All races have contributed to what the world is today. When white people got slaves from Africa, it was Africans who were selling there own people to the whites. Now instead of uniting as one we see the black community killing & dealing drugs to each other. Fucking up our own communities. Its simple, the black community needs to unite as ONE & stop killing each other! Go to college, get a degree, and take those high paying jobs! Help out your community.
@PurplexSour Bra learn ur history!!! first nd foremost so called "black" ppl wearnt tookn frm Africa nd brought here...We been here...Even scientist say EVERYBODY on this earth was tha darkest of them all untill bout 10,000 years ago. nd when it comes tu white nd black those are status's not races nor nationalitys. and tha europeans switched places wit us. Tha etymology of white meens bright tu shine tha enlightened one sovereign. tha etymology of black/bleac actually meens pale
The problem with these songs is not only their socialist leaning, which is bad enough in itself, but the fact that these idiots keep trying to blame white people for all of the world's problems. The reality is they're no different than the white people who keep saying that black people are the cause of all the world's problems.
Revolutionaries like Dead Prez rely too much on polemic. They have to continuously say to the masses, "I am the people, I'm not the pig." But of course they are....
White people are the cause of the problems of the Earth, just so you know. I'm not black, I'm just sayin. If you've noticed, Whites like to call the black people the most violent/hateful people on the Earth. But have you noticed that Whites make up the most disgusting criminals of all time? Serial Killers, Rapists, Robbers, School Shooters, all white. White people are, in my opinion, psychopaths. As white as your skin is, your hearts are dirtier than the devils asshole.
how ignorant are u? we are all the same. its the human disease called greed, selfishness and lust for power that corrupts a man, regardless of his fucking skin pigment you poor unit. its becuase conditioned people like you that the world is shit. go back and ask an egyptian laborer how he felt about his goverment 4000 years ago or a chinese citizen under mao tse tung just 35 years ago.
its the power hungry elites of this world that are the enemy of us all.
@TheManiacalSatanist6 say dude you look like Satan himself , you should come to baton rouge louisiana an ill teach some black history ill take my black fist an learn you bout black power. bow dwn devil. red /black an green baby

"AYE YO, DIS YA BOI FECAL MATTER. I SMELL LIKE SHIT, SERVE IT ON A PLATTER. RHYMES SO TIGHT, MAKE A HOMO RESERVE HIS ERECTION, WHILE I TEST DA AGGRESSION, OF WHITE FOLK SUPPRESSION. OBAMACARE GOT MY BACK, I DONT KNOW SHIT BOUT POLITICS BUT I KNO HE BLACK! BORN WITH ANIMAL MENTAL CAPABILITIES, MY LIFE FALLS SHORT WHEN IT COMES TO REAL WORLD RESPONSIBILITIES. JUST ANUDDA BLACK MALE TRYNA MAKE IT IN A WORLD THAT I WASTE SPACE IN HUMAN RACE ITS TIME TO DISINTEGRATE SHOOT MYSELF FOR BEING BLACK RACE"
Dead Prez actually realised before Obama's ascendant to power that it's not gonna change anything. They are fucking geniuses. Why dosen't this have more views?
@LiBlub1 Communism in itself dosen't work. The socialism ideology however is interesting and probably the best political ideology you can move to. Two sides of the same coin as they say in this song.
@LiBlub1 Because capitalism dosen't work either. There's not a political ideology or economical system that can benefit everybody. And it's always the ones in the bottom of the ladder that gets most of the shit. It dosen't say anywhere in the manual of the market that it's supposed to create poverty and war over natural resources. But still it does. It's the same thing with communism, it dosen't say it's supposed to create dictatorships but it does.
@LiBlub1 So let's put it this way: Neither of it works. That's why there are no communist regimes anymore and the capitalistic regimes have prevailed. I don't wanna sound like an americanized fool, but if you deny that Mao,Stalin and Pot had some of the worst human right records ever you're an idiot.
@Rapatz100 If you study Russian history(seeing that Stalin was the only actually claiming to be a communist or socialist), you'll see that Lenin(the one who actually overthrew the Tsar)was out to help the people, not dominate them. But sadly, he died and Stalin took over. If Trotsky, Stalins main combatant among the bolsjeviks wouldn't have been murdered then the workers of Russia, and the world(assuming the revolution would've spread, most likely)would've been miles closer to justice.
@LiBlub1 Lenin was one of the greatest enemies of the people! During the Russian Revolution the people started organising themselves into worker's councils, Lenin and the other Bolsheviks aimed (and succeeded) in taking power away from them. The glimmers of hope with the Russian Revolution was these workers councils, the Krondstad rebellion and the Free Territory of Ukraine. All were brutally suppressed by Lenin, Trotsky etc. The closest to a pure communist society was in Spain 1936-1939.
@LiBlub1 You doubt what? The fact that Lenin et al were counter-revolutionaries in that they aimed to concentrate power into their own hands forming a new ruling class and creating a state capitalist society based upon their control over the land and the means of production instead of direct worker control? Seizing state power cannot lead to a communist society only to the continuation of domination and exploitation. Our means need to be in line with our aims.
What do you think of the argument of the ISO etc on state capitalist analysis that argues that the creation of a one party elitist state under Lenin can be traced to the fact that by the end of the civil war, the industrial working class was less than half its pre WWI number and the industrial output was less than one fifth of before the war, leading to the collapse of working class initiative and a food crisis in which the cities essentially could not pay the peasants for food?
can you suggest some books you think present a good argument against Lenin and the Bolsheviks in regards to their commitment to control truly BY the soviets? and regarding revolt among the peasantry and sections of the army?
I am a member of the ISO but somewhat suspicious of the historical record of Lenin et al. and trying to sort it out. What is your take on the dissolution of the Constituent Assembly? was it legitimately elected? what about the left SRs there? etc
@Rapatz100 Social democracy. It panders to the people when they get to loud by giving them small subsidies and treats, to shut them up. It's bribery, and the workers suffer. Socialism is the only way, communism is the only acceptable condition.
@LiBlub1 were people who talk against the government gets killed? Where you are forced to work wether you want it or not? Where your education dosen't matter so people stop educating themselves? Trust me, communism dosen't work
@Rapatz100 Your insulant daftness gives me a headache. In a communism society there is no state, that would mean that the people aren't in control and communism means that the people are in control. And if you're controlling your own body who's forcing you to work?
And on education, you can speak for yourself but I don't educate myself because I have to, or really because it makes a difference. I educate my self because I'm hungry for information and I love to learn.
@VictusMortuum Anarchists fail, they don't go long enough. If we don't build up a new system which will shelter, feed, and protect all we'll fall into capitalism again. Anarchism isn't enough.
@BucksGo2010 because 80% are brainwashed by the media, they dont like these message , they stick to what fucks society in the head and churns them money
@hymnofashes obama is a greater evil in my opinion. i rather have a bush who is obviously a puppet from hell then someone who is evil and pretending to make things better. like KRS-One said: YOU GOT A BLACK PRESIDENT BECAUSE IT DOESNT MATTER ANY MORE. fuck the nwo
@xkracklesx NO I wont be on a dead prez track if I was racist. My point is distinguishing black from niggers. A black man uses his brain and reasons with it a nigga jumps on the bandwagon. All you have to do is look at the state of hiphop to see that there are more niggers in the world then there are black people.
@Lucifer986 wrong,your poll is skewed,you assume the state of hip hop is what the record companies have shown you,you assume there are actually people buying these records to put these acts on top,you assume people are dumb based on these assumptions,by your own definition youre being a nigger,you jumped on a bandwagon based on the what the media has told you to think,tunt calling out tunts,im probably guilty to
@verdemanthe1 you argument defeats itself. If there is no market for that whack shit then it would not be produced or sold. The consumer is in control so there must be allot of people listening to crap.
@Lucifer986 there is no market for any music anymore everyone downloads it for free,if they werent so filthy rich the music industry would be bankrupt allready,people go to concerts but anyone who loves certain nameless groups that we all no suck(teenage girls mostly) is just jumping on the bandwagone cuz they heard it on the radio or saw the vid on tv,dont assume the majority of americans are that retarded,some people love whats pop most people love whats good,I dont even know why i saidnothin
@Lucifer986 I dont even know why I talk to you retards,but yes the record company no longer gets money from our record sales,record sales would be a good indicator of what the people like but no one buys records anymore since music is basically free,how do the record companies know what people like,they assume people like shitty music and thats what gets played on the radio and thats why you make assumptionsof piople based on the music thats"popular",you dont know what people listen to
@verdemanthe1 HAHAH coming from a nigga that prob sits at the street corner man you a retard lol. Your telling me that people pull figures out of there pockets LOL
@Lucifer986 "If there is no market for that whack shit then it would not be produced or sold. The consumer is in control so there must be allot of people listening to crap" how does the consumer control the market when they get their music for free,no one bought a lil wayne cd but they say it sold a million,and put him on top of the game,but its all fake nowdays people arent as dumb as you think,what youre doing is called projection,the record industry feeds on its own rotting corpse
modified commmunism...but mankind is too selfish...there is no perfect alternative...I'm just living life as I see fit, I can't change the world...only myself and live in a way that my daughter can be proud of...and by the way bro...I'm a sista
@sharlar modified communism? no sista, the correct answer is that there is no alternative. It doesn't matter what type of system you implement, as long as it is an invention of mankind it will always have flaws. Don't expect perfection( i.e. a social system) to be born from imperfection (i.e.mankind). Germany tried an alternative form from both communism and capitalism before world war 2 called the "third position"; look at how that turned out.
@1000rtodd I strongly disagree. Nobody is saying they want heaven on earth, perfection is unreal. We just want better, socialism would advance freedom and equality. You can't say that socialism doesn't work, because it exists in many different forms all throughout the world. Including the US. People can't just say that Democracy is the best, because it is never the same. Some Democracies have dozens of parties, others have dictators. Americans will never be free with a two party system.
@mctablina You need to work on making a clear and succinct point. You just jumped around a universe of different points in a single paragraph. I don'tknow even where to begin. okay, give some examples of where "socialism" "works". And the word "work" is subjective. What do you strongly disagree with? The fact germany tried the third position? That mankind is imperfect? That there is not a "workable" alternative to the system in america?I never said our system is the best.
@1000rtodd Apologies for the lack of clarity and concentration, it is difficult to fit what one has to say into the word limits. I was disagreeing with you saying that there is no alternative to the current situation in America, due to the fact that all man made systems are flawed. That is obviously not true. Also I disagree with the Germany example, after all, don't you think the Nazis problem had more to do with their facism, militarism, and hate, than it did their economic policy?
@mctablina it's a lot easier to criticize something than it is to offer a workable solution. For every example you give of socialism working i'll give you 2 of it not working.
@1000rtodd Almost every european nation employs a form of socialism with regards to its health care, and education. Even the US postal service is an example of socialism. You have got it in your head that socialism is equivalent to Stalin's policies in Russia or something. All it has to be is a system where the government takes a larger role in balancing the economics, providing services to its citizens. Americans simply have very low standards for what their government owes them.
@1000rtodd China, Russia, and Cuba are not true examples of how socialism fails. Cuba's economic collapse has much more to do with the fall of Russia and the US trade embargo. After all, to accurately judge, Cuba should be compared to its peers, and it is plain to see that the surrounding non socialist nations are not any better off. Venezuela though would be my example of a well off stereotypical socialist nation of today. You do not have to have a 100% free market in order for things to work.
@1000rtodd My workable solution would be too organize people so as to be more politically aware and involved, so that they can make their senators and congressman accountable. There need to be more than two viable parties, there needs to be an end to corporate funded campaigns. There should be free single payer healthcare and education for all. Do you know that in many european countries 100% of their education is payed for by the state? No US citizen should die of hunger or thirst.
@1000rtodd You say this is unreasonable? I would say it is more than reasonable. The US is supposed to be the richest nation on the planet, the envy of the world. It could be if not for the billions spent on wars and put into corporate pockets.
@mctablina Venezuela's poverty rate has actually RISEN since the implementation of socialist programs. That being said, anything you have mentioned might as well be science fiction because the world has yet to see it. Man I could argue all day, but debating on youtube gets quite exhausting, I'd rather speak than write. There are two kinds of people in this world, idealists and realists-not to say that one is better than the other- we probably both know what category each of us falls into.
@1000rtodd One example of why capitalism ultimately does not work: The ability to solve our energy crisis is more than in our power, they could make affordable alternative fuels today, but they don't. Reason being, they are making profits over oil. The result, of the free market determining our energy source? Wars over oil, global warming, and the destruction of the planet. But no, it's all good, lets leave the decisions to the consumer and free market capitalism.
@mctablina Most of the facts you pointed out are incontrovertible, although you have not written anything that I wasn't already familiar with, you were pretty much preaching to the choir most of the time. I agreed with most you have written.But, IM NOT ARGUING captialism is the best system. For every solution socialism brings to the table it also brings a problem. You failed to mention Venezuela, who undoubtely has a very socialist system in place since the election of Hugo Chavez
@1000rtodd I thought the conversation was over, at least by the tone of your final statements. You stated it as one of us being a realist the other an idealist. Would you like me to argue that point just for the sake of argument? I hope you are talking about these issues because you care about them deeply not just because you are trying to seem correct.
@mctablina And I dont really see the connection between Venezuela's prior dictatorship and its current trend of increasing poverty rates - please elucidate. I mean, less people were considered impoverished with the dictatorship in place than with Chavez. So how is that pertinent? If anything, it tells you that socialism is the sole cause. And back to the whole idealist, realist issue. It's just that, you see, idealists think they have some original and unique plan that is so easy to apply.
@1000rtodd Honestly you have not made an argument against socialism, at least not in the US. You can't use a country like Venezuela (which had a horribly corrupt dictatorship before socialism) because it is so different. I simply talking about implementing a highly progressive policy in the states. Less bs like the bailouts, wars, and education cuts of late, more of the European style system of taking care of citizens and avoiding the world police role. Where do you have a problem?
@mctablina i do care bro... I was just fucking around though, had a lot of down time at the office lately. Gotta love capitalism!! You're right, I havent made much of an arguement against socialism in America just as you havent made much of one for it. IN reality, its all hypothetical because -well, at this rate Obama is making damn sure we go the socialist route- america has yet to see socialism. So, instead of using hypotheticals I used a real scenario like that of Venezuela.
@mctablina You think Chavez got to his position because he was dumb? You think he hasen't thought or said the very same things you have?Maybe some slight variations but the ideals are the same. And is his system working? maybe, maybe not. It probably depends who you ask, the person eating out of the dumpster or the person who goes to school for free.Its just that, its difficult to apply socialism and capitalism while making sure everybody wins. But hey, I hope the future proves me wrong though.
Went to school with Clay (stic.man) in middle-school... remember because he used to get a lot of kidding from the other boys because he isn't circumsized. Other thing is that we would play b-ball, and he was kind of flashy dribbling... my sport wasn't b-ball but I was really good at defense and I trash talked him to a point that every time he had the ball I would take it. Guy grabbed my hair pulled me down... put my fist to his jaw... knocked him out. Dude crawls to the bleachers and cries.
@mctablina Cam down... it was junior high... we lost touch. Just remember his face when he pulled me hair; like I was just a bother to him, and then when my fist connected, its like all the air went out of the bag. Actually, glad he is doing well.
@mctablina That means that I am disrupting some topic of discussion, when all I see are short impulsive responses, and well-meaning diatribe. What lacks in this conversation is any reference to a 'real world' beyond what we feel we are involved in because of the media. Point is, these performers are celebrity. What they say has little integrity. And what is important has to do with the situation around you, not the situation according to your TV. Take a step back.
@FoolMagazine You're wrong though. Dead Pres ain't no Flavor Flav. These guys are the heads of real activist groups trying to make an impact in the community. They are leaders as well as musicians. Any ground that was made in the 60's was certainly boosted by the music, it's just as important now. Just watch DP's propaganda video. They are anti brainwashing. Of course We can't follow everything these guys say either. That's the point of fighting brainwashing. Think for yourself.
@mctablina Not Manichean, never one or the other. 'Ground' wasn't made in the 60s, and we are suffering due generational excess. The 'modern' society of labor envisioned in the 60s, failed evolving culture, and isolated people. Sincerity available for an artist is in questions, not the answer. DP is cognizant of a popular indoctrination, but answers with indoctrination. Distracted by consequences of 'the problem'. You don't fight 'brainwashing', you choose not to listen. A dangerous risk.
@FoolMagazine Well said, this is the epitome of what endangers progress of real people. She ends with 'think for yourself', and I'm not sure she is... rather, I think she is told by another that she is. What are you talking about when you speak of the 60s?
@USAFTiger Difficult to describe in short, but read the evolution of the American political economy, and the position of International (British) economy starting with Andrew Jackson. The 60s ended with alienation between sub-social class groups, establishment of a 'sophisticated' penitentiary system, and politics of arbitrariness with attempts to codify behavior without supportive cultural structure (i.e. 'gender equality', focused primarily on the 'work place'). Just turn the TV off.
@USAFTiger Who is telling me that I am thinking for myself?
So just because I lean towards the political spectrum of DP and agree with allot of their messages, I am automatically not thinking for myself?
All I am saying is that their is nothing wrong with proactively considering multiple political scenarios. We should be opened minded about how best to improve our situation. Music as a starting point if perfectly justified. And If you straight up disagree with all of DP, you're just trolling.
@mctablina First... 'trolling'? Next you'll call me a pedophile or anti-Semite. You are confusing yourself, as in one sentence you say 'opened minded' and in the next you are telling me that is I disagree with DP, my comments are illegitimate. Who is telling you what to think? Well, its because you don't lean towards a 'political spectrum', you subscribe to a 'political spectrum'. And from what I've read, you didn't even consider that guy's perspective... even though its anti-establishment.
@USAFTiger Wow........just wow. You can think whatever the f you want, but quit acting like you know what it is I am thinking because you obviously don't. Neither of us are going to get anywhere when ask "who is telling you what to think?", what is your dumb ass answer to that same question. You can disagree with DP, but none of the conversation on here has been about any of the issues at all, it's just been whether or not it's legitimate to have a conversation with DP as a starting point.
@USAFTiger Never said you couldn't disagree with DP, just letting you know is I am not seeing much discussion on the issues, just people gnawing at each other. I don't subscribe to nothing, and am only using phrases like political spectrum to get a point across. You are nitpicking everything I say without getting to the meat of it.
@FoolMagazine My rather obvious point was that their is a history of musicians being important political figures, think Bob Marley, or Public Enemy. The media is THE most important battle ground politically, and it is only natural that bands like DP or any kind of celebrities should want to use their power politically. So to say their message is not worth hearing because they are celebrities is not very logical. Shouldn't I be able to determine the validity of an argument using my own judgment?
@mctablina It is very logical, so please follow. All politics are local. Meaning what goes on within grasp is available for your political reach. The media is a modern institution directed to convince you that your reach is 'macrocosmic', and in this, economically driven to destroy local cultures. 'Celebrity' is useful gathering people, but are weak as pawns to the greater media structure (i.e. if DP said something 'wrong' they would be destroyed by 'rumor' publications - news, magazines, TV)
@FoolMagazine Politics aren't all local. What we do here or there will have huge implications elsewhere around the globe so I don't agree with you the least bit on that. DP does not function in the same venue as any newspapers or magazines so what the media determines they say wrong hardly matters. I agree that political change starts in your local area. However when there is so much influence to be had in the media game, why not allow all sides to have players?
@mctablina Politics are only local. What you see is a chain-reaction. As with lightning; you can not know place of impact from its origin. Outside powers use media as an actor in local politics. DP must be like media, as it is looking to balance its message with its audience; in order to survive and continue messaging. MLK succeeded not from TV (coming afterward) but his 'freedom march', in which he visited many localities. The media is a side, as it is owned by the established economic system.
@FoolMagazine I am skeptical about whether any real progress was made during the 60's as well, but my point was that using music as a tool for social change should be expected, as it has an obvious effect.
@mctablina Music is a great method of social and cultural change, among and in cohesion with all art forms. But in this situation, DP can only start the chain reaction, and then you must complete it. Meaning that it supplied you with the courage to question, but is fundamentally unable to answer those questions. Ex. I followed the Butthole Surfers, and then found myself enrolled at Columbia University. We need more people with persistence, to overtake ignorance in our elite schools.
@mctablina True, don't stop looking. I see attempts becoming more frequent, and myself am directed toward the same. And step one is the most important, but the steps after are more difficult... so if you can't find that... it's up to you to harness the energy available and do it yourself. It's a deep commitment, but the only good fight.
@FoolMagazine You think I am basing what is important to me by what is on the tv??? I don't watch tv, I am LIVING in the real world, and Dead Prez says allot of things I independently observe about the world around me. They are putting allot ideas out there for people to knaw on. So if you think they are a negative influence or something similarly dumb, then I say you must be quite content with the world and peoples understanding of it.
@mctablina About the TV, that's something I said to this other person regarding a quote, "...the sun don't shine on your TV". I don't think they are a negative influence, I just don't think they are themselves completely cognizant of 'the way things are'. Biased views place too much emphasis on directed victimization, on directed attacks of an unseen enemy... when primarily, attack is indirect and by way of greed. Modern politics are economic, and I'm not content with you thinking otherwise.
@FoolMagazine Just because an attack is indirect doesn't mean it isn't there. Who is to say what the intentions of the media are? I don't know, all I know is that it has a negative effect.
@mctablina Ok, not saying not attack, saying you can't 'pick sides' thinking the 'establishment' attacks people directly. To dislike a kind of people when it is in fact 1% of the population that uses people against one another. And I can say what the intentions of the media are, because that is where I am a professional. The intention of the media is to make money; and consolidate economic power. Placing rare news that 'matters' to keep people watching, and not effect economics adversely.
@godzwarrior1 White people have been indentured servants and slaves since the beginning of time. When you speak of pre-Civil War slavery, less than 5% of whites in the South owned slaves, maybe 1% owned more than 10 slaves, and "free-Negros" owned slaves. What you are seeing are a lot of wealthy white men who enslave anybody not them-selves. So, don't be distracted by white vs. black bullshit; just keeping people separated.
Don't join the army, the marines, or the air force. These soldiers suicide because they end up finding out the real agenda of the people they are working for. I support my troops, but I do not support the people running this country.
man ever since i heard these dudes they wreck this shit its like he said some of us rap and some tear this shit up thats real and imma white dude i mean i cant relate to some things they say about the black race but then again i can cuz black folks is real soul people thats what this world is about is the spiritual walk are you evil or good decide for your self but black people were treated unfairly
Seeing how you write I'd say you need some education. It's hard to take you seriously when you write like a 5year old. Stop doping yourself and your creativeness will be easier to comprehend.
Vote INDEPENDENT unless you want the same shit with a slightly different flavour.
All the major parties in UK and US are corporate sellout parties. Even though some honest politicians do exist in them I quote a U.S. Democrat in allegory to his party "would you ever imagine a manager of a firm going against the board of directors?"
sigh...you people who still have faith in any of these eurocentric systems of government are clearly gullible. Socialism, Democracy, Capitalism, "free trade" they are all constructs of a governmental system with money at it's core, Could you really still believe that third world poverty is not supported by the rich world? you cannot have wealth without debt, you need scarcity to have gluttony, this system is a contradiction that keeps us all in a rat race, we are slaves to materialism. wake up.
@sharlar that sort of depends on what you mean by socialism... but yeah, the way these concepts have been adopted in the world currently are material based...
"it is requisite to govern men by their passions, & animate them with a spirit of avarice & industry, art & luxury." -David Hume
haha what system would you suggest is better? Doesn't matter what type of government we got, people always gonna want better shit than the guy next to him. DP isn't givin their shit away for free, thats for damn sure. My point is that its easy to talk about not being materialist, but i'm guessing you got a computer, tv, radio, etc. moneys not goin anywhere any time soon, gives people something to do with the time they don't know how to use.
@r0llskyay0 ur right, I cant suggest a better system n DP needs to eat like everybody else, this is their job they must get paid.I'm inclined to agree that materialism is easier said than done, but I promise I'm not advocating changes that I'm unwilling to make. I once owned a computer it's a luxury that I no longer have, I use the library I dont own/watch tv/radio/ipod/cd etc. I own a phone and a guitar it's by choice that my possessions are so few but even still I've got a lot of growing to do
@sharlar Well most people are dumbasses, they think that by paying for someone to feed them, clothe them, and give them convenient shit is the only way they could live. They dont realize that every time you pay the gov. or some company to do something for you you give more power to them, or the people that own them. Most people in my generation dont know how to do anything themselves, theyre to busy on facebook. When the people who own everything decide to take something back we re all fucked.
@Ril74 WOW!!!!!!!! TOTALLY ON THE SAME LEVEL.THERE ALL BUSY WATCHING DUMBASS JESEY SHORE. LIKE ANY GOOD RAPPER WILL TELL YOU EDUCATION READING HEALTHY LIVING BUT NO WERE TO STUCK ON WHATEVER THE GOVERMENT FEEDS US!!!!!
@r0llskyay0 'Best' an evolved theological system (non-centralized) would be ideal... something like Shinto. Basically, it is to make institutions of power maintain the social contract, and adjusted to the size and scope of the institution. For example, in ancient Japan, an estate requires a sweeper... who would sweep the grounds with a goal for aesthetic perfection. (Still do this in Japanese Gardens.) Point is to hire individuals to skilled (stable) positions with respect in a work-ethic.

@sharlar i agree with what you say up to the slave part. I think of it more as we are victims to it, for we cant just say screw it. iama live out in the woods, and live off the earth.
research ronpaul and cynthia mccinney real free market and real capitalism can work but thats not what we have. thats what they tell us we have. real socialism would be ok but they wont give us the real anything. they give us slavery
Dead Prez hit it right on the vein with this one. Take a look at my Channel and see what I'm cooking up for my album. That's just a sample, check out my website for more.
government is slavery and is below the capability of human beings government will never work because of the allowance of corruption that has made its way into every established government in our history but agreed we need to not sit on the computer and bicker start change by putting the effort into your own community lets get free lets stop this oppression
Any form of gov will and can work. With anyone that makes and sends mesges like that of even this music video. Is that it does not matter what that fuck the situation is.. its all about who is in charge and if they really are doing whats right and taking care of the people. Last this is assuming that things are all ready fucked(like they are) ...SOOO you all need to get the fuck off your computers and stop writing pointless shit to some retard that will reply "Your still gay"
U re wrong m8 i see u interested but not well infromed thats why im here .ANARCHISM EXAMPLES are spain 1936-1939 where whore catalonian industry was colectivized and factoryes shops field were run by thei own employees .Other example for anarchsim will be Ukraine 1918-1921 and third exmaple where anarchism function even today is argentina but only 6 factoryes function there under anarchism or workers self menagment suggested documentaryes about that living utopia for spain , the take-argentin
and that in swizerland it is not democracy like america have reprezential democracy but direct democracy which anarchism is all about..They have parlamental democracy and capitalism but alos have little elements of direct democracy like referendums they did .
i think we should come up with some sort of communist democracy hybrid...either that or anarchy aka they way narture intended lol...motherfuccas wanna govern me, i have no say..."go out and vote"...political placebo...and,and,and!...fucc the nypd lol
Not trying to offend anyone...
All races have contributed to what the world is today. When white people got slaves from Africa, it was Africans who were selling there own people to the whites. Now instead of uniting as one we see the black community killing & dealing drugs to each other. Fucking up our own communities. Its simple, the black community needs to unite as ONE & stop killing each other! Go to college, get a degree, and take those high paying jobs! Help out your community.

The problem with these songs is not only their socialist leaning, which is bad enough in itself, but the fact that these idiots keep trying to blame white people for all of the world's problems. The reality is they're no different than the white people who keep saying that black people are the cause of all the world's problems.
Revolutionaries like Dead Prez rely too much on polemic. They have to continuously say to the masses, "I am the people, I'm not the pig." But of course they are....

White people are the cause of the problems of the Earth, just so you know. I'm not black, I'm just sayin. If you've noticed, Whites like to call the black people the most violent/hateful people on the Earth. But have you noticed that Whites make up the most disgusting criminals of all time? Serial Killers, Rapists, Robbers, School Shooters, all white. White people are, in my opinion, psychopaths. As white as your skin is, your hearts are dirtier than the devils asshole.

@Rapatz100 Why doesn't it work? Explain to me.
LiBlub1 7 months ago
@LiBlub1 Because capitalism dosen't work either. There's not a political ideology or economical system that can benefit everybody. And it's always the ones in the bottom of the ladder that gets most of the shit. It dosen't say anywhere in the manual of the market that it's supposed to create poverty and war over natural resources. But still it does. It's the same thing with communism, it dosen't say it's supposed to create dictatorships but it does.
Rapatz100 7 months ago
@LiBlub1 So let's put it this way: Neither of it works. That's why there are no communist regimes anymore and the capitalistic regimes have prevailed. I don't wanna sound like an americanized fool, but if you deny that Mao,Stalin and Pot had some of the worst human right records ever you're an idiot.
Rapatz100 7 months ago
@Rapatz100 If you study Russian history(seeing that Stalin was the only actually claiming to be a communist or socialist), you'll see that Lenin(the one who actually overthrew the Tsar)was out to help the people, not dominate them. But sadly, he died and Stalin took over. If Trotsky, Stalins main combatant among the bolsjeviks wouldn't have been murdered then the workers of Russia, and the world(assuming the revolution would've spread, most likely)would've been miles closer to justice.
LiBlub1 7 months ago
@LiBlub1 Lenin was one of the greatest enemies of the people! During the Russian Revolution the people started organising themselves into worker's councils, Lenin and the other Bolsheviks aimed (and succeeded) in taking power away from them. The glimmers of hope with the Russian Revolution was these workers councils, the Krondstad rebellion and the Free Territory of Ukraine. All were brutally suppressed by Lenin, Trotsky etc. The closest to a pure communist society was in Spain 1936-1939.

@LiBlub1 You doubt what? The fact that Lenin et al were counter-revolutionaries in that they aimed to concentrate power into their own hands forming a new ruling class and creating a state capitalist society based upon their control over the land and the means of production instead of direct worker control? Seizing state power cannot lead to a communist society only to the continuation of domination and exploitation. Our means need to be in line with our aims.
neoptolemus 7 months ago
@neoptolemus
What do you think of the argument of the ISO etc on state capitalist analysis that argues that the creation of a one party elitist state under Lenin can be traced to the fact that by the end of the civil war, the industrial working class was less than half its pre WWI number and the industrial output was less than one fifth of before the war, leading to the collapse of working class initiative and a food crisis in which the cities essentially could not pay the peasants for food?

@Rapatz100 Your insulant daftness gives me a headache. In a communism society there is no state, that would mean that the people aren't in control and communism means that the people are in control. And if you're controlling your own body who's forcing you to work?
And on education, you can speak for yourself but I don't educate myself because I have to, or really because it makes a difference. I educate my self because I'm hungry for information and I love to learn.

sharlar 1 year ago
@sharlar modified communism? no sista, the correct answer is that there is no alternative. It doesn't matter what type of system you implement, as long as it is an invention of mankind it will always have flaws. Don't expect perfection( i.e. a social system) to be born from imperfection (i.e.mankind). Germany tried an alternative form from both communism and capitalism before world war 2 called the "third position"; look at how that turned out.
1000rtodd 1 year ago
@1000rtodd I strongly disagree. Nobody is saying they want heaven on earth, perfection is unreal. We just want better, socialism would advance freedom and equality. You can't say that socialism doesn't work, because it exists in many different forms all throughout the world. Including the US. People can't just say that Democracy is the best, because it is never the same. Some Democracies have dozens of parties, others have dictators. Americans will never be free with a two party system.

@mctablina You need to work on making a clear and succinct point. You just jumped around a universe of different points in a single paragraph. I don'tknow even where to begin. okay, give some examples of where "socialism" "works". And the word "work" is subjective. What do you strongly disagree with? The fact germany tried the third position? That mankind is imperfect? That there is not a "workable" alternative to the system in america?I never said our system is the best.

@1000rtodd Apologies for the lack of clarity and concentration, it is difficult to fit what one has to say into the word limits.

Also I disagree with the Germany example, after all, don't you think the Nazis problem had more to do with their facism, militarism, and hate, than it did their economic policy?

1000rtodd 1 year ago
@1000rtodd Almost every european nation employs a form of socialism with regards to its health care, and education. Even the US postal service is an example of socialism. You have got it in your head that socialism is equivalent to Stalin's policies in Russia or something. All it has to be is a system where the government takes a larger role in balancing the economics, providing services to its citizens. Americans simply have very low standards for what their government owes them.
mctablina 1 year ago
@1000rtodd China, Russia, and Cuba are not true examples of how socialism fails. Cuba's economic collapse has much more to do with the fall of Russia and the US trade embargo. After all, to accurately judge, Cuba should be compared to its peers, and it is plain to see that the surrounding non socialist nations are not any better off. Venezuela though would be my example of a well off stereotypical socialist nation of today. You do not have to have a 100% free market in order for things to work.
mctablina 1 year ago
@1000rtodd My workable solution would be too organize people so as to be more politically aware and involved, so that they can make their senators and congressman accountable. There need to be more than two viable parties, there needs to be an end to corporate funded campaigns. There should be free single payer healthcare and education for all. Do you know that in many european countries 100% of their education is payed for by the state? No US citizen should die of hunger or thirst.

@mctablina Venezuela's poverty rate has actually RISEN since the implementation of socialist programs.

@1000rtodd One example of why capitalism ultimately does not work: The ability to solve our energy crisis is more than in our power, they could make affordable alternative fuels today, but they don't. Reason being, they are making profits over oil. The result, of the free market determining our energy source? Wars over oil, global warming, and the destruction of the planet. But no, it's all good, lets leave the decisions to the consumer and free market capitalism.

mctablina 1 year ago
@mctablina And I dont really see the connection between Venezuela's prior dictatorship and its current trend of increasing poverty rates - please elucidate. I mean, less people were considered impoverished with the dictatorship in place than with Chavez. So how is that pertinent? If anything, it tells you that socialism is the sole cause. And back to the whole idealist, realist issue. It's just that, you see, idealists think they have some original and unique plan that is so easy to apply.
1000rtodd 1 year ago
@1000rtodd Honestly you have not made an argument against socialism, at least not in the US. You can't use a country like Venezuela (which had a horribly corrupt dictatorship before socialism) because it is so different. I simply talking about implementing a highly progressive policy in the states. Less bs like the bailouts, wars, and education cuts of late, more of the European style system of taking care of citizens and avoiding the world police role. Where do you have a problem?
mctablina 1 year ago
@mctablina i do care bro... I was just fucking around though, had a lot of down time at the office lately. Gotta love capitalism!! You're right, I havent made much of an arguement against socialism in America just as you havent made much of one for it. IN reality, its all hypothetical because -well, at this rate Obama is making damn sure we go the socialist route- america has yet to see socialism. So, instead of using hypotheticals I used a real scenario like that of Venezuela.

@mctablina You think Chavez got to his position because he was dumb? You think he hasen't thought or said the very same things you have?Maybe some slight variations but the ideals are the same. And is his system working? maybe, maybe not. It probably depends who you ask, the person eating out of the dumpster or the person who goes to school for free.Its just that, its difficult to apply socialism and capitalism while making sure everybody wins. But hey, I hope the future proves me wrong though.

@FoolMagazine You're wrong though. Dead Pres ain't no Flavor Flav. These guys are the heads of real activist groups trying to make an impact in the community. They are leaders as well as musicians. Any ground that was made in the 60's was certainly boosted by the music, it's just as important now. Just watch DP's propaganda video. They are anti brainwashing. Of course We can't follow everything these guys say either. That's the point of fighting brainwashing. Think for yourself.

@mctablina Not Manichean, never one or the other. 'Ground' wasn't made in the 60s, and we are suffering due generational excess. The 'modern' society of labor envisioned in the 60s, failed evolving culture, and isolated people. Sincerity available for an artist is in questions, not the answer. DP is cognizant of a popular indoctrination, but answers with indoctrination. Distracted by consequences of 'the problem'. You don't fight 'brainwashing', you choose not to listen. A dangerous risk.

@USAFTiger Difficult to describe in short, but read the evolution of the American political economy, and the position of International (British) economy starting with Andrew Jackson. The 60s ended with alienation between sub-social class groups, establishment of a 'sophisticated' penitentiary system, and politics of arbitrariness with attempts to codify behavior without supportive cultural structure (i.e. 'gender equality', focused primarily on the 'work place'). Just turn the TV off.

@USAFTiger Who is telling me that I am thinking for myself?
So just because I lean towards the political spectrum of DP and agree with allot of their messages, I am automatically not thinking for myself?
All I am saying is that their is nothing wrong with proactively considering multiple political scenarios. We should be opened minded about how best to improve our situation. Music as a starting point if perfectly justified. And If you straight up disagree with all of DP, you're just trolling.

@mctablina First... 'trolling'? Next you'll call me a pedophile or anti-Semite. You are confusing yourself, as in one sentence you say 'opened minded' and in the next you are telling me that is I disagree with DP, my comments are illegitimate. Who is telling you what to think? Well, its because you don't lean towards a 'political spectrum', you subscribe to a 'political spectrum'. And from what I've read, you didn't even consider that guy's perspective... even though its anti-establishment.

I don't subscribe to nothing, and am only using phrases like political spectrum to get a point across. You are nitpicking everything I say without getting to the meat of it.
mctablina 1 year ago
@FoolMagazine My rather obvious point was that their is a history of musicians being important political figures, think Bob Marley, or Public Enemy. The media is THE most important battle ground politically, and it is only natural that bands like DP or any kind of celebrities should want to use their power politically. So to say their message is not worth hearing because they are celebrities is not very logical. Shouldn't I be able to determine the validity of an argument using my own judgment?
mctablina 1 year ago
@mctablina It is very logical, so please follow. All politics are local. Meaning what goes on within grasp is available for your political reach. The media is a modern institution directed to convince you that your reach is 'macrocosmic', and in this, economically driven to destroy local cultures. 'Celebrity' is useful gathering people, but are weak as pawns to the greater media structure (i.e. if DP said something 'wrong' they would be destroyed by 'rumor' publications - news, magazines, TV)

@FoolMagazine Politics aren't all local. What we do here or there will have huge implications elsewhere around the globe so I don't agree with you the least bit on that. DP does not function in the same venue as any newspapers or magazines so what the media determines they say wrong hardly matters. I agree that political change starts in your local area. However when there is so much influence to be had in the media game, why not allow all sides to have players?
mctablina 1 year ago
@mctablina Politics are only local. What you see is a chain-reaction. As with lightning; you can not know place of impact from its origin. Outside powers use media as an actor in local politics. DP must be like media, as it is looking to balance its message with its audience; in order to survive and continue messaging. MLK succeeded not from TV (coming afterward) but his 'freedom march', in which he visited many localities. The media is a side, as it is owned by the established economic system.

@FoolMagazine I am skeptical about whether any real progress was made during the 60's as well, but my point was that using music as a tool for social change should be expected, as it has an obvious effect.
mctablina 1 year ago
@mctablina Music is a great method of social and cultural change, among and in cohesion with all art forms. But in this situation, DP can only start the chain reaction, and then you must complete it. Meaning that it supplied you with the courage to question, but is fundamentally unable to answer those questions. Ex. I followed the Butthole Surfers, and then found myself enrolled at Columbia University. We need more people with persistence, to overtake ignorance in our elite schools.

@FoolMagazine Well you don't see much out there even starting the chain reaction, so when you do see it, it should be praised.
mctablina 1 year ago
@mctablina True, don't stop looking. I see attempts becoming more frequent, and myself am directed toward the same. And step one is the most important, but the steps after are more difficult... so if you can't find that... it's up to you to harness the energy available and do it yourself. It's a deep commitment, but the only good fight.

@FoolMagazine You think I am basing what is important to me by what is on the tv??? I don't watch tv, I am LIVING in the real world, and Dead Prez says allot of things I independently observe about the world around me. They are putting allot ideas out there for people to knaw on. So if you think they are a negative influence or something similarly dumb, then I say you must be quite content with the world and peoples understanding of it.
mctablina 1 year ago
@mctablina About the TV, that's something I said to this other person regarding a quote, "...the sun don't shine on your TV". I don't think they are a negative influence, I just don't think they are themselves completely cognizant of 'the way things are'. Biased views place too much emphasis on directed victimization, on directed attacks of an unseen enemy... when primarily, attack is indirect and by way of greed. Modern politics are economic, and I'm not content with you thinking otherwise.
FoolMagazine 1 year ago
@FoolMagazine Just because an attack is indirect doesn't mean it isn't there. Who is to say what the intentions of the media are? I don't know, all I know is that it has a negative effect.
mctablina 1 year ago
@mctablina Ok, not saying not attack, saying you can't 'pick sides' thinking the 'establishment' attacks people directly. To dislike a kind of people when it is in fact 1% of the population that uses people against one another. And I can say what the intentions of the media are, because that is where I am a professional. The intention of the media is to make money; and consolidate economic power. Placing rare news that 'matters' to keep people watching, and not effect economics adversely.

godzwarrior1 1 year ago
@godzwarrior1 White people have been indentured servants and slaves since the beginning of time. When you speak of pre-Civil War slavery, less than 5% of whites in the South owned slaves, maybe 1% owned more than 10 slaves, and "free-Negros" owned slaves. What you are seeing are a lot of wealthy white men who enslave anybody not them-selves. So, don't be distracted by white vs. black bullshit; just keeping people separated.

Socialism, Democracy, Capitalism, "free trade" they are all constructs of a governmental system with money at it's core, Could you really still believe that third world poverty is not supported by the rich world? you cannot have wealth without debt, you need scarcity to have gluttony, this system is a contradiction that keeps us all in a rat race, we are slaves to materialism. wake up.

haha what system would you suggest is better? Doesn't matter what type of government we got, people always gonna want better shit than the guy next to him. DP isn't givin their shit away for free, thats for damn sure. My point is that its easy to talk about not being materialist, but i'm guessing you got a computer, tv, radio, etc. moneys not goin anywhere any time soon, gives people something to do with the time they don't know how to use.

@r0llskyay0 ur right, I cant suggest a better system n DP needs to eat like everybody else, this is their job they must get paid.I'm inclined to agree that materialism is easier said than done, but I promise I'm not advocating changes that I'm unwilling to make. I once owned a computer it's a luxury that I no longer have, I use the library I dont own/watch tv/radio/ipod/cd etc. I own a phone and a guitar it's by choice that my possessions are so few but even still I've got a lot of growing to do

@sharlar Well most people are dumbasses, they think that by paying for someone to feed them, clothe them, and give them convenient shit is the only way they could live. They dont realize that every time you pay the gov. or some company to do something for you you give more power to them, or the people that own them. Most people in my generation dont know how to do anything themselves, theyre to busy on facebook. When the people who own everything decide to take something back we re all fucked.

@r0llskyay0 'Best' an evolved theological system (non-centralized) would be ideal... something like Shinto. Basically, it is to make institutions of power maintain the social contract, and adjusted to the size and scope of the institution. For example, in ancient Japan, an estate requires a sweeper... who would sweep the grounds with a goal for aesthetic perfection. (Still do this in Japanese Gardens.) Point is to hire individuals to skilled (stable) positions with respect in a work-ethic.

of the third reich were the opposit of this theory which shows that this whole stuff is totaly ridicolous and garbage.

dude, the whole race-theory of Hitler is total bullshit
he used this to justifiy his war.
this theory was even thought at school in germany and parts of austria.
parts of the aryan race were for example germany, UK, parts of scandinavia.
Other parts of europe were seen as inferior which is totaly bullshit ofcourse.
to be honest hitler didnt make up this aryan race. Aryans actually came from the old Persian empire.
Hitler abused the name of the aryan for his purposes.
