So glad I found these guys. Sinister, dark, experimental and anti establishment. Just how I like it.

Liking them and the darkness and rawness of Front Line Assembly, Nine, Coil, Gary Numan, Cabaret Voltaire, Angel Spit, AllFlaws

" From the album XTORT. Mixed with imagery from historic atomic tests." What more could i ask for.

@VALsacount2 Now that's the funniest comment I've read in the whole Internet.

@MrRyan1011 I'm certainly aware of the difference, but I only get so many characters to write with. I'm all for hard working people getting their due, and being able to enable others to earn & live. But I have issue with inheritors who can side step life. If anything, they lose out.

Further, I don't read KMDFM as overly socialist/communist. At least, the songs *I prefer* are the ones that advocate personal empowerment, the value of asking questions and not mindlessly accepting authority.

@longrunripper Hmmmm... Very insighful. I don't like that the people in the world that need help the least receive the most free stuff (like Brad Pitt or Kim Kardashian) either. As a cautionary tale I would advocate knowing the difference between a hard working entrepreneur that enables regular Joe's like me to work and those types though. We do have a progressive tax scale so people that earn more, do contribute more.

@MrRyan1011 I think that now, it's less blaming the rich for the woes, and more resentment that they [the rich] can avoid many of them. And a certain confusion that many of the rich are inheritors, or talentless media commodities, rather than innovators or entrepreneurs.

This, I believe, is one of the key targets of KMFDM, the commodification of life and a social control based on needless consumption; and personal empowerment. Just listen to Dogma.

@samfrompasingtime i agree with that sentiment whole heartedly, it's just that kmfdm was the first industrial i ever heard, and it lead to me finding angelspit later, i'm just surprised that someone had it the other way around.

@samfrompasingtime Im libertarian minded myself. When I listen to some of their lyrics I feel like they are advocating communism/socialism which is to me the ultimate expression of government control. I think that they hate capitalism which just like life is not perfect or fair but has given the countries under it the greatest social and monetary prosperity the world has ever seen. I think the idea of class warfare is easy to pitch because people are eager to blame rich people for all their woes

[samfrompasingtime]

@MrRyan1011 I must ask why. I am a libertarian and I fear that they are a bit left for me in terms of government involvement, but at other times I think they are more anarchistic which I do not mind so much.
