I play music, and my friend wrote a little Socialist diatribe (purely for ironic purposes, of course) for an instrumental of mine. I thought it'd be better in Russian, so I used an online translator (ImTranslator.com). Here's the original text:

"That is when the world will know, that real socialism does not come from decadent red offices in the Kremlin, or palaces in Beijing. The real socialism will begin here, where the working class has had the most need for it for the longest time, when the union of the five cities of Dublin, Belfast, Cardiff, Edinburgh and London rise as the foundations of the Socialist British Empire!"

Here's what the translator came up with:

"Это - то, когда мир будет знать, что реальный социализм не прибывает из декадентских красных офисов в Кремле, или дворцах в Пекине. Реальный социализм начнется здесь, где рабочий класс имел большинство потребности в этом самое долгое время, когда союз этих пяти городов Дублинов, Белфаста, Кардиффа, Эдинбурга и Лондона поднимается как основы Социалиста Британская империя!"

How right is that? I have a pretty good idea of how to pronounce it, but I might have to record myself speaking it and post it here for someone to check. If that's alright. Smile

Thanks!

Когда мир узнает, что настоящий социализм не начинался с красных кабинетов Кремля и дворцов Пекина. Настоящий Социализм начнется здесь, где рабочий класс нуждался в нем на протяжение долгого времени, где союз пяти городов: Дублин, Белфаст, Кардиф, Эдинбург и Лондон восстанет как основа Социалистической Британской Империи.

I'm pretty sure it's from Communist Manifesto by Marx and Engels.
