| Its about the bourgieousie cultural domination and the corporate domination of society, at least for me. | |
| Rush – The Trees Lyrics | 20 years ago |

I find both 'communist' and 'anti-communist' leanings; The Maples' struggle is justified in the lyrics, while their views are shown in a sarcastic manner by Peart. I think it properly uses trees to describe the wage-slave theory, Maple Trees need sunlight to survive, and it seems that they get very little. It explains that the solution to the problem is preventing monopolies from taking over the free market or, in this case, the sky. Though Peart is a classic libertarian, there is such thing as a social libertarian; where restrictions on the market can take place, but not on the citizen's social rights. If the Maples wanted a true communist society, the instituition of the Oak trees would be chopped completely down. |
