\begin{verse}
My country’s red, long so I was told \\{}
Victories, a star glows \\{}
Flag crimson, glorious so \\{}
Vanguard leads, the people follow.
\end{verse}
\begin{verse}
Red in sight, we have traded lives \\{}
Beat armies, lay siege to empires. \\{}
Red in mind, we have triumphed fights \\{}
Bathed rivals in blood and plight.
\end{verse}
\begin{verse}
Why today I see but grey \\{}
Of skyscrapers in fatal haze \\{}
Of nostalgia from olden days \\{}
Of people’s groveling for a pay.
\end{verse}
\begin{verse}
Red, they lie, whilst we sell and buy \\{}
Whilst at sea our people die. \\{}
Set vanguard on fire, compatriot mine \\{}
So from black, a rainbow shall rise.
\end{verse}
\hairline
\emph{Ngu Thi Yen is a Vietnamese translator and writer working to make anarchist theory more accessible to Vietnamese speakers. He writes to illustrate “the state capitalist reality in Vietnam with a call to action to build a true libertarian society.}
\emph{“There is a lack of anarchist voices from Vietnam due to state repression and inaccessibility to primary sources. The most prominent Vietnamese voices in both leftist and anarchist spaces are, alarmingly, pro-authoritarian and state-friendly.}
\emph{“As fellow South East Asian anarchists, libertarian communists and principled workers, it is our duty to call out the Vietnamese state’s for-profit, authoritarian capitalist nature and callous disregard for the workers’ lives.”}
