This world where the mighty trample the workers

0:00:07.500,0:00:11.067
and tell us this is the way it must be

0:00:11.067,0:00:12.393
will collapse

0:00:12.701,0:00:14.559
and a world of freedom will arise

0:00:14.559,0:00:19.367
where everyone will contribute to a better life

0:00:19.367,0:00:22.400
said August Spies when sentenced to death by the tribunal

0:00:22.400,0:00:28.117
charged for being the leader of May 1st 1886

0:00:57.702,0:00:58.329
By the second half of the XIXth century

0:00:58.329,0:01:00.651
the economy of Europe and the United States had been totally transformed

0:01:00.651,0:01:03.960
many workers that lived out of what they produced from the fields

0:01:03.960,0:01:08.708
now depend on salary

0:01:14.077,0:01:16.531
farmers, shoemakers, artisans

0:01:16.654,0:01:18.538
all of them are now operators

0:01:23.282,0:01:24.559

Precarious conditions, little money to eat, live, and return to work

0:01:32.000,0:01:35.067
They sold the strength of their arms too cheaply

0:01:35.067,0:01:38.300
Short afterwards, they discovered that such strength could be used

0:01:38.300,0:01:41.467
to defend themselves, their families and companions

0:01:41.467,0:01:43.398

0:01:43.398,0:01:46.463
new lines of action and thought appear

0:01:46.463,0:01:49.267

0:03:00.674,0:03:02.800
Fussiles and machine guns sounded highly

0:03:02.800,0:03:04.529

0:03:07.269,0:03:10.288

0:03:10.288,0:03:13.156
All of them workers from all genders

and 5 leaders from the worker's movement were arrested

0:03:19.761,0:03:21.480

0:03:21.480,0:03:24.836
the judgement would be annuled years after their death

0:03:25.067,0:03:26.733
the ideas, not since

0:03:26.733,0:03:28.700
they are not made from flesh nor bones

0:03:28.700,0:03:31.900
they defeat death and win the world

0:03:31.900,0:03:37.051
