Author's Response:
I watched it just now, after almost half a year of not watching it and I think the message is clear.
The song mentions fascists attacking Soviet Union, clearly referring to the second World Wars, saying that an attack against Soviet Union is like an attack at the revolution itself, an attack against people and therefore everyone should come to defend it from fascist attacks.
I have build up on the song and I show more of a timeline, starting with the Russian Revolution and the Civil War, where USA, UK, Japan and France invaded Russia to defeat the socialist revolution, because they feared a revolution in their own countries as well and/or wanted to gain influence in that territory.
This is nothing new, afterall when the revolution in France happened, Germany, Russia and other countries attacked France because they wanted to prevent this young republic to expand their ideology, because that would mean monarchies would fall and give in to republics. Within a hundred years, most monarchies have already fallen.
My movie later shows how USSR is defending against the fascist invasion and in the end, as the song mentions, the whole world will unite to become a socialist republic (and since there is only one country, there will be no wars) and a new era of humanity begins.
A person cannot be a capitalist unless he believes that exploiting people for profit is an acceptable thing which can be done.
The very definition of a successful capitalist is to make the biggest profit with the least input, in other words: The more you exploit other people, the more you are a successful capitalist.
