Democracy was not based after communism, it came way beforehand. Communsim is more like a form of economy control than a form of government, thats why in a communistic state the power vaccum is always assumed by a dictator. Its happened in Russia, Cuba, Vietnam, Korea, China, even as far back as Rome. Don't believe me? Look up "Roman Principate". When land became collectivized the economy sank and emporers replaced one another in a matter of months. Marx and Frederick incorporated democracy into their communist ideology because at the time that was the government of Europe basically. Ideal communism, as they put it, would be a democratic society where everyone is a worker (proletariat), worked in the same community factories, and shared their earnings and land among one another. Sounds nice, but nothing in theory ever works out in practice. A fun fact is that Karl Marx ment for communism to take place in states that were already industrialized because of the pre-existing gap between poor and rich and a system of economy to work on. But every state that had adopted communism was a state with an agrarian economy. There was no built-in system for communism to work off of as how do farmers share land crops? There is no proletariat or bourgeoise with farmers, they are the only ones controlling the economy. In addition, human nature is such that we compete with one another for more land or more food. Capitalism works intuitively with human nature while communism seems to be counter-intuitive. |

I am so sick of you fucking 12 year olds who take up 9 pages of forum space to arhue with one another. Not about the song. Not about its meaning. About whether you fucking thinks it was ripped-off from another band or if the guitar riffs are too simple. How pathetic must you be to tell everyone on the internet why you hate a particular band. This is a website for discussing song meanings not seeing how far you can shove your head up your ass and make yourself look like an idiot. Goddammit, I have seen kindergardeners with more fucking sense than you dumbasses. And as for the song meaning (since I'd like to actually contribute to this website with something coherent and relative to the topic) it feels to me that the lyrics imply we are controllers of own fate. We've just made alot of bad decisions and here we are stuck in this world with war, poverty, and crime. No matter who we try to blame, its our fault; we did this to ourselves. Responsibility, I think is the main theme of this song. |
