Censorship: Channels of V.A.R.A. Removed
A new case of video platform repression was denounced by the musical project Voces Al Rojo Amaencer (Voices at the Red Dawn – V.A.R.A.) from the Spanish State. They recently published their song, “Nuestra arma roja es la más fuerte” (Our Red Weapon Is the Strongest), with Maoist content, showing images of Chairman Mao Tse-Tung and images from the ongoing People’s Wars, among other pictures.
Now V.A.R.A. has denounced that Youtube as well as Vimeo deleted their videos on four occasions. In a note published by Servir al Pueblo they state: “All our channels are removed with no right to appeal. The reason: not respecting the community rules and «promoting violence and criminal organizations». (…)
It is not surprising, because platforms such as Youtube and Vimeo are US imperialist monopolies and they don’t want us to spread our music supporting the struggles of the international proletariat and the peoples of the world. While Youtube attacks our revolutionary music, it allows and promotes reactionary channels with fascist and Zionist propaganda without punishment. This is not the end. We will continue to make our music and spread our songs.”
