Anti-Flag - Seattle was a Riot

[liquidsk8ter]

Hey I'm a 15 year old guitarist/singer songwriter in junction city Kansas looking for a bassist and drummer

[skabiliz]

die alten alben sind immernoch die besten ;)

[malleusss555]

whooo

[Stierig]

so, could someone explain me how this comes along with the "Land of the Free"?

[theFallenAtreyu]

stop arguing and listen to the damn music who cares if they are communists, or anarchists. They are a great band and they make great music just enjoy the music

[fibbersfan]

I remember standing in Downtown Seattle on this day thinking what a joke all this was! There were people demonstrating that day who actually had knowledge of the issues and were trying to support change! A bunch of mostly out of state kids came in and started breaking everything and trying really hard to get attention. It reminded me of a bunch of frat boys with too much testosterone saying, "look at me". Message lost! A rare occasion when I wish the police would have cracked more heads!

[Beholdthesharktopus]

@fibbersfan I wish this sick ass bassline wasn't attached to such a half-assed message.

[bigben123pl]

stop the new world order 

[drumXskate]

i totally forgot this song...

its great!!!!

[SuperAcab666]

(A) and respect from Denmark

[bosox01201]

Hey Justin Sane there is a reason no political leaders want to hear your voice. YOUR DELUSIONAL! (and your voice is below average)

[villevs]

@bosox01201 no one askt for ur fucking opinion do us all a favor and go fuck yourself

[HeadHunteR1988]

SMASH WTO AND IMF! i live in greece and i am anarchist and when i was saying to the idios here about IMF, WTO and globalisation they were saying to me i am an alien.. now that IMF came here they are crying like bitches! nevermind i will fight with them if they want... STAND UP AGAINST CAPITALISM! IT IS TIME FOR LIBERTARIAN COMMUNISM!

[Streif337]

@HeadHunteR1988

Damn right my friend. you're damn fucking right.

[HeadHunteR1988]

@Streif337 Tnx bro...

[slowdive3030]

I am down for a good old fashion protest, but when the anarchists roll in smashing windows and spray painting anarchy everywhere its just counter productive. the lyrics "why must you riot, why must you protest. Just to be heard by the world", Ironically, all the rioting and protesting did absolutely nothing. just angry people trashing there own city.

[lv71389]

This song is off of fat wreck chords volume 5 compilation its not on an album.

[crazedlover22]

can i download this song anywhere?

[41stEvilOtto41]

the worlds biggest problem are the banks making us pay them for land. we shouldn't have to pay to live.

[Aamonath]

@41stEvilOtto41 I wouldn't say having to pay for land is an injustice, but the fact that property taxes must be payed even after your mortgage has been payed off is kinda stupid.

[OneInNegativeTwo]

I find it ironic that we can only celebrate our freedom on July 4th, then it's back to the factory with you.

[Jerkyboy2169]

this is one of their best songs and theirs only 28,000 views.. thats fucked up ha

[ournationsanswer]

right. they where unarmed just like the ones in toronto right?. bah.

[giutar24]

Oh... @4strokesarejokes I had already moved from Washington at that time. lol.

[4strokesarejokes]

our government is controlled by zionist militant jews bent on fucking America over.

[Nixuebrig]

seeing whats going on on in Greece shows even more that we are all in the claws of some never saturated capitalists, the ones, which where only rescued by all the countries all over the world in the crisis they raised by themself in their hunger for more money. Getting rid of this garbage whould make this planet a better place to live.

[kucndo]

Official?

[giutar24]

i'm from seattle and i don't even remeber the riots or protests i was to young at the time.

[4strokesarejokes]

@giutar24 it was like 1999 or 2000

[ItsDirtyDan]

if it was this hard in seattle how we gunna manage the new world order? or the north american union. were all fucked.

[buts3xxx]

[eddlars]

this isn't the whole song

[OneInNegativeTwo]

If anyone has heard the beginning to this song

were Chris talks about an actual protest that went on, the police chief he speaks of has finally retired. Just thought I'd let some die hard Anti-Flag fans know, cause I bet when that happened yesterday, a certain musical group was probably getting drunk. Haha

[AdamHarrison06]

It's the end of the song and it's Justin who does the talking.

[dannyseansavage]

[ryanswartz]

wto stands for world trade organization and the protests were basically about how the wto was ruining agricultural business in america

[mativa]

protests were about how the wto IS ruining agricultural business in the WORLD.

[Greekriots]

[bLiNk182LyRiCs]

[adx1985]

@zerocoolng

This song was featured on Fat Music, Vol. 5: Live Fat Die Young. Fat Wreck Chords puts out compilations of the bands signed to the label. It has never been released on an Anti-Flag album.

[Elfop1ccolo]

@zerocoolng

it is on fat music vol 5, live fat, die young

if you are into buying or downing it

[ryanswartz]

fuck off, you racist nazi

[Mennismervice]

fuck you

[MississippiMosher]

Precisely how does opposing the WTO make one a communist?

[420bmxer]

what makes them commie fags?

the fact that they sing and talk about freedom that the government can not provide for you

the fact that the government is controlled by people you dont see you think the president has any power? well your tarbly mistaken my friend

and if you think im stupied or sum shit there well your tarbly wrong there to ive been on a computer since ive been basicaly in dipers

and just to tell you the american government is more communest then you think

[itsjustaname4]

@420bmxer Please stop spewing your bullshit and leave the country if you're unhappy with how things are.

[FuckFacts]

@itsjustaname4 Lol... wouldn't it make more sense to kick out all the idiots that are happy with the obviously horrible way things are, and keep all the people who are willing to make a positive change? =D just a thought. Seems to me that the ideal is impossible to reach, but standing still doesn't help anyone. If you think everything is fine, any conversation we might have would be completely pointless.

[sheepthing]

@420bmxer

Uh, America isn't communist at all. Anti-Flag will tell you that if you, you know, listen to their music. You think the WTO protests had anything to do with communism? No, they were a demonstration against the WTO, duh, but also more broadly against CAPITALISM and free trade. Globalization is a capitalist idea.

[bcluke16]

@420bmxer I definently LOL'd

[hereweareentertainus]

@420bmxer i agree with some of what you're saying, but you say tarbly. wtf is that?

[maxcommunist]

@420bmxer

And why are you using homophobic slur at an Anti-Flag video? :L

[PoliSciCP]

@420bmxer If you're going to stand up for something at least do it intelligently and coherently.

[MarkMadnessSH]

@420bmxer No, the American government is not communist in the slightest. You seem to be operating under the assumption that communism is actually a bad thing. I'm afraid to say that this is a propaganda-tactic and manufactured myth to control the people. The politicians will give examples such as China and the USSR, but the truth is these states are not communist. Anti-Flag is an anarchist band, and actually most anarchists are also communists.

[ZIDBULA]

@420bmxer lolAnti-Flag aren't communist.

they'r Anarchist dumbass.

uniting people is SORT OF communist but like 1% 99% of everything else is all Anarchy...

and the usa isn't at all Communist you idiot, they're basically the poster child for Capitalism.

...sigh, fucking kids these days man.

Anarchy and Communist can sort of go hand in hand, but not really at all. because Communism is still someone in power, complete opposite of Anarchist traditions..

i could go on forever but no characters rem

[maxcommunist]

@ZIDBULA

Great comment, but you're incorrect on that under Communism someone is still in power. It's true that we want to use the state after the revolution, but that's the early stage, that's socialism. As time goes, more and more power will go over from the state to the people, and finally the state will dissolve.

So, basically communists and anarchists both have the same ultimate ideal society, a stateless and classless society. We just have different opinions about reaching that:)

[Laidleypunk12]

@maxcommunist I actually only worked this out for myself a few days ago, when talking to some Communists and socialists! My mind was blown!

[cooly1uk]

@Laidleypunk It's all about state control for the Socialists and Commies in the begining. We need to get beyond that. We need to set an example ourselves for others to follow. The 'Commune' was the power of the people working together for themselves, no politicians. Power corrupts, it's as simple as that, so we need to remove their ability to have power over us and transfer it to power helping us. A small town council will know their own population and will be more accountable. Simple.

[Laidleypunk12]

@cooly1uk Ah but thats still a form of control. Theres always one person who wants to ruin everything for everyone, besides, in that system it could quite easily get passed back to the caste system of the middle ages, which was quite oppressive.

[cooly1uk]

@Laidleypunk12 No, it's cooperation!

[Laidleypunk12]

@cooly1uk That's how it starts, or maybe it doesn't start like that, who knows? In the end, if you have some form of hierarchy introduced, then there will always be someone (eventually) who wants more for him/herself and is willing to betray their fellow man for power/control/wealth. So long as some form of "power" is held over the people, there will always be people want more than there is.

[boobjob69]

@420bmxer did your computer have spellcheck then?

[Fenrisianspirit]

Wow. This shows what some good old solidarity can do. I wonder how many cops enjoyed beating protesters and shooting them with rubber bullets? I love the idea of riots. It is a time of cooperation, when the angry and disowned band together to change the world. "We are all part of the same universe, we are all equal"

[caviano]

i love riots as well... like i know this'll sound stupid, but go back to your high school days... and imagine ALL the kids banning together against the faculty...

i love cooperation of a massive scale, its great fun to watch.

[bluebrainboi]

i was there
