I first heard this band when my brother and sister played it on their radios. Then I didn't like it that much, but now I love this band. I love to listen to this music.
Can't get the songs out of my head. Fuck all those other wannabees. Rage Against The Machine is the best.

rage has many fine qualities. the one that sticks out the most is their ability to tell us the american public what is going on in the rest of the world, and the things
we need to do to beat these things

I was never very politically active in the past but lately I have been reading a bit and I am appalled at the things that go on in this country.  I would like to
read some more and become involved in some groups but there is so much out there I'm not sure where to begin. If anybody can give me any suggestions, it would be appreciated.   I am particularly interested in religious freedom since I have been studying different religions for the past year or so and have realized the level of
intolerance that is out there, especially for the "minor", non-mainstream religions.  When I hear "America, the land of the free," I want to puke.   Oh sure, we may
have it better than other countries but that's no excuse.  I'm not prepared to sit on my ass and take abuse from my government and from wealthy morons who
have never known the meaning of hard work! Thanks in advance for any advice.

"The punishment which the wise suffer who refuse to take part in the government, is to live under the government of worse men."
        -Plato

I am sick of all of the childish ratings of the ignorant foul-mouth children who think that  "revolution is cool". Truth is you have no idea about what goes on in this country.  For all of those who refuse to work in the system than you are part of the problem, not part of the solution.

I feel like a hypocrite, sitting here at a computer, something that the government is using to brainwash us...I'm against the government and everyone who supports it.  I'd be insane to ever let that dirty game they play recapture me...Pathetic part is when i was a kid, I was always like proud of where i was from.  Now it's the complete opposite..I dont pledge allegiance to the flag, to a false idol, in other words a false god...Doesn't the 1st Commandment say "thy shall not worship any gods besides I'.   What the hell do you think that is.  We are bowing down to the flag, something that is against most of all of our religion...How can anyone respect a country whose only goals are set on having more power and more money..They dont care whose freedom, land, culture or pride they take..Genocide is created everyday..more and more deaths are cause by those we call "leaders"....who knows maybe you'll be next, then again it may be me....

THE WAY I SEE IT IS THAT EVERY ONE IS SPEAKING OUT AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT, WELL SO AM I, BUT ITS TIME WE THOUGHT BETTER OF SOMTHING BIGGER TO DO BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT DOESNT DO ANYTHING IF YOU SPEAK OUT, EXEPT KILL YOU.
SO IF WERE ALL GOING TO DIE ANYWAY THEN LETS GO OUT IN A BANG, IT IS TIME TO DRAW ARMS AGAINST THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT BECAUSE THERES ONLY ONE WAY TO GET OUR FREEDOM...
... WE MUST EARN IT.

Everyone has a right to be angry, but the only thing that violence brings is much more violence.  The best way to defeat injustice is to catch it at the roots.  To get to the roots, you must educate and understand the injustice.  When you fight ignorance with violence, you simply create a much deeper ignorance.  MY PERFECT KINGDOM!!

Ok,  This is how it is... I've read about many things in my life, about how the American government has stuck their nose in places it does not belong, and how we as americans lead the free world, and all that other bullshit.  We are always the good guys right, well wrong  long before Hitler ever thought of genocide, the american govt. practiced it, and nearly succeded in wiping out an entire race of people, I am talking about the Native Americans, and I think that the american govt. should apoligize a thousand times over, everyday for taking what was not their's and claiming that God gave them the right to kill and make this huge piece of land a long way from their shithole homes in europe a civilized continent.  You know, my heritage is straight from europe, and for that I am blamed for keeping people down and for oppressing the weak, and I apologize,  that is all I can do, but the government...this oversized, super power, this free country where we live can do something, they have money that they could use to atleast make life on the reservations worth living. No one can say they don't have money because I work 40 hours a week and I sure as hell don't see every penny I make,  and some will say that that money is used to run the govt. but does it make a fucking difference,  the u.s. is so far in debt that the govt. borrows money every year to run itself anyway.  I mean Miller is right you can write your reps, and you can stop buying the products of the companies that run this govt, but unless a group that consists of a majority of the population joins together, then all the writing you fucking want to do is not going to say anything more than "Hey, I am a pist off motherfucker, someone listen", but they are not going to listen,no, because you are one vote.   Everybody wants to know what we have to do to get the rich bureaucratic shit-fucts' attention, and I'll tell you what I am convinced that is,  It's a fucking crowbar to the fucking cranium, it'!
s a pipe bomb up their fucking ass,  and it is a fucking fist in their wives' mouthes.  You gotta hit real close to home to get their attention, because their wallets are so lined with green american money that they are calloused to our pleas for change.  You can preach peace, and you can practice it, and hey I'm all for peace as long as it works, but we have been peaceful for a long time and the gov't has only gotten worse.  So what now I've made my speech, and I've let you know how it is.
well I'll tell you, now you go out and educate yourself learn how to use guns and fight, and how to make bombs, because it is coming.  I can guarantee that.  And, when it does come... it maybe the end of the world, but atleast we will be trying to get this country back to what it was founded on...God and Freedom.

HEY!!!! I 'am a spanish student who really likes RATM.
I like them because of two important things:
1) The first one, is their music, I think that it is the most
original of all....
2)The second one is their contents and the way they take their lives,
i mean that the comunism they show off in their songs is just a way of thinking
and living, and theyu are the perfect example,I think that some day I will
be a good camarade but I need good teachers just like them.

an airplane flies have to do with life? etc. 3) though we've had our good points, the government supresses the bad  4) rascism  5) screwed-up prezes like Clinton
6) screwed-up people like Sadam Hussein  7) Leonard Peltier is still in jail  8) false prezes(you might remember that one guy who ran at the Bob Dole was against smoking at the podium, but he had a tobacco farm...) 9)police brutality stuff like this has caused me not to be so proud to be an american(i don't capitalizing it, it doesn't deserve it).

They control what we say, what we hear, what we have, what we do, our money, our family, our life, our death. They make us learn how to play games, walk in lines, salut the flag. Is this the best government in the world? If we say no, the name pessimist and anarchist comes up. But this country ain't good, and needs to be reformed. Fight back, don't do what ever the teacher want's you to do! During the pledge, make a point, and use your first amendment rights, which have fallen with the rise of republicans. Up with a better country! Down with capitalists and republicans- M

There is no way rightenous can defeat the government, for they take our hard earned money and use it against justice. But we can get into the government and burn out corrupt millionaires from office, and make this country a better place.

I would like to comment on some of the oppinions that I read about here. First...... School. I think that the system of school is described best by Thomas Hobbes' book Leviathan. Written in 1651 it states: To avoid "the chaos of their natural state" people enter into a contract in which they agree ( perhaps unknowingly) to give up freedom to a ruler (principal) who in turn ensures law and order. They cannot rebel (Without consequences)  because they have agreed to submit to a higher authority no matter what the form.
    And as for people saying that Communism is bad. SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! I live in Canada, supposedly a Democratic country but it isn't! Democracy is where ultimate power is with the people. But as soon as a party is elected into possition they change. They have the power to do things now. They just played us. Communism is what would work for Canada. People say "Well look at what happened to Russia!" Stalin was an idiot! He had the right ideas but the wrong goal. Why build up the military if your not power hungry? Canadians are not power hungry.Americans are. Communism would equal people out in Canada. And because we learn from the mistakes in history we will not allow another Stalin into the world.
  Do not dissmiss ideas just because they didn't work in the past!!!

Our Government is a pathetic waste of time.  But it's better than total anarchy because of course people need structure. But there's only one problem, And thats money! Currency decides our fate, our dignity, and whatever our government says it's made of.

spitfire.com@juno.com


You people are missing the main root of all this shit.  The GOVERNMENT is only a by product of the machine.  THE MACHINE is civilization  this thing which causes us to rape the earth, exploit it's resources destroy nature, and soon it's  going to cause us all to fucking die! The machine tells us that we are superior to nature, and that "mother nature is an enemy to be fought and conquered".  You hear it every day, you just need to listen.  This is the problem!

THE TIME IS COMING WHEN YOU WILL HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN NATURE AND THE MACHINE.   those are the two sides in the coming battle.  Man was made to live as a hunter, never taking more than he gave back.  Man has lived like that for MILLIONS of years, compared to the mere 10,000 years he has lived an agricultural life.  If you made it into a graph, and said that man  became extinct in the next 1000 years, it would look instantanious compared to how long he has lived as a hunter.  Hunting + gathering is a stable way of life for humanity, with none of the social problems of today. So I say fuck it all, just tear it down.  Find happines in your life without all your material shit!  LIVE AS A PART OF NATURE, not against it.  This is why humanity is so fucked up.  So when you have to make the choice, whose side will you be on?
NATURE's, OR THE MACHINE's?
RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE.

I'd like to fill some people in on a situation you might find interesting.  Those of you who live in California and read the front page every once and a while should know what I'm about to talk about.  I've got a problem with the way Pete Wilson is trying to keep California's Native American tribes down.  In southern california, many of these tribes own Casinos, such as Barona, Viejas, and Sycuan.  They have casinos on their own land, the "reservations" that our government "set aside" for them to do with as they please.  Yet, as we speak, Pete Wilson, governor of California, just struck a deal with the Pala Indians, whom do NOT have their own casino, and in this deal which the government EXPECTS other tribes to follow is this:

The existing casinos MUST divide their machines evenly between ALL tribes in California.
They are making a new "Lottery Style" machine to replace "illegal" slot and video poker machines, and once the machines are distributed, the tribes are expected to hand over the "illegal" machines. 
Everything will be divided evenly, even though certain tribes have spent their hard earned money.  They are basically going to have the money they raised on their own taken from them, and given to those who haven't done the same. 
Pete Wilson has made every effort to enforce any plan to keep minorities down.  He was a firm backer of Prop. 187 which crippled the rights of mexican immagrants.
The current situation now confirms that he doesn't support anything in the interest of minorites in the state of california. 
If these indian reservations have been set aside for the native american tribes, as THEIR OWN country, THEIR OWN land, to do WHAT THEY WISH with it, then what business does this government have telling them what they can do with it? 

I ask those of you who are concerned about this situation to send me email.  I will be organizing an online petition, and setting up a webpage describing the situation, and informing those who may not know about this situation.  Everyone who emails me will recieve a forwarded copy of the petition to be sent to Pete Wilson, and President Clinton.   What they are doing is unfair, and they have been doing the same things to native americans since they colonized this land.

Our President has been caught in a number of lies, lies that are taking away are freedom. We actually have no knowledge of the government because the governemt has been hiding the secrets, secrets we should as the people know! The President has been invloved in a sex scandal but that has made him more "approved" What I want to know is what is society thinking to keep this man as our president?

"Government is the science of punishment." The government is and always has been the center of all sin in America and throughout the world. Every kid in America is preached to from the time that they're born about being proper and respecting their elders and people in high positions. Everyone has a mind, everyone was made by the same God   so what makes THEM so much different than us? I would surely like to know. Everything that the government does is designed to control the people. If the people are controlled, both physically and mentally, than the government is accomplishing exactly what it has set out to do, be the dictating machine that they have grown to be. Let's not be held down, it's time to take the power back.

In a world full of hate and sorrow
It's hard to reassure myself that there will be a tomarrow
All these "powerful" people
Shoving commands down my slit throat
They treat us as the victims
And grin at the huge guns that they tote
Their plan is to take over
But they don't hear our cry
One day they will lose
And we will watch them die
They take away all of our freedom
And they want to take away our lives
They have killed all our brothers and sisters,
They have killed our children and wives
So we look up to the heavens
That they tell us to believe is really there
And we pray that someone will help us
And that someone will actually care.
We will bask in our blood and our pain
And await the deadly attack
And we will stand up all bloody and wounded
And we will take the power back.

This poem is one of my own and it means a lot to me.I hope many people out there will find the same meaning in it for them as it does for me.

Here is a poem that Zack wrote and recited in Rage's 70 minute video including the free single of The Ghost Of Tom Joad

Memory Of the Dead
Wealthy vampires
With the cold hands of executioners
Execute executive decisions determined to destroy what one million
women, children and men  1910
died drowning in the rage of battle
Mothers half naked,
Infants clutching their necks
Running frantically
Tripping over the bodies of their sons
Teeth gnashing, swinging mashette
Spitting blood and mud ans screaming
"Land and liberty"
We're erased  buried and burned
Along with the memory of the dead
Along with the ahedo
With the smooth stroke of a pen
And with the ghost of Nixon present in their eyes
They smile
And pronoune the oblibertance of the free market
The profits of profit
Extending the scurge of Colombus and Pisarro
The freedom to buy things you can never afford
The freedom for Indians to buy corn that once flourished overgrown in thier backyards
The freedom to die of curable disease
The freedom to watch their children's stomachs swell and burst
The freedom to starve and die without land or liberty
But Ramona, with eyes of obsidian,
peering through her blood and sweat-drenched mask
darting, unseen
Changing direction with the swiftness of a bird
Through the shanties of the canyons
With every coyote,
Every insect, every filem of life urging her
propelling her forward
The leaves and branches of the forest
part for miles clearing her path
The voices and screams of the dead beneath her fet
echo in the deepest chasm of her soul
Hurling her toward the city
History surging through her veins
Pulsing through her fingers
Hurling her toward the city
She caresses her trigger
And the words of Magoam fulfill her being
And with each shot she fires,
She affirms her movement saying, "Enough! Enough!
No! I will see my own blood flow! Before you take my land or my liberty."

Pretty great poem huh? Well, I would like to say that I am Canadian and that even though I don't live in the states, I agree that there has to be somehting done.And for whoever wrote, "You want to fihgt? Email back" or something like that,  that is not the way to make things better.You ca't fight against the government when you're in fact fighting against eachother! Why not work together and work out the differences? You have to work together, not against eachother.Rage against the machine, not eachother.Anger is a gift  use it wisely.

America Has Become a center for capitalism, and as Americans we all live in a capitalist society which I have nothing against but when our government refuses to put an embargo on a country like china which uses slave and child labor to produce our goods at their expense something is seriously fucked up. Nike and Every other Damn brand name that uses sweat labor can kiss my ass . And so can the government because they dont care all they want is money.the non-conformist.

I have been reading most of your views.  You guys really fucking hate America.   Shit I hate your governments ways to.  Come live in Australia.  It shits on America.  Less Violence, less drugs, No fucking Bill Clinton to tell you what the fuck to do.  Trust me it is so much more casual and relaxed.  In Australia being a Beach Bum is an important part of our culture.  I hope that you can fuck your government up before he (Bill) comes and fucks us up over here.

My name is david and I got a couple comments.  A think that so many peole in this messed up world complain way too much.  We live in a great society.  But there still are alot of problems, if you wnat to make a change then stand up for what you believe in.  Make a differnce, join political groups for social reform.  or make your own group.  just stop walking the walk you gots to walk the walk.  Back your talk.  emake those words come to life.  I started a group called Americans Wanting Change, this group is all about change. right now its is in the beggining stages but I hope that it will grow immensely.  This group focuses on wanting a trust between the government and the people, the equal rights of all people,a non-violent world, and freedom that everyone deserves.  Please if you have comments, or have questions about membership email me, I would like to discuss your ideas.

david <dkietzma@kruncher.ptloma.edu>


In light of reading the previous messages stated, i kinda get the sense that people are not really understanding what is going on, and still making comments upon issues they can't understand.  If knowledge is power, and power is what is being fought, in all honesty, what are you protesting?  People get lost in thier meanings in intentions, so that, all of a sudden they loose sight in what they know, believe, and know to be as the truth....in short, you are expecting to much, from a goverment, a country, and from humanity as a hole.

Len <skatanicskater@hotmail.com>


the idea of comunizm is an extremly good idea but thats the only thing it is good as an (IDEA) because in realality people cant work like that because we are to greedy and self centerd so it will never work because only a small % of the population will actualy do some thing  but on the other hand capitalizm isnt the hottest thing out because in capitalizm small buisnesses have no chance against the larg much more resourceful corperations  and the money from them will most likely corrupt the gov.

I think America is a lot better than most countries in the world, however I believe that it could use a change. So many people are blind to the government ways and
need some education before speaking out against or for the United States government.   I see alot of kids that are talking about how school sucks and how they will
never need to know some of the things that they are learning.  An education is the most important thing you can have in fighting against the government.  Learn all you can to help better your knowledge to fight for our true freedom.  Just an example of how blind some people can be:  I am a college student and am taking English writing classes.  I hear so many people in my class argue about how marijuana will someday be legal.  WHAT???????  There is no chance in hell that will come true especially if we have the same government.  Look at what has happened to tobacco.  We can't even advertise anymore.  Isn't that a violation of free speech?  If we are having problems with tobacco, there is no way in hell that marijuana is going to be legalized.  Don't try to achieve too much too soon!  Small things will eventually build up to large things.
Help out all you can!  So many people have died fighting for the little amount of freedom we have.  They have died defending our flag.  To me, the flag is the biggest symbol to what represents our country.  It is what our country is founded on.   Unfortunately, lately, the government is not upholding the true freedoms that our flag represents.  The government does need change, and we the people are the only ones who can bring about that change.
Forget about the government!  Save our flag!

Thanks for reading,

allright, here i go.  basically, i think the government sucks, and it should be removed. no, i do not want anarchy, because bad rule is better than no rule.  i have one question: why is a person, organization, whatever, that tries to overthrow the US government branded a terrorist and thrown into a prison to rot for the rest of their life or executed? the US constitution gives us the right to remove the government when it begins to fall apart and to put in a new one.  so literally, we are having our constitutional rights denied when we are not allowed to change the government.  and to all those people that say our politicians are doing a fine and dandy job, take another good look.  is a 5 trillion dollar debt a good job?  is infringing on our second amendment right by banning weapons doing a good job?  if the government succeds in banning guns then we will be defenseless.  only criminals and the government will have weapons.  we will have no way to fight back against anything.  i don't know who said it, but a great quote that i've read was "a man with a gun is a citizen.   a man without a gun is only a subject."  i will never submit to the rule of mr. william jefferson clinton and his ass-kissing group of supporters.  it's like the american dream has just turned into having to be ruled by politicans and be their little lap-dog.  i say start a war and start KILLING some of those FUCKS that have turned "the land of opportunity" into a wasteland.  GET YOUR GUNS NOW BEFORE "BIG BROTHER" COMES LOOKING FOR YOU.  united we no longer stand, because we are not united.  this country is a giant mix of cultures and races and the US government is sticking with their policy of trying to force everybody into one group.   it will never happen, they will never give in.  we do not live in a democracy, we live in a republic, which is slowly turning socalist, what with it's government health care, it's problems with welfare, public schools being turned into government education centers, and a fat-assed bastard of a president who bows to special interest groups and takes bribes from the chinese.  slowly the children of america are being turned into mindless beings who will do whatever their leaders tell them.  you never see the horrors that this country has inflicted upon
others in your school books, you only see the good things.  how we fought for freedom and liberty.
IT'S ALL BULLSHIT KIDS!! OPEN YOUR FUCKING EYES AND RESIST!! "the teacher stands in front of the class, but the lesson plan he can't recall.  the student's eyes don't see the lies bouncin off EVERY FUCKIN WALL" that rage lyric says it all about education.  the history of america has been nothing
but the opression of anybody or anything that went against the ideas of our rulers.   this country was founded by criminals, political refugees, and people seeking religious freedoms, and we have changed very little.  we still are run by criminals.   the wealthy take our money, pay nothing in taxes, and the government kisses up to them.  the only way that this country will ever end it's downward spiral is if we bomb the fuckers in DC off the face of this earth.  what the hell, just bomb DC off the face of this earth.  start over, and do it better.  like it says in the bulls on parade video, "freedom is like money: some people just have more of it than others."  when my freedom is taken, i will not go quietly.  i will never be a subject of the rulers of our country.  hey mister president,   you want my gun?  try and get it.  you want my money? try and get it. you want my mind?   try and get it.  you want my allegiance?  no fuckin way.  you want me to submit?  no chance in hell.  you want me?  COME AND GET ME!  but bring the army, cuz i'm not going without taking a couple of those bastards with me.   better yet, come yourself.  because i have not yet begun to fight.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN DENYED TO THE PUBLIC IS THAT THE PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW THAT DURING WORLD WAR 2 THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE FROM MEXICO WERE SENT TO THE UNITED STATES TO FIGHT FOR THIS COUNTRY...MANY DIED AND MANY WERE INJURED...NOW WHAT HAPPENS..THE MEXICAN PEOPLE GET TREATED LIKE SH T. MEXICANS ARE NOT RECOGNIZE FOR THE WORK THAT THEY HAD TO DO FOR THIS COUNTRY DURING WORLD WAR 2..EVEN THE MEXICAN GOVERMENT TRIES TO DENY IT..THIS MAKES ME MAD! THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT ARE SOOO IGNORANT AND SAY "GO BACK TO YOUR COUNTRY IMMIGRANTS"  WITHOUT THE "IMMIGRANTS" THERE WOULD BE NO FRUIT...OR NO CLOTHES..IMMIGRANTS MAKE THIS COUNTRY NOT "WHITE ONLY" WE HAVE A HISTORY AND IT HAS TO BE HEARD!!!!

Communism is a great system, IN THEORY. Problems occur during the supposed redistribution of the wealth, when the person or persons responsible for initiating the reform can simply decide not to redistribute any money at all and keep it all for themselves. This is exactly what happened in the Soviet Union, which is why poverty levels there were so high. Granted, poverty levels there are much higher there now, but this is due to the fact that it takes many years to readjust to a completely different form of life. It may be argued that a capitalistic nation like the United States has just as many poor people as communist nations, but look at the facts. Russia accepeted almost no immigrants during its communist period, because it did not want the true extent of their brutalities to their own people and puppet states to be known. The US, the most prosperous country in the world, attracted millions of immigrants from third-world countries where the standard of living is!
incredibly low. Most ended up on welfare or had minimum wage jobs, which sill payed more than any in their parental countries. The entire democratic system does not need to be given up for a completly communistic way of life where civil liberties are frowned upon. Instead, the democratic system needs to be overhauled, taking power away from the large federal "government" and giving more to state and local governments so they may decide what is best for their people. For those of you who genuinely believe in a communist system in America, I am truly sorry. There are so few American communists that it is unlikley that even one representative will be elected to office on the local level, let alone become president. And now that the Soviet Union is no longer communist, takeover seems unlikley unless by China, who barely has 20 or so nukes capable of reaching America, while we have thousands capable to kill every last one of the 1.2 billion in that country, which seems to be on the way to reform itself.

There is no knowledge that is not power.
If you are sitting in a class room try to pay attention to what is being said.
It may sound rediculous or obsurd, but listen anyway.
The more you learn, the more powerfull you become.

Shit I started to read Reagans speech but thats just too much bullshit. he said when history looks back on us......   Fuck that we write history every single text book not just in america but in the world is biased all history is biased. The text book in my shcool happens to be written by three white male christians, not that I have anything against most of them because I am white and I am male but Christianity and most world religions  really piss me off . Throughout history Christians and other institutional religions have always had god on their side. "THOSE WHO DIED ARE JUSTIFIED FOR WEARING A BADGE IN THEIR CHOSEN WHITE". To me "their chosen white" is their cause that they blindly follow. If a rebellion is one man using something to justify his quest for power than it is not a rebellion. We had good reasons to rebel against the english and I believe that the anti-PRI movement has a better justufication than that of any nationalistic or religious reason.Jesus not white.

let me get my facts straight before i share my opinion. I'm an Irish Republican-Sinn FŽin supporter (i.e. a socialist who wants a free and united Ireland)Id like to start off with saying AMERICANS: What is this false belief you have nurtured about the U.S. being the best country in a world full of shit countries. I know you can't be that ignorant. Even the sell-out Irish Republic (wich orphened Ireland's six northern counties) is a better place to live. It's a semi socialist parlimentry democracy, it has a fantastic social welfare system and even the educational system isn't too bad. Education is free, Medical help is reletivly cheep (as in inexpensive), guns are illegal (execpt shotguns and hunting rifles which are hard to get) life is pretty good. From what ive seen read and heard about America, it seems like a real right-wing shit hole, and i have no intention of going there. Most of eorupe is semi-socialist (allthough the capitalists still have alot of power) so WAKE UP!!
England : Fuck you, we want our freedom.Scotland and wales: Tiocfidh ‡r l‡!To all who live in the Celtic Isles (as oppossed to the british isles which is both geographicly and politicly incorrect) Vote NO for both the Good Friday Agreement and the Amsterdam Treaty.   HASTA LA VICTORIA SEMPRE (p.s. sorry for the spelling, and it's good to see people like James and Rebecca out there, doing good.)

THE ALIENS COME AND COME TO THIS COUNTRY TO GET AWAY FOR LOW PAYING SWEAT SHOW OF THERE NATIVE LAND.   THEY FIND OUT THAT JUST BECAUSE OF THERE RACE THEY WILL BE HATED AND PRESPERSECUTED AND DENIED HIGH PAYING JOBS THAT THEY DREAMED OF WHEN THEY CAME.   THEN THREY WILL BE STUCK WITH A 5.50 A HOUR JOB TRYING TO SUPPORT A FAMLY OF FIVE. MY FINAL THOUGHT IS PEOPLE WHO HATE OTHER BECAUSE IF THERE RACE SUCK AND THE GOVERMENT SUCKS.

My name's Adam, and I live in Poland.

Don't know 'bout you, guyz, but here, in Poland, we have
great big problems with gettin all sorts of gear. Amps and guitars
are verry expensive, ao if you want to buy yourself a decent
guitar or any other stuff, you have to be a f#*kin' milionaire.
My point is, that those, who are wealthy should help
the poorer misicians. Ithink, they shoud establish a charity of some sort, like
"Musicians to Musicians" or something like that.

I agree that the system today sucks, but it is possible to go to far.  I am a Marxist and I think the whole capitalist philosophy of oppresing anyone to get more wealth is fucked.  The system definetely needs change.  What irritates me is people who say ignorant things like "kill all the fucking police", or anarchy is a viable system.  Ya, some police are corrupt, and need to be fucked over good, but without police you wouldn't be enjoying things half as much, especially when someone decided to kill you for your views and no one could stop them.  Instead of "kill all the police" why not say get the fucking racist, corrupt cops out, hire real cops.   And what exactly is everyones problem with Christians.  I can see that some so-called Christians have done some pretty fucked up things in the past, but so has every other religion, and no one seems to have a problem with them.  People who say they are Christians, but who are racists, or who support things like the oppression in South America and Mexico, are not Christians.  Theyre dumb fucks.

I was worried about taking too much space up at once that I didn't have the opportunity to elucidate on some of my expressed opinions.
   First of all, to all those who have written to censure those who condemn communism without having the slightest idea what it is about, I say hurrah!  I am sick and tired of being told I am evil because I am of the opinion that Marx had the right idea.  Perhaps the beautiful idea of communism was bastardized, leading to Stalinist Russia, but if you read Trotsky, he sadly admitted that they messed up when they began to think that they were the brain and not the voice of the people.  Wake up, all of you who tell us to "Stop bitching."  That is what happens in our country every day  they don't care about us--or most of us, anyway.  Case in point: my father went to Vietnam, and he was still seen as a second-class citizen for being Chicano. (Even he admits they had no business being there.)  I refuse to serve any country who only sees all of its citizens as equals only when they are there to die.
    I have a Masters Degree and plan to pursue a PhD. next year for your information, since apparently those of us who complain "have no education." (I believe that's what one of you said.)  That is of little consequence when you realize that the majority of the things you learn in school is told from the perspective of the WASP MALE.  The greatest thing we can do for ouselves and others is to educate ourselves  read so you can make your own decision.  All my life I grew up hearing that communism is evil, so I finally read Marx, Trotsky, Lenin, Guevara, etc.   I found that these were people dedicated to bringing equality to people regardless of race or sex.  They were willing to disrupt their lives or relinquish them to make a difference.  Anarchists like Ricardo Flores Magon and Emma Goldman were sent into exile.  Magon died in a US prison, murdered.  What does that tell you?  In essence, anarchists and communists have in common the idea that this world will be a better place once people forgo the goverment and stand up to be heard personally.
   Unfortunately, like Marx and Subcomandante  Marcos and others have stated, sometimes violent means are the only way to ensure a complete and momentous revolution.  If so, I support that, and although I have primarily a pacific nature, I would gladly take up arms if that meant I no longer have to see starving children selling gum and junk at 4am on the bridge between my city and Mexico.  Read Marcos' letters, when he says that they are tired of seeing their children running around lice-ridden and full of worms, while the government uses the money for devious means.  If you can hear all this and still be unmoved, or nevertheless question our complaints or methods for relieving them, then we don't need you.  ike Guevara's ideal, we only need people that are willing to place the good of all before personal gain.  "Para nosotros, nada.  Para todos, todo."
But just think about this next time you are sitting in your comfortable home surrounded by the luxuries of life: if you do nothing, you are only one of the many vampires that exists through the death of others.

I like this section. Being able to express one's personal views is very significant. Rage is more than great music, they're an alternative source of media, rather than punk government mass media propaganda. They help to provide the real truth and open us up to what's really going on. Rage por vida! Raise your fist and resist. If anyone ever wants to talk rage or anything politically left wing oriented get at me! you can write me dr47@juno.com. I always love hearing from other ratm fans and expressing my views. I am a huge fan so I have lots to talk about.

I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT I THINK MANY OF THE OPINIONS ON THIS WEB SITE HAVE ALOT OF GREAT POINTS. I CAN SLEEP BETTER AT NIGHT KNOWING THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD WILLING TO SACRIFICE FOR THERE BELIEFS. ONE THING I NOTICED IS THAT EVERYONE IS POINTING BLAME AT THE GOVERNMENT. I CAN SEE WHY BECAUSE I FEEL THE GOVERNMENT HAS THE ABILITY TO MAKE THIS COUNTRY ALOT BETTER BUT FOR SOME REASON THAT IS NOT HAPPENING. I FEEL THAT THE MORE WE BLAME PEOPLE FOR OUR PROBLEMS, THE EASIER IT IS TO PUSH THEM ASIDE AND NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. THINK OF ALL THE PROBLEMS WE CAUSE EACH OTHER THAT THE GOVERNMENT HAS NO CONTROL OVER. FOR INSTANCE, DOES YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD POLITICIAN COME TO YOUR HOUSE AND POUR LIQUER DOWN YOUR THROAT OR FORCE YOU TO DRIVE DRUNK KILLING INNOCENT BISTANDERS?  DOES THE GOVERNMENT FORCE YOU TO SMOKE CAUSING MILLIONS IN HEALTH CARE DOLLARS EVERY YEAR? IS THERE A SNIPER AT YOUR WINDOW MAKING SURE YOU EAT THAT LAST BOX OF TWINKIES SO THAT YOU BECOME SO OVER WEIGHT THAT YOU ARE FORCED TO STAY IN BED? IT'S NOT ONLY OUR GOVERNMENT THAT IS THE BLAME, WE ARE ALSO THE BLAME! THE AMERICAN LIFE STYLE IS KILLING US. EVERY ONE WANTS THE QUICK FIX AND IS NOT WILLING TO SACRIFICE FOR THE LONG TERM GOAL OF HEALTH AND HAPPINESS. THINK ABOUT IT. IF WE ARE NOT PHYSICALLY AND MENTALY HEALTHY, HOW ARE WE GOING TO RUN A NATION. EVERY ONE WANTS TO PARTY AND MAKE THE BEST FOR THEMSELVES WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT THE ENTIRE PICTURE.  JUST LIKE ZACK SAID," COME AND PLAY, COME AND PLAY, FORGET ABOUT THE MOVEMENT!" THATS WHAT WE ARE DOING. LET'S LOOK AT OUR SELVES FIRST AND SEE WHAT WE ARE DOING WRONG AS A PEOLPE. THEN LETS TRY TO FIX IT, AND AT THAT POINT WE CAN CHANGE THE GOVERNMENT. IF YOU GET ANYTHING OUT OF THIS, REMEMBER THAT THE GOVERMENT IS ONLY A REFLECTION OF OURSELVES. WE SHAPE THE GOVERNMENT, AND THE GOVERNMENT SHAPES US.

Too many of us sit back and wait for things to happen. Meanwhile, people are out in the nation trying to stop the greed and corruption which all too often accompanies the government.  Thousands of people are being silenced by censorship and others are being silenced by the pandemic known as AIDS.  The initiative
taken by activists are often seen as extreme, but so were the actions taken by the founders of our "great nation".  If we continue to think that these actions
are too extreme and turn our backs from participating and trying to change the system, then more will die and be silenced.  The time for change is always present and
no one should think otherwise.  ACT UP!
