China is capitalist. The business they own happens to be called China.

[CESdrums]

muy bueno!!!!

[mitsukai89]

China is also national socialist, thats why they dont want foreign companies in their country.

[vejaji2]

@mitsukai89 More State capitalist with protectionist policy, they have foreign companies in their country.

[firestarter000001]

Honestly i love the music /the emotions but I dont agree at all with the lyrics meaning.I think that the true good is to build not destroy. Violent revolutions , killing.. i dont know it dont see it achieveing anything good.Look at history all the great communist revolutions of old, russia, Cuba , african countries,Zimbabwe of not so long ago, all it created is more poverty and a new elite thats sucking the countries dry.

[firestarter000001]

I say build stuff earn money, build your power inside system , unite and then change the law , change your country.Destruction is easiest but then what.Im no pacificst and i believe when somebody try to hurt you you should kick back , but killing to change a system , i dont know.

And trust me Comunism is bad okay. Im from Poland i know what im talking about, thank god we have overthrown it bloodlesly some 20 years ago.IT never worked for any country...

[ogself]

killing the tape!!! should stop with stupid comments!!!

[redgramscian]

music good, ideology better, rebellion is the best

terrorism is illusion. creation of state power. the real source of terrorism is the state power which opresses millions of masses all around the world.

[redgramscian]

music good, ideology better, rebellion is the best

[alabvix]

Music is very good, but ideology sucks.

[halflifeproductionz]

what a joke, naxalites are terrorists. although i agree with some of the naxalite philosophy such as no religion.

[dpvirk]

@halflifeproductionz

and America, Israel, France, Great Britain, etc. aren't terrorist states? I think you'll find that every government participates in terrorism to some level.

[halflifeproductionz]

@dpvirk some do more than others.

[dpvirk]

@halflifeproductionz

But the Indian Government as we know it has a history of terrorism, so why not replace them with the naxalites-at least their ideology is sincere, even if they're not.

[halflifeproductionz]

@dpvirk naxalites are maoists!! they follow the ideology of the master murderer mao tse tung. the biggest terrorist!

[dpvirk]

@halflifeproductionz

China wouldn't be where it is today without Mao. Also, Mao wasn't directly responsible for the deaths of 45 million Chinese people, rather it was the famine which occured because he messed up. And by ideology, I meant communism. How many millions have been murdered by America? the country was founded on the graves of millions of Indians and on the bones of several civilisations. Capitalist America has killed many more the Mao did.

[dpvirk]

@firestarter000001

when did i talk about indians being killed retard? and cuba and north korea were never communist. Cuba was socialist, and North Korea was National Socialist. Get your facts right mate

[DefTheMarxist]

@dpvirk plus famines like that were normal in China all through history, they only stopped after China built up its industrial capabilities.

[dpvirk]

@DefTheMarxist

exactly! :D

[coolbird666999]

fuck the naxalites.

Im in favour of a socialist idealist society and I'm fine with anyones political views but this is fucking stupid. it's like capitalists trying to rise up in cuba, North Korea and old soviet russia.

fuck this band too, not real dub.

[viking004]

5 people are imperialist capitalist pigs :)

[photographreek]

I'm sorry but I love my mom dearly and had to post this

Ur mum will pass away

But post this into 10 vids and she wont

[artstuX]

@photographreek

What you mean she'll be immortal, like some kind of vampire or zombie or something???

You don't give any kind of timescale, sonny. You should be more specific when you spam.

[photographreek]

@artstuX

it seems as if something happened while I wasn't paying attention at the computer. I don't post spam like that, and it bewilders me how that happened. So for that I apologize...

As for your low blow "ad hominem" attack on me... Let's not get too caught up in spam posts, anyway. They are spam, after all. There is no need for belittlement or even an acknowledgement.

Thank you.

[artstuX]

@photographreek

Well I don't regret making the comment I did; the original comment was a thoroughly disgusting thing to post & deserved to be pilloried. However, seeing as you didn't make the post yourself, it wasn't aimed at you, so don't take it personally.

It might be wise to report the fact that someone accessed your account to YouTube or to tighten up access to your PC though.

[ashevillecat]

From Wikipedia: The word Naxal, Naxalite or Naksalvadi is a generic term used to refer to militant Communist groups operating in different parts of India under different organizational envelopes. In the eastern states of the mainland India (Bihar, West Bengal and Orissa), they are usually known as, or refer to themselves as Maoists while in southern states like Kerala they are known under other titles.

[Kabla21]

@ashevillecat Naxalbadi is a little village in North Bengal from where the red rebellion started in 70s. Farmers of that village started an armed rebellion against Indian govt. Which spread all over the Bengal ..Indian government suppressed it by killing thousands of students and communists without any trial. Some were encountered and some were kidnapped and murdered. Even students who were just leftists were brutally tortured.

[Bummelz]

love that classic tune!!!

[kaRanRoyaLjaNissaRy]

I respect the Naxal movement ...

I M with them ..

[kdcruz75]

@shankyxyz

India is still under british admiralty law ..its central bank is not owned by the govt..a debtor cannot own a creditor...

the indian navy still flies the britsh admiralty flag ..with the red cross ...the same signa that was flown by the mass murderer and pirate , vasco da gama ..

all nations are corporations working under the yolk of vatican and its european preist kings..

utube : US is a britsh corporation

[AsianDubFoundation1]

We are NOT pacifist in ADF and never have been.However , Naxalite is not pro or anti as such ; the idea behind it (and also "Assassin" ) was to de-ghandify perceptions of Indian history , as when adf started the stereotype was very passsive/hippy orientated."Naxalite" was an attempt to reposition and challenge such perceptions .

[pogeroo82]

@AsianDubFoundation1

Thanks for your message, i'm just a passing reader who happened to see you at numerous places over the yrs (Lizard Fest,Cornwall, Some colledge building nr Woolwich?) and always was and still am, a fan.

Assassin is probably my fave ADF track as it sounds so dark and punk (my usual music)

Respect for making such beautiful sounds anyway :)

[bachelorfox]

@AsianDubFoundation1 you don't believe in settling things peacefully?

[comunistermen]

NAXALIST FOR FREEDOMM!!

[gyubbi]

[kaneabc12345]

i dont care what it means tbh love the tune

[AzerChristians]

Rise up Naxalites... Fight the oppressions and discrimination from New Delhi

[ButherLi55ett]

@AzerChristians Perhaps if you organised at work and took action yourself would be better idea than cheering from the sidelines a violent action which probably hurts more peasants and workers' than actual state armed bodies of men or institutions furthermore bring more oppressive laws and reactionary actions from the state.

[AzerChristians]

@ButherLi55ett you have NO idea what I do or don't do for the cause of the oppressed and those who suffer from the abusers around the world.

CASTE must be destroyed completely. Only armed struggles against the oppressors can correct this "CENTURIES" long injustice. China did it....painfully.... as millions died during its "revolution", but maybe ... just maybe... the END justifies the MEANS that brought the results.

Political power only comes from the barrel of a gun.

[ButherLi55ett]

@AzerChristians Fuck sake, you really are a raving Stalinist aren't you! Yes, of course caste and all other hierarchies etc must be overcome. But killing people doesn't necessarily do this. To a large extent it can retrench these things and bring new reactionary movements and ideology etc.

[ButherLi55ett]

The means do not justify...nothing is abstract in that everything has context and very real circumstances and consequences. Where does religious fundamentalism come from, what causes it? I think a large part of the answer lies in a reaction to strategy and tactics you are proposing. Fair enough, I don't know what you do. I should have asked are you doing anything yourself, for example organising workers' or unemployed etc.

[AzerChristians]

@ButherLi55ett If Killing the oppressed seem trendy for centuries, what's wrong with killing the oppressors?

Political power in India can ONLY be gained from the barrel of a gun. Doing NOTHING is to allow CASTE to continue. Thus, you become just as criminal as those who setup CASTE in the first place.

[AzerChristians]

@ButherLi55ett Therefore, join the Naxalites, give them support, then YOUR CHILDREN may live FREE. There is no point to "TALK" when the TALKERS have all the resources and political power ! Time to destory CASTE for FREEDOM for India's future generations.

[cyclonus67]

@BraveMartin if you didnt exist in this world, i think i'd be happier. Just a little.

[ichwir]

[OneLove5436]

India's wealth is distributed only amongst the 0.1% of the population (Mostly North Indians)!

Naxalites UNITE! We are gonna make an egalitarian and prosperous society! FUCK India, and it's shitty government!

The People must rebel!

Rise up against Indian Imperialism! We gotta take over!

[vishvnath]

madarchodo.....pahle samjho to sahi "what is naxalism"

badchodi band karo....

[taadhi2003]

If sri lanka can eradicate militants why don't india take steps to finish this menace in india ?

Home grown terrorism (naxal ) is big threat in india. who will take inititate to tackle this issue ?let's see

Politically motivated parties will not do anything , eneryone know that.

Jai hind

Jai bharat

[rohanramesh123]

@taadhi2003 Because u fool it is the rural populace, villagers, tribals who are supporting the Naxals against our governments oppression. Please read and do some research. Naxals are supported by the poorest of the poor, thats the reason the govt can't do anything. The only way to beat Naxals is by developing our rural areas and empowering the rural populace, tribals etc.

[sharingideas]

India is a democratic country & it must not allow terrorist groups like the Naxalites to infiltrate the poor communities for their own agenda, such as power. They're fighting for different causes than the ones they promote. Every man and woman is born in different settings, and they're given a choice to better themselves as an individual or a group of people. Don't blame it on the government for your plight. Work together as a community, voice your concerns ethically & the world will hear you.

[ButherLi55ett]

@sharingideas What is this 1984? You're a spokesperson for 'liberal democracy'? Or are you an actual CIA hack lol. Jesus.

[sharingideas]

India needs to take a serious look at other terrorist groups around the world, such as in Venezuela & Colombia, & other countries. Poor people are the ones who are used for terrorists' purposes to gain strength & acceptance with the public. The Indian government needs to strengthen its military & policeforce & eradicate these terrorist groups else the people of India will not feel safe in their own land & democracy in India will be jeopardized and communism will take over. China is smiling.

[kurtwilde4]

@sharingideas sure the indian government controls like 90% of the land right?...why don't they carry out the reforms that help the poor?

[stenky9]

i admit that i never knew if this song is PRO or CONTRA naxalism.... but due to ADF's pacifist nature i reckon it is against.... am i right?

[redstar1949]

it is very pro-naxalite.

[ashevillecat]

@stenky9 Are you serious? ADF is more like the disillusioned pacifist.. For example, from "Rebel Warrior": "Check my anger, it's real Ain't no token I'll be satisfied only when your back's been broken It's my burning ambition to burn down your empire Man i'll be building you a funeral pyre" Or TH9: "There are many different languages spoken in this land But only one language that the fascist understand Why don't you Kick the fuckers in the head" BTW, its PRO: "Cos me a naxalite warrior"

[stenky9]

@ashevillecat yes, it makes sense.

[duff139]

@stenky9 Sute it is pro Naxalite. Check the lyrics here (on poemhunter for example)

Because, I am just a naxalite warrior

Fighting for survival and equality

[maximuzjams]

@ashevillecat

> "ADF is more like the disillusioned pacifist"

+100500!

so many people ina Earth like ADF

[ElectricRudeGirl]

@ashevillecat sorry but, what the word "naxalite" means? sorry but i can't find the meaning of it in my dictionary.. ;)

[MyGwendel]

@ashevillecat anyone who fights against oppression is a naxalite warrior.

[goirick]

@stenky9

And we have taken the power

And the land is ours

And we have taken the power

And the land is ours

Because I am just a naxalite warrior

Fighting for survival and equality

Police man beating up me, my brother and my father

My mother crying can't believe this reality and your still confused? :)

[parthsna]

Naxals are on their way to extinction. Hang, draw and quarter everyone of them. Do the same with their supporters and sympathizers. They are a cancer to society. They seek to destroy every institution and system that our ancestors have painfully established through 1000s of years of labour and learning. They will fail, sooner they know it the better.

[flipeicl]

we are the system, you, your family, your parents, siblings, friends, all of us, fighting the system, it is fighting against all these, the system is the spiral of society, not fight the system, use it to your favor, to us favor, to favor of for everyone and everything, for everyone and everything have equal rights to survive, as nature does for us.

we are "marcos", we are "zé", we are "jão", we are zapata, we are pancho, we are zumbi, we are naxalite.

for everyone, everything.

[drmendonsa]

@flipeicl Shit dawg! That comment made my 365 last days!

[Raindropkill]

[parthsna]

Respect to ADF. @Naxalite's- your days are numbered.

[cgs12345]

whatever it be......naxals or wholalala.....

have respect for human lives.....alternativism is not good for a life long occupation....fighting the system is as bad as becoming the system yourself....

Again and again until the land is ours

Again and again until we have taken the power

[bentrader05]

[heavybarz]
