  • Fuck them let them fend for themselves NO Fuck u they r u

  • There is a big difference between socialism and communism, shit read a book.

  • Comment removed

  • m a white middle class male and something must be done not because their richer but because the power they hold over us, america was set up as a republic for anyone who thinks we live in a democracy but fearing becoming a communist society is nothing to fear, what we should fear is being controlled by a society we live in and thats what is happening and its not like we dont know that were being treated unfairly its that we wont do anything to stand up for ourselfs and until we do fuck a future

  • @freshmanwithgotee If you're so smart you will know once democracy is started it will eventually transform into communism. It's called the arrow of time. I agree there is a need for a class system but the gap needs to be massively closed.

  • This is why we can't have nice things. Lower class citizens should not be this educated. Oh well we'll just tell them that the money we make will trickle down. There will always be peasants and lords.

    You want classes to melt away, you want communism? a classless society where the individual has as much freedom as a child. That's what you'll get.

  • Powerful, & informative

  • QUE VIVA LA REVOLUCION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Kurdistan<3

  • More like a speach then a rap, but still awesome

  • last line, amazing.

  • Are you rapping or just telling a bedtime story with cheap sound effect?

  • @Nherwyziant

    This isn't a rap. These are his ideals. The beat was added by someone else later. But you don't seem to be able to understand it. Sad really.

  • Everyone needs to fucking spread this shit.

  • you know everytime it gets to the part where he talks about being materialistic it makes me think about the big rush for air jordan retro 11s cuz most of the people who were in the stores to get them have food stamps

  • KURDISTAN FOR EVER <3

  • "As a simple rule of thumb, just imagine every time you’re telling a good vs. evil story, you’re basically lowering your IQ by ten points or more. If you just adopt that as a kind of inner mental habit, it’s, in my view, one way to get a lot smarter pretty quickly. You don’t have to read any books. Just imagine yourself pressing a button every time you tell the good vs. evil story, and by pressing that button you’re lowering your IQ by ten points or more."

    - Tyler Cowen

  • @albertlingbr

    Your point?

  • Fuck the system, the ignorance need to be broken. I feel like I'm the only person I know who is really tuned into how awful the American government really is. Even "radical" groups that have caught the eye of the media ,such as Occupy Wall Street, don't address the biggest problems(Though there cause is noble). Break the ignorance.

  • absolutely amazing, this guy is such a "real" rapper as people would say. never heard so much truth in one song!

  • Well said, well said.

  • respect to conscious lyrics - only the truth will set us free - agree?

  • He's so funny, I suppose a 3rd world education does this to you.

  • @MarshalMcNally Lmao he's one of the smartest men in the world.

  • 30 people need to die cause they dislike this

  • Wtf ? I thought the revolution wuz a bad thing cuz fidel ses that and i look at him as a bad man or just a devil who messt up cuba . Some 1 plz explain the revolution hes talkin bout ? Thank u

  • @CARLOSx305 Whether a revolution is good or bad depends on what people are fighting for. Not every revolution is wrong, or has a bad turn out. The revolution Tech is talking about is one in which the people wake up and realize how major media channels like MSNBC, CNN, and FoxNews tell lies to people all the time, and how the government and major corporations are actually a lot more corrupt than most people realize.

  • You misspelled Colombia. But I love this speech.

  • We are all fucked by the gov..

  • mis respetos para ti Immortal Technique.

  • Know your own history, use it to define your future. And know you are not alone.

  • technique and chino xl kill it live

  • Congratulations on being the very first Rapper i Have 100% Respect For...

  • viva la revolución!

  • man he could at least make an effort to rhyme something

  • @secondarysetee It's a poem dude....

  • @adamtahraoui would sound better without the music then

  • @secondarysetee the soundtrack is there to set the ambiance and bring focus on a younger hip hop orientated generation.

  • @secondarysetee Its a speech, not a song.

  • It's "COLOMBIA" not "COLUMBIA". there's an "O" in there not a "U"

  • Comment removed

  • No matter how much you want to dye your hair blonde and put fake eyes in, or follow an anorexic standard of beauty, or no matter how many diamonds you buy from people who exploit your own brutally to get them, no matter what kind of car you drive or what kind of fancy clothes you put on, you will never be them. They're always gonna look at you as nothing but a little monkey. I'd rather be proud of what I am, rather than desperately trying to be something I'm really not, just to fit in.

  • @erick36594 That's my favorite part, too.

  • @DESERTstormBITCHES Haha he already addressed you man, You are a poor country ass soldier whose too stupid to know shit about the way things are set up.

  • this was horrible, what a gay song, crying on a mic

  • @DESERTstormBITCHES get the fuck outta here then u vagina

  • @DESERTstormBITCHES You obiousley dont have a brain.. Dumbass! Go back to listening to Lil wendys dumb shyt pendejo.

  • immortal technique is legit everything i look for in a rapper

  • "You can't have capitalism without racism."

  • Immortal Technique Sunday, November 13, 2011 at 8:00 PM @ Trees in Dallas! I'm there! This goes out to my Facebook peeps Watch and Read. Nice video! My favorite quote " I have more in common with most working and middle class white people than I do with rich black and Latino people." That's me.

  • immortal technique for president!!

  • bush disliked

  • W-O-R-D!!!!!!!!...........

    we are all equal for if we dont have water, food, or oxygen... we DIE!

    we must not let the stupidity of believing that bling, cars, land, color, shape, makes us better or different, letting people die beacuse of this makes us the stupidest creatures in the planet, but worse even is to sell or f@ck ourselves for the achievement of the dream that we will achieve greatness being different than the rest, having more than the neighbor!!!

  • @HRHShawnPendragone

    Who? Tech? Why?

  • this gave me the chills

  • porque si no, entonces te mando pal carajo cabron, gusano hijo de puta! seremos libre pronto,

    Viva La Revolucion!

  • is this an essay for school

  • ctfu it deff sound like it...i was actaully waiting for the nigga to spit a rhyme

  • At 2:41 I THINK HES TALKING ABOUT JESSICA ALBA

  • @sergiolemus87 he is talking about latino and lack society in general

  • @sergiolemus87 lololololol or any other glamour whore but....most likely jessica alba XD

  • Everyone, there is a new free Immortal Technique album out now called 'The Martyr' go download that shit~!

  • Amazing.

  • Read books People! "Lies My teacher told me" by James W. Loewen. Understand tht you may know one thing to be the obvious truth, you've know it all your life because it has affected you in one way or another. Other ppl have lived a separate life miseducated by our school system told lies in order to brainwash pple into thinking that the american society is a perfect society. In fact we all know it is not. Unfurtunetly Sometimes u just cant get throught to people because of their cancerous pride

  • Bad grammar keeps us down. This guy is using bad grammar. Why can't you people connect the dots? Thumbs down!

  • @Frances3654 You're such a dumbass. Who cares about bad grammar, you cock sucking moron.

  • @Radev4

    Do you have a valid argument you'd like to show me?

  • Does he think all white people are rich? Because it seems he has resentment towards whites..and I'm not some rich white guy, I have it worse than most blacks. But yeah, black pride, right?

  • @DbdisElite he says, 'my problem is not with the average white man.' It's the Elite . Making a statement " I have it worse than most blacks" is a very gerneral statement, you have not been in the shoes of someone different than you, dividing ourselves into all these categories is what "They" want. All poor, middle class, people are getting screwed reguardless of color. "Classism is the real issue".

  • @DbdisElite Did you actually listen to this video? He says that he has more in common with poor and middle class whites than rich hispanic or black people. Don't let your automatic reaction get in the way of understanding!

  • @DbdisElite Listen to the video.

  • New 2011 Immortal Technique - Toast to the Dead

    /watch?v=G6pmxLG7oWg

    This is not fake, I promise everyone it is new and not an old remix or any of that other garbage trolls like to post here.

  • Don't know why i stopped listening to him, feel free minded again. Good feeling.

  • this man speaks more truth in his lyrics than any president, politician, or activities anywhere he may never be president but his words will change more lives than most presidents have in a long time

    VIVA LA REVOLUCION!

  • @sports4lifej He will never be president for as he has said "the problem with being a conformist is that when you set out to change teh system, it is inevitably the system that changes you." While I agree we need a leader like Tech he could never be elected by our current system. his correctness on most issues is teh very reason h will never acheive that position. He points out that which we wish to remain ignorant of and so he will never be voted into office. atleast not in this world we're in

  • viva la revolucion!

  • Immortal Technique is so badass he doesn't even need a rhyme scheme to get his point across while sounding fucking incredible.

  • viva la revolucion.unios los pueblos del mundo!

  • VIVA LA REVOLUTION!

  • damn i have the urge to over throw the currupt government.

  • @KingAlex6 man, i just bought myself a glock, im ready

  • how can anybody dislike this? seriously ?

  • @M4TTD0GG

    They are reactionaries from the imperial mob!:-)

  • i wish every latino could hear this song instead of dumb mainstream shit.

  • we can learn all this in less the 100 years, and NO Technique wouldnt want to be president because it would be involved in the government and they all are runned by the rich.. Technique is in rage with the people who make all this infamous conspiracy, and he has all the reasons to be. But Mathew 5:44 says to love all you enemies. Some of you might ask ,"how do we do that ??".. Yes it might be hard, but its not easy being good in a bad world. Read romans 12, all of it. It talks about governement.

  • Is it just me, or does this feel more like the most intense spoken word poem ever..

  • @OMGyummi just you, i think

  • @mardigio 3 people agree. almost winning lol.

  • Technique needs to write a book.

  • something i just have been dying to voice is if you really think about it English colonist were the people who first colonized here. So since they were here the longest, the are most likly the richest so for all you ignorant peices of shit dont blame all white people for slavery.. segregation is another story thats something you can "blame" on all white people for that i guess

  • @BurnALLMainstream you dont 'colinize' or 'discover' something people had been living in for thousands of years i could go 'colinize' or 'discover' a car in the parking lot outside that still doesnt make it anybetter than 'stealing' it.

  • @BurnALLMainstream ...The Indians...They colonized here first, the thing you don't realize is that just because they didn't make their system fit the western civilization standards, we have the "Right" to say we colonized here first.

  • @BurnALLMainstream This person here, is one of the right-wing bougie motha-fuckas that Immortal Technique talked about in this piece.

  • "¡Utopía y Solidaridad!"

  • Este tío sí sabe qué es el comunismo.

    Muy grande su mensaje, muy conciso.

  • Us minorities need to learn about are own history and not the lies in the american history books otherwise the elite will still view us as ignorant. read a book that will set you free. Because we were a far greater people before European colonialism and before slavery. Listen to 3rd world technique sums it all up.

  • u thought of this more of an interesting history lesson rather than a song.

  • Poque o si no te mando pa'l carajo, cabrón gusano hijo de puta...seremos libres pronto...que viva la revolución....QUE VIVA LA REVOLUCIÓN!!

  • america? monkey? i feel weird as a non american white trash motherfucker listening to this

  • Immoral Tech is the leader of a cult of hatred and racism that is try to foment a communist revolution. The man is ugly and bitter. Only a fool that hates himself and with a brain too dead to see that hate is unhealthy would worship this Tech scumbag.

  • @YappyRaccoon you are obviously to ignorant to understand what immortal technique is saying. And I know ur gonna want to make ur self feel superior over me but never the less i know that you would never be able to comprehend what really is going on in this world. Maybe one day you will open your eyes and understand what im trying to tell you.

  • @YappyRaccoon You're trying to say Immortal technique is a bad guy, while you're making yourself a hypocrite, saying hate is unhealthy and hating on this guy yourself. If you think the things in this song will make you brain dead than why are you listening? The history Immortal technique talks about is at least 90% true. Its many of the Europeans that are racist too. I have old & new world ancestry, my mom is Italian and dad is Mexican. Look at both sides like me and don't be bias & ignorant.

  • @montiel291  Talking about how bad dog turd stinks in all his rap crap would be equally true. Just because a negative thing seems true to you doesn't mean you have to rant about it and yell it in people's faces until brainwashed morons like you starting ranting the same rant and getting your hate on. And yes you are hypocrite. You bitch & cry about people not liking this rap crap and call us hypocrites because you are a hypocrite. Of course you are too stupid and arrogant to get any of this.

  • @YappyRaccoon You don't have to like this rap. If you don't like it than don't listen and I will still listen because I like it. I'm not calling anyone else a hypocrite but you are sounding like one. There are true positive things as well.

  • @YappyRaccoon Not gonna lie, I've read all the comments you've posted and replied on here and so far I find your argument less and less convincing when all you're doing is ragging on others for spewing curse words and being "low class." My first thought is who are you to say who and what "low class" even is, and do you feel you are a better person because you grew up in a "middle/high class," why?, do you think that the low class people of this society can't be educated? Please enlighten me.

  • yo after hearing this i just threw my colored contacts out the window

  • immortal technique should run for president, fo real

  • the gov't needs 2 watch this video.... maybe they'll learn something

  • It's better to die upon your feet than to live upon your knees!.....

    Emiliano Zapata

  • He hates the government and economy so much. He uses anything negative issue he can find to fuel his hate. He is a communist and the 'revolution' he keeps harping on about is his fantasy of a repeat of Cuba's commie revolution to happen in america. His lyrics are 100% negative bitching and every 'song' has the exact same sound, rythm and negativity. The thug has zero creative talent and his hate is all that appeals to losers.

  • @YappyRaccoon funny the rich kid says he's bitching in every song when i bet u have never had to work for anything in life, if u hate his music why are u giving him more views? listen, go read what he's talking about then decide whether he's right or wrong but don't go calling his fans losers, just because he's talking about a topic that effects millions of people and not some bullshit repetitive lyrics with a good bass beat. fucking punk.

  • @YappyRaccoon It's funny how your ignorance is portrayed in your words. Your words sound exactly like the U.S. government's that overthrew Democratic leaders in Latin America. They called them communists. Leaders that actually wanted to help thier people, but since it was not in the U.S.'s economic interest, the U.S. put Dictators in each of those countries to control the flow of natural resources, while opressing the people of those countries. READ A FUCKEN BOOK.

  • @irvinlgnd Instead of spewing your illiterate profanity in allcaps in a feeble attempt to show the power of your hatred, try listening to what this Immoral Thug is on about. He says himself that he is trying to foment a communist revolution. Why deny what he himself is ranting about in all his 'songs' (actually they are just angry rants)? Learn what the thug you worship is trying to tell you instead of screaming out your ignorant hate.

  • @YappyRaccoon You call him a thug? You have no idea what a thug is.Come to chicago's ghettos and you will see a real thug. Communism is not what your 4th grade teacher taught you. So quit making it sound like it will kill you. You call me illirate? haha thats funny. A big change is coming and people like you will be the ones digging in trash for food.

  • @YappyRaccoon read a little bit of the history of my country, Chile. There was a socialist presidente here, Dr. Salvador Allende, ellected by our own people. The government of the USA helped the conservative parties and the chilean army to overthrow him. There was a dictature and thousands of chileans were tortured and murdered. Neoliberalism was implanted in our country, and 30 years after that we are one of the most unequal countries of the world. The rich get richer and the poor get fucked up

  • @YappyRaccoon our revolution is born from the love for our people. You don´t understand that because you had all in your life, fuck you, your government destroyed our continent. IS TIME FOR PAYBACK, FUCKIN GRINGO

  • @BOOTCAMPCHILE Get your hate on creep! That's exactly what this rap crap is preaching..... HATE!!!!

  • @BOOTCAMPCHILE Im sorry to barge in on your arguement, but seeing as you copied immortal techniques line he says born out of love of our people, not hatred for others. As different as you think you are, your both in the same middle-class fcked over boat. and this man didnt have anything to do with the torturements in your country. Im sorry to hear that and I hope your country struggles themselves out of the death-grip. This rap doesnt preach hate, it preaches love to all. listen to the song.

  • Technique For President

  • @sports4lifej i swear i was about to post that!

  • The socialist anthem, loool.

  • VIVA LA REVOLUCION!!!

  • F*cking awesome, his spanish is a bit bad though.

  • @HectorL360 Different dialects bro. I thought the same thing at first too.

  • i totally understand you man. i have done enough "research" to understand everyword you say.. FUCK NEW WORLD ORDER AND FUCK ILLUMINATI!!

  • At semaster, there is no way in hell we would be poor as a country if we evenly shared with all the world, plus the fact we have the power to create money, and so the fuck what you dont see a new ipod 5 coming out in amonth, you spoiled fucking lazy americans some of u man all you care about is ur electronics I respect you all as people but your so far into this constitution crap, open ur eyes to more thigs man, what happen to kids playin sports with their pals all day havin fun in the sun

  • @MJrealhiphopandkobe It isnt americans tht are at fault for tht obviously....it isnt the american peoples fault that their government bleeds other countries dry, nd it isnt their fault tht america steals ideas from other places nd calls it their own. its a few select ppl tht damaged america's reputation beyond repair. it isnt your average american who decides any of tht shit. so how can you sit there nd say tht wen your sitting here on youtube?? in other words, your an example of one of the

  • @daviboiify your raging shows how inmature you are mi amigo , dont like it dont see it or just dont post n it kid

  • @MJrealhiphopandkobe It isnt americans tht are at fault for tht obviously....it isnt the american peoples fault that their government bleeds other countries dry, nd it isnt their fault tht america steals ideas from other places nd calls it their own. its a few select ppl tht damaged america's reputation beyond repair. it isnt your average american who decides any of tht shit. so how can you sit there nd say tht wen your sitting here on youtube?? in other words, your an example of one of the

  • It's funny, I've never learned any of this, I'm serious not any of it in my history class, not ever. But somehow I just know it's true by the way he's presenting himself with his knowledge, he's a very good speaker but he's spot on with the system changing you when you try to change it.

  • after listing and reading this the ONLY thing in my mind is he is a very smart man and he should be heard more by people and what would it take to get people just atleast to have a fucking listen.

  • Smart rapper. Too bad mass media will never accept him.

  • Kurdistan the land of lions ...will never give up and will stand like mans for ever

  • Immortal technique even sing about kurdistan ...!!! and i am a kurd and i respect this guy hell much ..because he is just The best in this world .no one will ever come iN this life and beat'em up...and if u wanna listen about that song try to listen to (HARLEM RENAISSANCE)

  • i'd rather die free then live like a slave, when they come in the open, im gonna kill one of those fuckers...

  • people have to see , just because where different colour shapes or sizes where the same in the inside. and where all beautiful no matter what.

    but the sad thing is people cant accept something the way it is and for who someone\thing is and are. Like, popularity, what makes someone better then us? just because someone would rather reading and studying doesnt make them a loser. its what they want to do,

    people need to grow the fuck up, and accept people for what they are and not what they arent.

  • truth be told! i agree with immortal viva la revolution i will not sit here and compromise to the corruption of our government. i struggle to survive while these fake motherfuckers live it up due to their selfish behaviour. i wish i could meet immortal he speaks the truth, and the truth must be told&televised. In todays news we got nothing but lies.

  • soo deep

  • consciousness. The most simple yet complicated answer.

  • Our younger generation should listen to Immortal technique. Not some fakes like Bieber or Miley and other gay pop rock.

  • @RoootyScoooty We do, I'm 15 and doing my best to read Karl Marx's Poverty of Philosophy, although I will admit they use some complex language. Fuck it, I wil lread it a thousand times, whatever it takes to understand, and wake up! Viva La Revolucion, viva Che! When I come of age, and the time comes...I will lead my people, I have prepared for it, and have been preparing all my life!

  • @chris96kalonji I hope so....

  • @chris96kalonji Your fucking stupid.

  • @chris96kalonji Fuck Chel mass Munger. But, I like the Idea of Everyone haveing food and a place to live those. That much I can deal with. maybe Tax the fuck out of the upper 10%.

  • @SuburbanShinobi8000 Man, why the fuck are you listening to Immortal Technique then? Do you not listen, to the shit that you play? If Che was a murdered then what are the men who send Thousands of their own people to the Middle Eastern slaughter house? They're saints, huh? Fucking grow up, people kill people, the only difference is...What they kill for! Remember that, and don't fucking forget, killing has happened since beginning of time, so you kill or you die!

  • fake politicians with too much power.

  • When he says, "if we have some sense of who we really are" is he talking about the culture that we immgrated from?

  • Did anyone else get chills at Viva la Revolucion?

  • @MrLegendman3

    Yes, almost every time. Technique speaks too much truth here to not notice it.

    VIVA LA REVOLUCION!

  • Damn, that was as real as it gets

  • u want to know how classicism has ruined a country?come to india.the real dark skinned people of india have no say on what happens on their land.u have brahmans calling themselves the patriotic lords of the country while the dravidians suffer for a thousand years consequences of the aryan invasion.

  • @TheGirlsWithBrains I have never been to India. I would very much like to go. But I do know a tiny bit about the culture. The dark people or untouchables are in their condition because of religion. The proves that religious repression is real and could last for thousands of years if allowed to do so.

  • @nprfan2002 the religion of india is a mixing of the old dravidian culture and the new religion formed by the invasion of aryans (im one,for example,so let u know this is no bitter talk).religion just gave the concept of karma,ie do ur job,and forget the results.the way it has been twisted to good use,for people to create hierarchy,to ensure their privileges in society.i hate it.now u have some people who r so poor not bcoz they cant work,but bcoz they have been brainwashed to know their place.

  • Respond to this video... most things like these r brushed under the carpet.we grow up seeing people,a class and power divide,a money divide so large,that in india,i could be a millionaire and i could stay right next to someone who doesnt get one decent meal a day,and who is in crushing poverty.thats a fact we live with and ignore.i did too almost all my life.and religion and india cannot be separated btw.we ARE as a country a birthplace for spiritual things.

  • Respond to this video... honestly,if u should come to india,u should come for what everyone does,spirituality.its our trademark.as for the statement which brought classicm ,was from mahabharata,from arjuna asking questions to lord krishna.lord krishna is the God of love in hinduism.Arjuna is not a God,but fr thousands of years its been branded with Lord Krishna.so there u go,another way religion has been used to create terrible damage.

  • Great message in this song. One of my absolute favorites although its not really a song lol.

  • you wouldn't learn this much in a hundred years of school

  • @DeliriousSam LOL actually you would if you went or were smart enough to comprehend...

  • @DeliriousSam but this is useless facts

  • @loopert62 how are these useless facts? it has to start with being aware even if you are to afraid or don't have the resources to do something about it...

  • @DeliriousSam agreed

  • Tech is my absolute favorite rapper, and I disagree mostly with this video. There's a lot more going on than good against bad here people. Tech's very own credo is to search for knowledge on your own, and that means questioning his words too. Please read a little bit more on macro economics and the global market system in terms of politics and the actions of one country before praising every word he says. He's a brilliant man, but he's also very biased.

  • @xaroken Everyone is biased when it comes to something. I take AP macroeconomics and it is still a platform for corruption to exist.

  • Wow I Usually Memorize The Lyrics Of Any Rap Song, I Memorize Them Like Nothing, But It Looks Like Its Going To Take Some Time To Memorize Immortal Technique's Lyrics They are Just So Crazy And Fast.
