Also, classic Marxism. Draw your own conclusions and parallels as you see fit.

Oh, didn't know if anyone else would see that:

Hi Sumana,

The interpretation could be better, the melody could be merrier, and still, I liked the lyrics. Thanks for sharing!

Seeing this I wonder if it would be possible for the WM movement to gain more presence, or better said, some presence in the cultural creation world. For instance, if sci-fi authors were given the task of imagining a wiki-world where free knowledge thrives... what would it look like? Or some criminal story, where edit wars go too far... :)

You may like this project that I would like to see included within Wikimedia official projects: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikikultur

Please show your support and add your signature if you are interested. I whish I was able to come to Wikimania to present it, but I failed at obtaining a scholarship for this event. Nevertheless some people interested in the project should be there, and I will try to help them as far as I can to present the project.

By the way, is there a license attached to this song, or is it bare copyright?

I loved the xkcd fundraising campaign and I hope that there are more PR actions that not only focus on fundraising, but also in nurturing directly the cultural presence. Is it happening? Would it be wanted?

Cheers, Micru

I came across this sentimental song about "a world of encouragement and productivity, in which everyone is encouraged to create, support and work toward ideals" and it reminded me of our shared mission, so I wanted to share it with you. -Sumana
