Socialism is not meant to be a permanent govt, its the transition phase when a govt goes from capitalist to communist.

He says Narcicist actually not communists.

[newrad32]

communists are just more radical socialists. When the hole commi/socialist thign started, commi's did want a formal "government". They wanted the people to run it, where as socialists believed there shoudl be more of a formal "centralized government" But they both had/ have the same goals.

[Arrghhville]

[ErgoArgo]

Lars Frederiksen do a fucking amazing job with this song, but the original is always better. Gotta love Billy!

[meamfreakystyley]

i prefer lars and the bastards version of braggs song but this is still fucking amazing

[crwbano]

@meamfreakystyley Oh come off it...he removes "the system has failed you, dont fail yourself" which speaks to us all with positivity and replaces it with some self referential bilge about going to California. If punk was about your own people speaking to you on your level then Bragg is punk...Fredrickson is just a clothes horse going through the motions...You can just see Frederikson playing a support the troops gig
