Crass - Demoncrats

[nw11]

Their records were brilliant,looked like a book with posters etc...Highly political and satirical,love them.

Still have my record,warr song was my favourite.

[insect66]

anarchy is for posers

[akling2011]

Is this what a whole album by these guys sounds like? Do they blame Christians for the Holocaust?

[omerta0414]

@Omnicron777 Amen brother.

[nymetsrock]

@thatfukinfreakshow wait, what

[LostinKashmir]

@Omnicron777

Thank you for having knowledge and speaking the truth.

[KarenRamone00]

awesome

[nymetsrock]

i dont agree with a lot of democrats, but i have to say, they arent as bad as republicans.

[fistpunxoioi]

Love this!

[iRasDavidi]

Free your mind and your ass will following. You can fool all the people some of the time. You can even fool some of the people all the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time.

[8770snake]

Bloody brilliant. Bands today don't have the balls to cover topics like this.

[mmmmmska]

@8770snake seriously

[negativecreep420]

i never said the ussr was stateless or classless.....

[mediattackrecords]

f*ck this is one of their loudest compositions.

[mediattackrecords]

great art in this video

[mediattackrecords]

@mediattackrecords

its unbelievable

Crass overall was not a real threat to Punk or the Blues. You got it all wrong.

[mediattackrecords]

i think crass is the ultimate shock pop rock band even if they had no serious race about it they sure were willing to help out governments for cash from chaos. anarchism is totally a practical joke in pop and rock music even rock 'n' roll and all arts. i think alot of punk missed the boat that the joke wasn't about fun. it was way sad like a crying laugh to find some work when conservatives started failing to provide.

[SKIMLURKER]

you know what, politics is a part of life and people need to wake up an smell the dead body's cause tomorrow nothings gonna change unless you want it to.so respect your principles and your opinion!

[mmkhlic]

wtf... this isnt music, this is a form of brainwashing

[XxFourTwentyxX]

@mmkhlic turn on your tv and radio. There you go! Brainwashing. This however is not.

[liger12332]

Really all idealised utopian forms of government, from communism to capitalism, all end in an anarchic end with no centralised power base. If this is the case why make the distiction between utopian political theories? This has always been what I consider one of the greatest assets of anarchism; it can be whatever you want it to be and through free debate and discussion one can equate fair decision making rather than sticking to one unbending code of conduct.

[falleinloveshoes7]

You know what....Fuck politics.

[Krimewave186]

Good work.

[dakotadmh62]

fuck democrats

[77Conzilla]

dude its to bad that people are to violent for anarchy

[peacewithoutthestate]

@77Conzilla "John Burroughs has stated that experimental study of animals in captivity is absolutely useless. Their character, their habits, their appetites undergo a complete transformation when torn from their soil in field and forest. With human nature caged in a narrow space, whipped daily into submission, how can we speak of its potentialities?" -Emma Goldman

[skulldrix]

@77Conzilla Well that's a very mislead statement. If the human race is to violent for anarchy then we would have killed eachother off pre-historic.

[skulldrix]

@77Conzilla Well that's a very mislead statement. If the human race is to violent for anarchy then we would have killed eachother off pre-historic.

Humans are too violent for government and power. I mean, look at how those in authority are violent.

[libertr33]

@77Conzilla too bad america is too violent for americanocracy

[khoroshoorange]

@77Conzilla

i wouldnt say that... you just need to fight the big mans propaganda and reality whitewash.

[pirateXsatellite]

or the protestants with their, "it doesn't matter if i'm the biggest cunt going, i believe in christ jesus and therefore i am saved!" which, if you've ever read the gospels, you'll find is completely in conflict and illogical. why would he have bothered telling us to be generous, give to the poor, not to divorce and love everyone if it didn't matter? they should make songs about blind believers and not attack jesus.

[pirateXsatellite]

I hate this band for throwing insults at Jesus when it's the stupid fuckers who will prance around doing whatever they want in his name, even if it's precisely what he commanded them not to that are doing all the harm. People who say "I am a Chrisitan" but have never read or understood his teachings (and I have met SO MANY). Or they'll ignore His teachings for those of the church which are usually in conflict with each other... such as Augustine's "just war" concept...

[pirateXsatellite]

Mathew 5:38 "You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.' 39But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. 41If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. 42Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you."

So many people talking about anarchy and communism and socialism... none of you have ever witnessed what actually goes on. You all live in either a democracy or a constitutional monarchy. Go live under anarchy or communism or socialism, or "communal anarchy" or whatever, then you will actually know what you are talking about.

[nalgaface123456789]

was 9/11 an inside joba and is alex jones credible? Im confused

[SASNIGHTCRAWLER]

Survival of the biggest, watch your backs, China's a comin, Commy = control with equalibrium, Democrazy,=control with bribary ...and Dictator....a loonatic with an army.

End product of each othe the above...your ripped off, watched, controled, abused and most of all realy realy unhappy...solutions to this are..find another planet to live on, and watch the whole thing play out again..why? humanity cant control itself..simple. :) the solution to no solution for humanity is imminenet extinction

[tmill909]

the government calls us to duty. As anarchists it is us that must do the work of change. How do anarchists work for the government you may ask? Well as their laws are unjust it is us that must do the clockwork of the rebellion. And that my friends is how change is achieved. The control we fight against keeps the machine greased. the government uses rebellion in its papers, to spin the counter-culture towards bondage and slavery.

[gotfouryearstolive]

anarchist socialism. dont make me laugh.

[rostockattitude]

fuck off hippies shit!

real punk is street punk!

[tra93]

If your wonder how communism and Anarchism go together think of Communism right?Now there isn't a leader, revolution or Dictatorship of the Bourgeois.Now we as Anarcho-Communist have mostly Communist Values but with some Anarchism No leaders ,No Law's,No Gods,No Capitalism So on and so on

Just look it up

[gatofritz]

El anarco-socialismo no existe, quizá estás confundiéndolo con el anarco-comunismo.

[PunkPobi101]

Socialism Anarchist

[mckeegaunt]

Anarcho-communism is distinct from communism, it rejects the need for previous revolutions of the proles or middle class and just goes for straight out pure communism, without a state or leader.

Anarchism is a fluid theory of society, without leaders, you can organise however you want, from communes to idividual hermits, whatever you want.

[IINebuchadnezzar]

I can appreciate this more than ever. It's very brilliant. There's too many words involved to describe why it is ; Great art ... and music...and lyrics...etc. and .....

[AntiAntagonizing]

did they write this or is it an old poem?????

[negativecreep420]

@davegangrena, communism and anarchy dont mix well at all, there is communal anarchism, but most anarchists are bitter about russia, thousands of anarchists were murdered by the communist officers.

[GunsOnRoof]

Although many realise that the ideals that communists (anti soviet) and anarchists hold are similar. In protests and marches, you will often see them march side by side without prejudice.

[Akumetsu1000]

im actually a communist anarchist

[970punk]

Im not trying to be an asshole or anything. im simply curious on how you could be a communist anarchist. I just dont wee how they could go together. Explain?

[JordoAnarcho]

@negativecreep420

I'm horrified how somebody can talk in such a way that they appear to be feigning knowledge, when they're so blatantly ignorant but will trap people who know no better.

Communists, that is to say the belief in communism (rather than a member of a communist party) believe what is often called in Marxist terms 'Pure Communism' - which is a stateless, classless society (anarchy) based on the communist maxim.

Marxists and Anarchist Communists just disagree on how to get there..

[deathtotheism]

@negativecreep420 But russia was not true communism. Marxists communism has never been achieved on a nation wide scale.

[Fallinldols]

@deathtotheism And the west has never been true free market capitalism. This way everyone says that socialism/communism and capitalism is fascism but when its fascism the whole system is a fraud. We have never seen anything but fascism and secret elites dictating and controlling presidents like puppets on every side of the fake political spectrum for world policy and total greed. Whom ever doesn't go along with the satanist agenda usually gets taken out by the anglo saxon countries or CIA.

[deathtotheism]

@Fallinldols Do you have any idea what satanism is?? Trust me it has nothing to do with our Theocratic Fascist God Fearing government.

[Fallinldols]

@deathtotheism It really does. And this isn't coming from a christian. I pretty much agree with your name, death to theism, even Atheism. We must spiritually evolve from the mind shackles that bounds us from thinking of the greater metaphysical plain. But satanism is the esoteric agenda behind all of government shit. The Rothschilds, Rockefellers, Bushs etc are proclaimed in it. Its sounds totally out there but they have histories of blood sacrifice, torture, pedophilia etc.

[deathtotheism]

@Fallinldols Satanism is not about sacrifices and pedophilia, Christianity is. Satanism is about personal freedom. Have you read the satanic bible?? There's so much suffering in the world because humans as we know them are a failed species. Humanity is weak and most of us cling to Gods or Governments to save us from the unknown. That's why the worlds the way it is. I know so much about the secret society shit. I use to be big into that until i realized its just another scapegoat.

[Fallinldols]

@deathtotheism Blamming christianity is the biggest scapgoat of all. Weak people that don't want to dive further into the truth usually do this. But its all a fairytale and it really boils down the individual.Most people don't know the truth so they are misinformed and brainwashed.Religious or not. Most peoples religion is the tv and hollywood and their job and other useless shit. But the governments are not religious in anyway. You have to realize this. They are athiests.There religion is power

[deathtotheism]

@Fallinldols I didn't blame Christianity I blamed the failed species that is humanity. Humanity is splitting into a weak Theist minded (that means anyone who has the sheepish attitude to follow Gods AND Governments) self destructive race on one side, and the Ubermensch on the other.

[pirateXsatellite]

@deathtotheism ubermensch.. pfft. 

[deathtotheism]

@pirateXsatellite I find your rebuttal very compelling. Please continue to wow us with your intelligent arguments.

[pirateXsatellite]

@deathtotheism i find your patronizing sarcasm impressive, coming from a

41 year old. please continue to believe in fanciful delusions.

[deathtotheism]

@pirateXsatellite You're the one that believes in an invisible man in the sky who's existence is less credible than Santa Clause you delusional dumbass.

[pirateXsatellite]

@deathtotheism all you've done is replaced one delusion with another.

[deathtotheism]

@pirateXsatellite No I haven't you fucking idiot. Please explain in scientific terms how we are all equal. If you can prove to me that we are equal in every aspect of life and that certain humans could never evolve out of the flock then I will admit i'm delusional. So there you go prove me wrong.

[pirateXsatellite]

@deathtotheism a) swearing and insults do not make your argument look any more credible. b) i don't recall debunking the idea of characteristic inequalities between humans. i remember rejecting the ubermensch concept. these are the the same thing. i read nietzsche religiously during my teens so i do have some idea about what i'm talking about. anyway, you've proved yourself not worth debating with. i hope you overcome whatever crisis you're in and find happiness. ta ta.

[pirateXsatellite]

@pirateXsatellite correction: i meant to say these are NOT the same thing.

[deathtotheism]

@pirateXsatellite You've proven yourself too afraid to debate me because you know you are wrong.

[pirateXsatellite]

@deathtotheism .... oh absolutely. you couldn't be more right. . . except i find it impossible to be "right" about the ubermensch... it's not like a "thing" to be proven... it's a romantic dream of the height of power and masculnity, a product of the ideals of the time-period; conjured up in the mind of a demented man who was plagued with thoughts of suicide, who lived a life of physical suffering and emotional torment... “The need to be right is the sign of a vulgar mind.” - Albert Camus.

[deathtotheism]

@pirateXsatellite The Ubermensch is the idea of someone overcoming the herd through intelligence NOT masculinity. Where the fuck do you get the idea that Nietzsche was demented? Maybe he had thoughts of suicide because he had to live around dumb fucking people like you. I love to be proven wrong by the way, I strive for it. It means that I have learned something new, but you haven't proved me wrong yet.

[pirateXsatellite]

@deathtotheism i would think that someone who had dement-ia would be pretty dement-ed. and i would have thought that an overcomer would never consider suicide. suicide is a surender, being unable to cope, not accomplishment, victory... haha! you strive to be proven wrong... that's the most stupid thing i've ever heard. lol. "what do you want to be when you grow up?" "wrong". bwahaha. that you are my bigoted friend. i will be wasting my time no longer. i hope i'm not as pittiful as u at your age.

[deathtotheism]

@pirateXsatellite I never said I strive to be proven wrong I said I love when I am proven wrong because it just means I learned something new. Learn to read dumbshit. Nietzsche never wrote any of his books while he had dementia. Suicide is just a reaction to being overwhelmed by societies bullshit. There's nothing weak about it. Dumb people will never have a reason to kill themselves because they are happy in their ignorance.

[deathtotheism]

@pirateXsatellite Also, there's nothing wrong with the need to be right. It only means that you will be more open to differing opinion because you are striving to find the truth. If you don't need to be right then you might as well believe in God.

[noobishdumbberry]

@deathtotheism About equality.. I find that we are equal in the true fact that we are all human. We may be scientifically unequal ( i.e. physical strengths, range of knowledge, mental ailments, etc) , but we are all people.

[Fallinldols]

@deathtotheism Look up secret societies like skull n bones, freemasonry, bohemian grove,illuminati. They have been behind the scenes funding both sides of every war since WW1 and i think before that too. War, famine and manufactured disease like AIDS are there tools for their eugenics nightmare. I know its hard to ascertain, but the answer isn't easy if your looking into why is their so much human suffrage in the world. It aint incompetence.

[Capz541]

@negativecreep420 I know I'm replying to this late, but I haven't seen your comment. I believe in true communism, not the kind that these fascists use as a mask so they can gain power. In an anarcho-communist society all the people would work together in the true sense of communism without a figurehead to exploit and subjugate the peoples. I doubt that's what Karl Marx wanted.

[fuzzBart]

@negativecreep420 exactly and all forms of govt. will only be perverted by those who want power.

[BPCpresents]

@negativecreep420 not thousands - millions of PEOPLE - anarchists or not. Communism/Socialism/Fascism has killed more than the mosquito. ALL politics like religion subtract everyones power and produces nothing. I don't care who gets into power - ALL are parasite Elite Groups - ALL . When will people start believing in their own being because thats what you've got nothing else. Existence exists. When will people get rid of the stupid leaders that creates a mystical fog around their own life!

[noobishdumbberry]

@negativecreep420 true communism has no government or murdering officers... they are not truly communist. communism is like anarchy with a group of people agreeing on a bartering system. Thousands of anarchists were murdered by communist officers who were crazy about keeping negative thoughts against them out. They were murdered out of nationalism and the want of control, not out of communism.

[XxFourTwentyxX]

@negativecreep420 Communism itself is fascism. Anarcho-communism is a horizontal network of voluntary associations and workers' councils with production and consumption based on the guiding principle. Saying communism and anarchy don't mix well is like saying peas and carrots taste like shit together. When actually they go quiet well when combined.

[1stAma]

@negativecreep420 Never heard of Anarcho-communism or anrarcho-syndicalism??

[tauresule]

@negativecreep420

Really, isn't having a communist 'officer' an oxymoron? True communism has never existed, and I tell myself this when I think of Russia and China and North Vietnam because those are the places I think of when I think of communism. I have my reservations about communism, but it could work. Anarcho-communism is better than a lot of what we have now at least.

[mediattackrecords]

@negativecreep420

Yeah, I think there is some connection to vegan brutality and communism actually from the past also. I'm not racially-prejudiced or speciesist. Oh well. Go vegan. Save your life.

[mediattackrecords]

@mediattackrecords

there is some economic conservative hope in skin-grafic studies for science but I think you're better off economically by skipping free health care and just going vegan. yeah, so what. whatever. noone will listen.

[mediattackrecords]

@mediattackrecords its mostly in human studies. i think communism failed cause the leaders were racist pig eaters all anticapitalist political races fail as much as capitalism.

[dead0piggy]

@mediattackrecords I don't think there is a 'perfect form of government' as long as humans are fallible, so to are all systems of rule.

[HeadHunteR1988]

@negativecreep420 real communism is libertarian/antiauthoritarian/­anarchist communism and not marxism/leninism like soviet union.

[Ansuz92]

@negativecreep420 How was the USSR, stateless or classless? It was smoke and mirrors dictatorship telling the workers that they were in a worker's state, when it wasn't. Not much different then our modern democracy pretending to be free. :)

[SAOS451316]

@negativecreep420 You're confusing Communism and Marxist-Leninism.

[retared88]

@negativecreep420 Russian communism started out strong and proud and to have a anarchist country you must first have a united group like the USSR who fight against the reform of the Nazis and Catholics. Although poorly run communism is the lesser of two evils.

[davegangrena]

marx was a comunist right?

mmmmm

and the comunist and da punks are "friends" ¬¬ im wrong?

if the comunism and the anarky and the punks are "friends" so to say

im wrong?

[lordSabazios666]

@davegangrena ,well you're right but there is a small conflict between communists and anarchists. it was simply because the 3rd step of communism was actually anarchy, but before that, in the first and second steps of communism, it is proposed that there should be a leader, or so -called governement in order to filter and get rid of feudalism,capitalism nd the concept of private proerty and territory,by force if not by peace. anarchists just can not accept the idea of governing at all.

[toto3777]

I think you mean Marxism, and communism with a state can't be considered communism at all in my opinion, it's just a dictatorship.

And by the third step, do you mean Marx's Dictatorship of the Proletariat or something? If so, read some of Bakunin's work, he adamantly refused it claiming that the ones in power during that time will not give up their power once the revolution and its aftermath are finished.

[lordSabazios666]

@toto3777 , not exatly, dictatorship of the proletariat is actually the second step; a sort of socialism being a first step here. The third step is when the so called leaders give up their power: that's when anarchy comes in because there's no government anymore. now that's what bakounine wants, he wants to pass to the third step directly (anarchy) because he believes that once these people hold power they will never give it up

[toto3777]

Ah, thanks for clarifying, that's what I was trying to say at first, they will not give up their power.

[lordSabazios666]

@toto3777 , which i agree with bakounine, i mean look at staline an shit..it was basically a regime

[Armegatron]

@toto3777 Karl Marx believed in a society where the proletierat would rise against the middle class and rule themselves, eventually a commune like society would grow and government would eventually disapear,

to add on to what you were saying

[toto3777]

That's mostly anarcho-communism, in a Marxist society after the revolution occurs there would be a Dictatorship of the Proletariat where there would be a dictatorship as the name suggests.

The thing is that power corrupts, and the ones assigned as the dictators during that time will not give up their power. Look at Stalin and the other "communist" countries for example. They started disaster upon another.

Anarcho-communism and Marxism are the same, but the way to achieve said goal differs.

[lordSabazios666]

in other words, the first and last step of anarchy is the actual third step of communism

[george1punk2]

so clever of them

[68Strut]

On the 'Feeding of the 5000' vinyl record, this song is entitled 'Asylum' On my 'Stations of the CRASS vinyl, it is called DEMONCRATS, 2nd song,side 3. Thank you for posting this video, and thank you for helping me analyze it.

@panzerfausto

yeah i agree

[RockstarRacc00n]

this is Reality Asylum, not Demoncrats...

[RockstarRacc00n]

No, I'm an idiot, I was wrong, this IS Demoncrats. Reality Asylum has lines like "Jesu, Whorefucker. He forgives? SHIT He Forgives!", making its subject obvious, this isn't it. It sounds the same, but the words aren't as awesome. XD

[LateralUS1381]

how did you get 3 thumbs up for that? lol

[RockstarRacc00n]

I have no idea....

[roflwafflex123]

this the shit i dont get why do ppl blame god for bad history T_T

[blackestcracker]

God's not being blamed. It's Christianity that's being criticized here, and we all know Christianity has nothing to do with God :)

[LateralUS1381]

i know im late.

but, its not nessarily GOD, it is the instituion of religion. Zealots and the like. Just read on the inquisition, the crusades, and also take a look at how many was were fought and are being fought right now over the bible.

[MOBRIEN1234567]

anyone else think crass would be better without the female singer? i find her vocals rely annoying

[xerhoss]

Wouldn't be the same. To each his own, i suppose, but personally i like what she adds to the mix.

[castingtherunes]

Very Inspiring.

[Rayelth]

Very Strong and moving images... I like it.

[capskates]

bit brainwashing haha but  the crass are great

[VOC2006]

Wow...that was nice.

[Ricardo72]

They said that we were trash, well the name is Crass, not Clash.

[jndnbrr]

Kind of funny you should make that comment because steve ignorant and other crass members were huge fans of THE CLASH!

[Ricardo72]

Yeah, that wasn't the most appropriate comment. Sorry.

[RockstarRacc00n]

Pah!  Crass is still so much BETTER than the Clash, so it doesn't matter!

[jndnbrr]

[icanownyouinhalo2]

i dont see what slaves and stuff has to do with being a democrat. sure they were once racists but i really dont think that has anything to do with it. and queens and kings are exact opposite of democrocy.
