare that to that mickey mouse so called anthem of Mer Hayreniq. I mean mickey mouse because it is. Join me and sing; ta ta ta, ta ta ta ta, ta ta ta ta, ta ta ta ta. Tsapik taspik tsirani will be even a better anthem. Edited May 2, 2007 by Arpa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 (edited) Yeah, maybe it sounds nice, but I wouldn't dare singing it.. People with normal voice wouldn't be able to. Edited May 2, 2007 by Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arpa Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 Yeah, maybe it sounds nice, but I wouldn't dare singing it.. People with normal voice wouldn't be able to. Are we talking about the same song? We're not talking about Hayastan Erkir Drakhtavayr. Anybody and everybody can sing that Khachaturian tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vayri7X Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Good lord, May Day wasn't even started by Communists@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!=it was started by anarchists ; libertarian socialists, anti-authoritarian socialists, - you know, ppl who said " It's not my revolution if I can't dance to it" ( Emma Goldman). See Haymarket Square, Chicago, Lucy Parsons-=the folks who brought you the 8-hour work day-this 8-hour work day movment reached a peak in HayMarket Square in Chicago. Not a bunch of Stalinists ( who also sold out the attempt to cut off fascism in the head during the Spanish Civil War , betrayed tons o people!_ . On the sell-out in vivid form, see Ken Loach's movie "Land and Liberty " or Orwell's Homeage to Catalonia, or read on the "Durutti COlumn" in Spain. Or th eCNT-FAI. Again-"state capitalists" -i.e., authoritarian, state-centered top-down oligarchy, sold out the anarchosyndicalists time and time again (after Russian revolution , which they liquidated in Korndstadt uprising and elsewhere, b/c, well, being an anarchist means libertarian socialist and also one is critical of authoritarian top-down structures, prefers a bottom-up approach-like the asembalistas in Argentina recently- and may not even wish to seize state-power to become the new "mukktar" in town. And before all that- May Day was ........PAGAN! See, Beltane/Bealtian ( re: May Poles Dancing, Rausing the May Pole, temporary May Marriages, union of Female and Male elements) , Walpurgis NAcht (Apr. 30th et al in germnay) plus a million other fertility festivals all over Europe and parts of Southwest Asia. Which is why for some old-school Armenians from various communities, St. George's Day (May 6) is still a big deal. Okay, well, I am guessing .....................on that who knows?;-) Then again, I can very well see why some Stalinist #% with a fixation on his "power-over" ppl may very well choose May Day to co-op and run his military tanks all over he place. I mean ,if those folks got issues, they should just get their own May Pole raising on and leave everyone else the heck outta it. Duraks.

Vayri7X Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Oh, and BTW, much <3 to the real reds who did their deeds honorably. And any people who helped Hayastdan really prosper. Can't paint all of you w/ the same brush, ya know. Nuance in understanding is key to actual liberation IMNSHO, as is respect for differences-we should just learn from our history is what I am saying.
