Against the Archduke
AUDIO TRANSCRIPT: And so Comrades, we are dragged into this. War. But not class war. Not a war to end exploitation. Not a just, revolutionary war, oh no. The Archduke, that disgusting, bourgeois-sympathysing, aristocratic pig has dragged us into a war against our comrades and brothers! Not content to opress the proletariat of Austria-Hungary, he now spreads his arms to reach for more innocent workers to deprive of what is rightfully theirs! He does not fight for equality, he fights for opression! He fights for exploitation! He fights for his own individualist, petty sense of glory! Some of our comrades have entreated you to refuse to take up arms against our Serbian and Albanian proletarian brothers, and they have urged you to maintain peaceful resistance to the pig-duke and his aristocratic and bourgeois oligarchical tyranny, but I tell you that this is not the time for peaceful resistance! This is a time for revolution! The our comrades in the rest of Europe are with us! The Dialectic is on our side! The dictatorship of the proletariat is within sight! To Arms! To insurrection! TO REVOLUTION!
