this song bothers me. against me was always so strong in their messages regarding anarchism and politics in general, their first album is just fucking great while the other albums were also good in their own regards. but now it just seems like he's giving up the fight, just because things look bad doesn't mean we should give in to society/authority. dont get me wrong im a cynical asshole myself. but im not going to just give up on my ideals
As a teenage anarchist all i can say is anarchy wont work not at lest until the long run. You can sit here on youtube and bitch about it or you can actually do something. Now I might be an anarchist but im signing up to vote for the first time cause i dont want obama president again. Ron Paul is getting my vote. Even if he ends up like every other politician, what did i have to lose when i had noting. RON PAUL 2012 putting a end on the war on drugs and the feds!!!
@NateJames1 Dude, have you been to Ron Pauls site,he's for ending the welfare state entirely.This affects not only the war on drugs but education, social security. Not just military and corporate welfare but everything else.There are elderly people who depend on their welfare checks! Im an anarchist but I realize alot of people need help. And unfortunately this capitalist gov is doing the job. Plus , Ron Paul and every politician is corporately bought.Why would you vote for corporate domination?
I'm assuming most of you are 15 year olds still, which is why you don't understand the evolution of the band's lyrical content. When they were younger, they were all about anarchy, until they got older, and realized that's not really a viable option. Anarchy is an ideal held mostly by the young. I was a teenage anarchist as well, and now that I'm 26 I get exactly what he's talking about. This song really takes me back.
Man this new shit is like a slap in the face to what this band use to be. Respect for the old shit but this new stuff just sounds to crisp and the lyrics are nowhere near what they were putting out.
i agree with them cops r imature adults and want to get there money.. my freind for a instance. was tackled down and hit for nothing.. cuz they thought he was a suspect who escaped from jail. he wasnt.. and he was beat by 3 cops.. for no intentional reason... and yes they do need to get a quota for tickets and arrests. they do plant stuff i seen it... so all u guys prolly have cops in ur family and dont want to believe it... but its true...
The dreams of Anarchists arent total Chaos because there is no government but that we could respect each other enough to where no one would have to rule over us... A utopia where we didnt murder or break the laws, in the end we wouldnt need em... Sadly that will never happen.
@SamGus01 Actually anarchism isn't a utopian philosophy. It is nice that you regurgitate something similar to what is taught in modern [liberal] state public schools. The CNT in Spain was a functional organization of industrial unionism. Anarchists and anarchism was largely responsible for unionization which helped lead to your 8 hour working day, and child labor laws.
But ignore all that and act like the IWW never existed. It is definitely easier that way - safer, with your moon over marin.
@SamGus01 I think a government in the inevitable outcome of anarchy. You're going to have some group of people attempt to seize power, it's just human nature.
@jesuriah There are many theories on human nature. Buddhist, existentialist, realist, even Ghandhi had a diff. take. Your social consciousness is determined by your relation to capital"- Marx
@esteban8426ify True, but we have seen (almost) every civilization on this planet create some sort of government, even if it is little more than a patriarch/matriarch hierarchy.
A little too pop for me (I like the Dylan-esque quality of the early stuff), but Tom Gabel has a very good voice. Not just a good punk voice, but just a good voice in general.
I dont understand the hate against me is receiving... they are still the same band that they used to be. Sure this song may sound different compared to other songs but holy shit isn't that called a creative mind and don't we expect that from music artists? How can people expect songs to always be 100% the same people change everyday and new things influence how they think and how they act. If you actually listened to the song and watched the video without being ignorant there is a message.
i'd remember my punk days whit this song.. i remember when i say those empty things.. all the hate against people tht i dont even know.. and they dont even notice tht i was there.. but i grown up.. and i realize, tht if u wanna be someone, and try to fuck the system u gotta study.. but u will never be 100% anarchist, probably if u are a cavemen u can be an anarchist.. Just my opinion
@rudemonipulation I agree, Henry Rollins would've token two steps foward, turned around and beat the shit out of the cop instead of running like a pussy.
I'll still go to every Against Me! show that comes through my area no matter how bad White Crosses was. Tom says that he tries to do 5 songs from every album for their shows. 80% of an Against Me! is still better than 100% of most other bands.
@LukeTheFormalPunk In fairness, when I was in secondary school, the goth thing was huge and if you were a goth, you felt like you were apart of something huge and you were different than the rest of them. Now that I am 24, I began to realise when I was 19, that all the goths dressed the same and listened to the same music,my cousin is 17 and considers himself "emo" and believes the same thing, I believed at his age. The message of bullshit will always be needed.
"Despite our belief we are not the greatest species in existence We are not the missing link, this is not advancement, the truth remains the same As we push forward searching for our destiny, which we know damn well is death, I sing a song in desperation for the dying, those who could all be helped so easily Those who fill your fucking plate All in the name of what? Our arrogance, this need for dominance Well I am not so blind"
Want to tell me only the sound changed? Not the meaning? Bullshit.
"Fuck the police"? NO. Idiots, police are vital civil servants, and they are *also* victims of a crappy system. Have fun fending off looters if a police strike ever happens.
As for the complaints about the band's 'betrayal', there are practical problems in making anarchy work. E.g.: corrupt upperclassmen could BECOME the gov't in the exact same way that drug lords can rule sections of cities, only without the legal restraints.
@deviantXarratha Law enforcement agencies are essentially bureaucracies, completely hermeticised from any form of democratic participation in the communities to which they should accountable to, with their primary function being the enforcement of the class division. Society could function without a traditional police force, insofar as it polices itself.
@deviantXarratha There will always be a need for specialists and networks (confederation), but this would be organized on a directly democratic, bottom up basis rather than hierarchically. - The bourgeoisie already use the State as a means of executing their interests, as in the example given above, so your practical problem is extant. This could be an issue in an "Anarcho-Capitalist" society, but a Libertarian-Socialist society would by prerequisite have expropriated the
@deviantXarratha resources which this class monopolizes, socialized the means of life (abolition of private ownership), distributed them rationally and equitably (democratization of production and consumption), and leveled all of society into one universal politico-economic class; humanity.
@deviantXarratha There's issues in any society, not excluding ours. The extent to which these issues can be resolved is dependent upon the structure of this society. Both capitalism and representative democracy are intrinsically flawed, with any form of mitigation being superficial and provisional.
@nomdeplum815 Wow. Thank you. Mostly, I was frustrated with the idiots shouting "f*ck the police" or that the revolution "IS NOT A LIE, IS TOO, IS NOT!" So that's why I posted that.
Yeah. Anyways, I'll have to think about what you've said. I don't often think about political issues, I tend to focus more on social issues (e.g. patriarchy, cissexism, heteronormativity), so I was just guessing. Clearly, I should expand my knowledge.
Again, thank you for your insight and explanation.
@deviantXarratha No problem. I'd suggest reading into both Libertarian-Socialism and Libertarian-Marxism. Unknown0321 has a link in his profile to a site that provides an immense amount of valuable information. The issues which you are concerned with (I had to look up cissexism) are not exclusive to a Libertarian form of Socialism, which addresses pretty much all forms of hierarchy. I hope you take the time educate yourself on these topics.
@nomdeplum815 Thanks for the link, and the guidance. I'll definitely spend some time *read: until I have to go to sleep or else pass out* learning about this. You've piqued my curiousity, for sure. And I'm glad I got one person to look up cissexism, because it's an issue that's rather close to my heart.
Fuck my six page essay, learning is more fun than spouting dry facts. (ﾉ´ｰ`)ﾉ ┻━┻
@deviantXarratha No...fuck the police. America is a police state and the corrupt police, planting evidence and imprisoning kids for smoking dope so that the politicians can get their paycheck from the private prisons are scum.
@AEgamesFtw Mm, no, I still stand by my statement. They're just people trying to get by and often they have a strong sense of justice, even if you don't agree with it.
I don't know if there's a term for that sort of thing, but a related idea of manipulating a hurtful system is the patriarchal deal. Search "sociological images serena williams patriachal bargain" ...Look, it even describes your reaction in a different context! (the "1st against the wall" bit)
@deviantXarratha The police are the only thing protecting the system. Without them, the only thing the cunts would have left would be the military and THAT would change everything... it would spark full scale revolution inside and outside of the military itself.
@AEgamesFtw I think you are over exaggerating with the comment "planting evidence and imprisoning kids for smoking dope". i don't think you would do so well if you were lets say raped and needed police help. if i were a cop after hearing your views i would just leave you to rot in the basement of some pedophyle.
@JoeatA7X No... I'm not. Do your research. The police in certain areas get their bonuses etc only if they fufil a certain quota of arrests. It's common practice for them to plant evidence to reach this. And A LOT of kids are imprisoned for smoking weed.... 1 in 100 of the US adult population is in jail...that's 20% more than Russia (the second leading in that category) and it grew at a ridiculous rate in the last few years alone.
Fuck this, fuck Tom Gabel, and Against Me! they are hypocrites, politics aren't convenient, and the revolution wasn't a lie. This video makes me wanna burn shit. Fuck you Against Me!
@MufinzLovesYew listen to the lyrics....he's explaining how anarchy will never work and if you listen closely you'll hear him explain how and why his views changed. He grew up, and maybe you should too
@Danosaur101 I wouldnt exactly say Fuck the police, its an authoritarian position and it can make some people power hungry. I love most anarchist ideals frankly, and I'd rather not see the world on fire. I just want people to take responsibility for their own actions.
yes i do remember. this is my all time fav song. if the goverment didnt piss off so many people they would be no anarchists. i myself am a fellow anarchist but i belive that there is not enough anarchist head on the same subject at the same time. one group is saying "stick it to the war" and another is "stick it to captilisum" if we all focus on one thing at a time the revolution wouldnt be a lie. and to the official music vid i say fuck police brutality. if we all come together we may win.
Fuck the negative comments, no point even taking notice of the pricks. Against Me!'s old stuff rules, and the new stuff rules. Fucking awesome band, and great live show too.
I was a teenage anarchist. Now, Baby I'm an anarchist. just know that i did it all for don. Holler if you felt a pang of hope when this vid got to 1:54
@Danosaur101 I just thumbed up your comment and im a cop, myself. Whats wrong with me?! is my youth getting the best of me? I think so. After a year taking my piercings off and getting taunted for being tattooed and in the forces, im leaving this freaking job. 23 years old me doesn't need a job like that. Im meant for something better that keeps me happy. I wouldn't go as far as saying fuck the police though, we DO need them.
If Tom Gabel claims that the revolution is a lie, in his intentionally controversial song "Teenage Anarchist," then it must be an innate truth to which I must adhere. I therefore repudiate my desire for society to transcend (aufhebung) its ubiquitous state of alienation, exploitation, and disempowerment, and fully embrace the capitalist mode of production.
can we all vote down that arrow to the knee joke from the top comment please. its a disgrace to the video and this song that some stupid childish joke thats not even funny somehow got up there.
Gotta love it when all the teens think they know everything and call for anarchy. They'd be the first crying for help when they realized how fucked up things would be.
you know... anarchy is what we dream of, but one day i will come to my senses. remember i think it was thomas jefferson, but isnt it that every generation has a rebellion and thats why they set up the constitution so rebelious people of the United States could take the power in their own hands but have a doctrin to go by so they could reshape what was already made to their liking.( i know my spellings bad i dont really care)
@lukas1051 Never mind that it has worked and continues to work today...but to learn this, you'd have to do a little research...or maybe a read a god damn book...
@AnarchyDavey Like in war-torn, pirate infested Somalia? This song is a perfect representation of teenage rebel culture, everybody has these feelings when they're young, but as people mature they realise that anarchy can never work, it's just idealistic thinking. These rebellious urges crop up, but never substantiate. Clearly you've not yet reached this stage. I'm not going to have a political discussion with a teenager who no doubt derives all of their opinions from punk music and blog posts.
@lukas1051 There was a time when bourgeois "democracy" was just an "idealistic" concept, with measures being taken by the ruling classes to repress it, in order to perpetuate their position of privilege.The assertion that the masses are too "ignorant" to directly manage their own affairs has become extremely tiresome.Somalia is far from being an example of a Libertarian Socialist society.Clearly, your knowledge of political science and revolutionary history/movements is impoverished.
Look up the Spanish Revolution, CNT/FAI had the entire area of Catalonia and surrounding countryside set up to anarchist principles, and economics worked fine. They just lost the fight against fascists, partly because the communists betrayed them but also lack of weapons.
Obviously there is rebellious teen scenes of "anarchists" and hipster fucks making mockery. But they are fakes and care nothing more then how people look and think of them. The effects of capitalism..
this song bothers me. against me was always so strong in their messages regarding anarchism and politics in general, their first album is just fucking great while the other albums were also good in their own regards. but now it just seems like he's giving up the fight, just because things look bad doesn't mean we should give in to society/authority. dont get me wrong im a cynical asshole myself. but im not going to just give up on my ideals

@AEgamesFtw I think you are over exaggerating with the comment "planting evidence and imprisoning kids for smoking dope". i don't think you would do so well if you were lets say raped and needed police help. if i were a cop after hearing your views i would just leave you to rot in the basement of some pedophyle.

@JoeatA7X No... I'm not. Do your research. The police in certain areas get their bonuses etc only if they fufil a certain quota of arrests. It's common practice for them to plant evidence to reach this. And A LOT of kids are imprisoned for smoking weed.... 1 in 100 of the US adult population is in jail...that's 20% more than Russia (the second leading in that category) and it grew at a ridiculous rate in the last few years alone.

yes i do remember. this is my all time fav song. if the goverment didnt piss off so many people they would be no anarchists. i myself am a fellow anarchist but i belive that there is not enough anarchist head on the same subject at the same time. one group is saying "stick it to the war" and another is "stick it to captilisum" if we all focus on one thing at a time the revolution wouldnt be a lie. and to the official music vid i say fuck police brutality. if we all come together we may win.

After a year taking my piercings off and getting taunted for being tattooed and in the forces, im leaving this freaking job. 23 years old me doesn't need a job like that. Im meant for something better that keeps me happy. I wouldn't go as far as saying fuck the police though, we DO need them.

If Tom Gabel claims that the revolution is a lie, in his intentionally controversial song "Teenage Anarchist," then it must be an innate truth to which I must adhere. I therefore repudiate my desire for society to transcend (aufhebung) its ubiquitous state of alienation, exploitation, and disempowerment, and fully embrace the capitalist mode of production.

you know... anarchy is what we dream of, but one day i will come to my senses. remember i think it was thomas jefferson, but isnt it that every generation has a rebellion and thats why they set up the constitution so rebelious people of the United States could take the power in their own hands but have a doctrin to go by so they could reshape what was already made to their liking.( i know my spellings bad i dont really care)

AnarchyDavey 1 month ago
@AnarchyDavey Like in war-torn, pirate infested Somalia? This song is a perfect representation of teenage rebel culture, everybody has these feelings when they're young, but as people mature they realise that anarchy can never work, it's just idealistic thinking. These rebellious urges crop up, but never substantiate. Clearly you've not yet reached this stage. I'm not going to have a political discussion with a teenager who no doubt derives all of their opinions from punk music and blog posts.
lukas1051 1 month ago
@lukas1051 There was a time when bourgeois "democracy" was just an "idealistic" concept, with measures being taken by the ruling classes to repress it, in order to perpetuate their position of privilege.The assertion that the masses are too "ignorant" to directly manage their own affairs has become extremely tiresome.Somalia is far from being an example of a Libertarian Socialist society.Clearly, your knowledge of political science and revolutionary history/movements is impoverished.
nomdeplum815 1 month ago
@lukas1051
Look up the Spanish Revolution, CNT/FAI had the entire area of Catalonia and surrounding countryside set up to anarchist principles, and economics worked fine. They just lost the fight against fascists, partly because the communists betrayed them but also lack of weapons.
Obviously there is rebellious teen scenes of "anarchists" and hipster fucks making mockery. But they are fakes and care nothing more then how people look and think of them. The effects of capitalism..
