ANTI-FLAG - Angry, Young And Poor

Musique trop trop bien.

[@Dzogchen_Sunyata]

Much better than their new shit

[@johnbesselievre]

my favorite song, remember when this cd came out and seeing it live was crazy

[@dustinperkins6770]

@punkerast ANARCHY noun 1. a state of society without government or law. 2. political and social disorder due to the absence of governmental control: 3. anarchism (def 1). 4. lack of obedience to an authority; insubordination: 5. confusion and disorder you can sing about anarchy and coming together. anarchy isn't about people all hating each other. If we all lived and made choices by using common sense and a sense of decency towards other humans and at the same time had no political and government figures telling us what we can and cannot do, that would still be anarchy by definition. The term is demonized by politicians and government because it could spread the idea that we don't need them. And in reality we don't.

[@wreckingballwhyisballnotok154]

Well said, but we dont live in a perfect world. We have way too many people who would abuse anarchy. Pillaging and rape would explode. The streets would be full of blood. If everyone was decent, your idea would work. But there are way too many assholes in this world.

[@wreckingballwhyisballnotok154]

Brandon Robinson Whos to say you would even be alive? Pretty sure all of the gangs would completely take over. Hells angels, "ISIS" blood, crypt, taliban... Like really. You have way too much faith in humanity. If someone drops an A bomb on your city, will you survive? Chances are you wouldnt. Unless you have money, you're going to die. You're not thinking of the pieces of shit. Regardless of good people, there will be more bad. The only way to survive would be to either hide, or get into a gang. This world would literally burn to the ground. Its nice that you still have faith that good people would have order, but it doesnt work that way. You'll find as you get older, youll see the world in its true light. We could never live like this. Its been done before and almost killed off a race. Look at Hitler, or even our ancestors who killed so many natives. You may think that the world would be a better place without guidelines, but you dont understand how desperate one gets when its live or die. One of those double edge sword deals...

[@mainspringguerrilla6841]

+Wrecking Ball The premise of anarchism goes Much MUCH deeper than that. It's not just political change, it's social change. I recommend you watch "the case for liberty" by libertarian socialist rants on you tube.

[@mainspringguerrilla6841]

Anarchism is NOT lawlessness.

[@brandonrobinson2907]

WreckingBall Whyisballnotokaytouseasalastname Those gangs would pulverize each other until there are very few left (2 or 3 maybe) then they would be weak, which is the time that everybody breaks them down. Despite this, gangs take over with or without politicians to stop them.

[@sunnyvaledrunk6688]

"Die for your government" was the one and only album I like by them...If you want something similar that blows their newer stuff away try the Explosion (from boston the singer Sam Cave was the guitar player for the Boston Street punk band the Trouble)

[@franceisco]

My favorite anti flag song. I guess no one care!!!

[@xunderxdosedx]

I love this band, people like to gripe about them being sort of mainstream these days, but nobody takes into consideration that it's pretty cool that we live in an age where a band like Anti-Flag could even be considered mainstream.

[@mcarmean09]

Anybody else think it's interesting [fucked up] that I had to watch a BP Oil ad before this video would play? At least it's not their channel....

[@KraytTheGreat]

melhor banda de punk rock do mundo

[@forlornmind]

great mix, good times i will never regret the broken gun star on my forearm, antif flag and lowkey hells ya, hails to ya give em hell

[@waynepunkdude]

Took me a couple of hours but I can now play it on the bass, virtual high five anyone?

[@FireCannon27]

@WhiteWither If you spin it 45 degrees and remove the blur, yes. Funny, I hadn't noticed that.

[@Filbunkish]

wow, I remember this.. this was back when anti-flag didn't suck!

[@boywiththeblackveil]

they are awesome, i have heard only few of there songs cause i just heard of them today, loving them :D

[@Picardssiette]

description pourrie.

[@LetCasualPlay]

Its not just capitalism that needs to go down the fucking drain. Its the two party system that most free nations follow. You know your a slave to this if you ask someone, "are you Republican or Democrat?" We need more voices and more options not douchebags selling out their views so they will get sponsored by a party. Its a damn shame.

[@drenochrome4kidz]

its punk rock man, its not about how good you sing it, its about what your singing and thats what i love about it, you dont have 2 be good at singing to just go out their and spread your views its freedom man, freedom.

[@Codylupardus]

and "Rise Against, has similar hard rock roots, punk influences, a subtle use of vocal counterpoint, a subtle use of vocal harmony and varying tempo and time signatures."

[@SharkBitch]

LOVE ANTI-FLAG!!!!!

[@PANDAxTOM]

do they go to the u.s? cuz ive been fallowing this band for a while. i havent seen them live, i want to so badly. ANTI FLAG RULES

[@MrArmybrat00]

lol i love how songs can stir up so much politics when the songs themselves are anti political

[@fallkhild]

first anti flag song i ever heard and i loved them since.

[@chrysslyn]

Hmm, i wonder if any of the people bitching about the pic are actually poor...

awesome!punk rock rules!

[@J0elPeters]

@axedecapitation Exactly it would become like Lord Of The Flies all over again. Despite a legit government, someone decided to take over the tribe and separate the two groups. While some may not agree there will always be "the Man" because that's what drives us. It's just what's in our DNA and we have to learn to accept. While I don't believe in absolute conformity, I do however believe we should follow the rules and norms of society. It's just learning when to play along and when to change.

[@J0elPeters]

@AtombombmotherThe truth is without government you don't have freedom. Without freedom you have dictatorship. Without dictatorship you have rebellion and anarchy. As you can all see we need a government to control our lives because otherwise our society would indeed collapse worse then ever before. Take a good look at 1984 and Lord Of The Flies for two separate, but honest and important ideologies to better understand human motivation and society.

[@sciencenerd101]

awsome song

[@frankpierce7880]

help me af tulsa ok has homeless and not many you could help them and it wont break you budget but theyd also probably go back to drugs but you could say you helped

[@slash556100]

Dedicate this song to my buddy bernard, he helped me be smarter, and get better at guitar, he now lives in the ghetto bcus his dad kicked him out of the house once he graduated, Keep on Rocking buddy

[@JapanWalkerJJ]

@pyroslayer83 lmao thanks for wasting my time searching all those bands just to see what they sound like.

[@Commiechu]

@yourheroxyz People in Eastern Europe were under the control of a ruling clique which arose from the backwardness of Russia - it's lack of a large working class, industry, etc and the bureaucracy which was out of desperation created just in order for things to keep running. Lenin and Trotsky understood this. The problem was that there was no international revolution to link up with to take care of their problems. So the bureaucrats were free to do what they needed to preserve their perks.

[@GodOfTheInternets]

@FearDivinity Again, if slaves could vote whose slaves they were it would technically be "democracy", yet it is unjustified. Freedom means self-determination and autonomy, it means to decide for oneself. Deciding who is going to determine for you and who may take your autonomy is no longer freedom. Hence, hierarchical democracy (parliamentary democracy) is not free. The only true democracy is non-hierarchical, i.e. direct-participatory democracy.

[@Atombombmother]

Anarchy obviously means something different to the different people here. I think it simply means the declaring of all laws that protect private property and the upper class null and VOID. Hence, anarchy. It is an authoritarian (nondemocratic) government that undergirds capitalism. Their laws protect their system, and people all over the world protest the imposition of it. Anarchy is the bridge to the future.

[@FuckFacts]

Are you forgetting all the 'punk' bands that signed multi-million-dollar record deals with corporate fat cats like Sony(Anti-flag), Warner Brothers(Rancid), Shoe-fucking-companies(Nofx, Casualties, and probably 90% of the other bands you listen to that have you convinced that they're 'poor as shit') But maybe you're right, instead of putting our resources towards feeding the poor, we should buy Davey Havoc(oops, I mean Justin Sane) A new vacation house in Hawaii.

[@samuraiofthesea2949]

Is that logo with the X over the cricle the logo for this song? Or is the logo Anti-Flag?

[@cooly1uk]

@Liam11w In a way yes, but they and their views are generally superior because of where they come from themselves. For the Japanese nationalists in WW II it was a superiority over the Chinese and the other East Asians, For the Germans it was the Aryan or Northern European race that were superior, in South Africa it was whites over blacks, but the most common one is, unfortunately, whites over just about everybody else.

[@skatelongboards]

@69Techno69pt no it wouldnt cause no all companies would of closed. the companies that did not fail cause they know how to better ruin a buisness would expand take over the other companies and banks buisness. if general motors failed and we didn't bail them out would it mean a loss of jobs? for gm yes but Ford and chrysler and others would than have to start making cars to fill in the demand. you cant prop up failed companies

[@skatelongboards]

@69Techno69pt that's capitalism? that's not a free market bailing out failed buisness and companies and propping up others with subsidies is not a free market. what we have right now is corporatism, and the government is in bed with the corporations. Read Ron Paul's book liberty defined it explains alot on free markets and look into some austrian economists like von hayek and von mises.

[@rtnslnd]

@yourheroxyz Cooperative capitalism? Haha, that's quite some doublethink you got goin on there. By definition capitalism cannot be cooperative. Capitalists may co-opt labor so as to assure labor remains docile, but that's not cooperation. That's liberal subjugation; keep the slaves happy so they stay in their place. Socialism is working class control over production, as defined, supported, and enacted by every true socialist ever. Catalonia in '36 is the most striking and inspiring example.

[@SelfAware1]

@BibleTrippin i agreee to an extent. of course the news is corporate interest and bullshit sensationizations most of the time, but shows like the daily show or sometimes shit on msnbc can be pretty illuminating. but people shoulc def get their news from as many different sources as possible, the internet, books, intellectual discussions, magazines, podcast, and even the news. just watch everything with a skeptical eye and you will be alright. thats my opinion anyway. have a good one brother.

[@SelfAware1]

@woodshawn94 if you read the quaran or bible and take it literally then you can easily find justifications for all types of disgusting, murderious, unethical shit. these books come from the infancy of our species way before we came to create science and reason fully. i think the fundementalist are teh real religious people cuz they actually read their books and follow what their books actually say.

[@SelfAware1]

@woodshawn94 the division between sunni and shia stem from disputes over who should rule after muhammad and has been raging ever since muhammad died. they both kill eachother, its kinda like catholics and protestants in northern ireland, they are more alike then they are different but kill eachother because they focus on the few differences between. the shia and sunni can both be murderous and have multiple times, i reject the notino that one is about peace. its alll about interpretation anyway.

[@p0wntatoe]

@RancidAkuma Yeah. Every body in the punk scene thinks anarchy is the best alternative. Don't get me wrong, anarchy is great for a society of people able to govern themselves, but it ignores that fact that people are greedy and power hungry. Not to mention people have a habit of blowing each other up. Case in point: Afghanistan, Pakistan, and arguably South Africa. To each his own, but I'm not sold on the whole black block protests. Maybe I just like being alive..

[@JBfan88]

@JamesKasal The best example would be the Spanish Republic before it was destroyed by the fascists. We'll never know how successful that might have been (the anarcho-syndicalist CNT Union still is pretty successful). The parts of Mexico liberated by the Zapatistas would be another. Many towns in New England used to make decisions in town hall meetings where every resident had a vote-some still do I believe. Whats more, just because someone hasn't existed before doesn't mean it never can/will.

[@MrAnarcist]

hmm. i still hate rap. everyone does. think about it. the same lyrics over and over and over again and again. you may like the beat of it but as far as true musical talent lyrically there is none. but hip-hop on the other hand. actual song writing. you know a story to tell. i have nothing but love for hip-hop. thats all i was saying. i mean to be honest i love all music. even country. all im saying is lyrics you can relate to is what makes a true song great despite its instramental backing.

[@JAMcreations]

Culture is fluid my friend, and this largely stems from the economy. For example, in Socialist countries a large value is placed on collective action and care which is exemplified by trade union activity, low crime rates and so forth. You obviously come from either the U.K or U.S like I do, in which helping others is pretty much looked down upon. I've already cited historical examples for you, did you look into them? History is on my side in this case.

[@dasilvan]

The only way we could ever achieve anarchy is with a united whole population devoted to each other. That being said a state of anarchy would be perfect. Problem is people can't do that, so there wont be anarchy. P.s you cannot have democracy with anarchy... its a different system entirely. Democracy involves a figurehead, A leader. It also includes minorities. Anarchy does not.

[@GodOfTheInternets]

@codcommando Socialism does not presuppose a state: see anarchism. "rich people create jobs", which is only true under conditions of private property. Under common ownership unemployment is completely eliminated which makes your argument invalid. I advice you to read An Anarchist FAQ, specifically section I but others are a good read too.

[@Commiechu]

@yourheroxyz No, you are mixing up Socialism and Social Democracy. Socialism is the stage of history in which the working class has taken over both economic and political power and has begun to run the economy through workers' democracy. Social Democracy is what is commonly referred to as "Capitalism with a human face", Capitalism with social programs.

[@Nuke_Skywalker]

anarchy is basic, direct democracy. anarchy isn't a system at all. a system includes always a government, A. dosn't have one. ppl are self organized, workers produce, but there is no capitalist force who take away the money, cause there will be no money. ppl will produce, work will be splitted, wich creates less unemployments and more luxury for everyone!

[@xunderxdosedx]

@metalenema We actually do have a few relief funds, Non-Believers Giving Aid being the most famous. Also: A lot a of anarchists run soup-kitchens and the like. To say the church is the only entity which does that sort of thing is a little ignorant. Not trying to nitpick, you had a pretty positive post, just keep that in mind is all.

[@skatelongboards]

capitalism is the best system we got, but sadly what we have right now is corporatism . corperations are in bed with the government( the bailouts of all of those banks and companies Bus hand Obama did) People need to quit whining and quit shopping and buying corporate products and support your local grocer or tool store. Aka dont shop at wal mart.

[@Capnsensible80]

@Atombombmother "I think it simply means the declaring of all laws that protect private property and the upper class null and VOID." No, that's CHAOS. Words do have definitions for a reason. Anarchy is simply a lack of official leadership, a system where cooperative interaction and association is the mode of organizing society. Anarchy does not denote chaos.

[@tantepepe]

I think real punk is dead. Or I mean the punk of the eighties maybe. Maybe today there is a new sort of being punk. For me being punk is not wearing green hair, tattoos or something like that, but invest yourself in your lige, like helping people without home, go to political assemblement. Hope you understand my english, I'm French.

[@Angeljenily]

yeah well i've been on streets too,having nothing to eat and buming ppl for fucking pennys so i could by my smack,but hey, this is the music i use to listen too and they keep me hanging....and yeah ofcourse they have money ppl buy there shit why not??!!!! they need to live 2 you know!!! I dont really care they are in my memories and always will be!!!!!

[@JAMcreations]

I agree that pretty much the entire populous has been rendered stupid, but that doesn't mean that organised resistance, a build-up of community and widespread education can't somehow compensate for this. Leaders and religion are two of the main things which Anarchists stand against, I'm not sure if you were trying to say that or not so I just thought I'd clarify.

[@GodOfTheInternets]

@FearDivinity -_-.... Dude... it is an ANALOGY, a hypothetical situation to test the whole of an idea. What I mean is that just because you can CHOOSE your ruler it doesn't mean the position of ruler is justified. Hierarchy is never justified. (Also, there are more slaves today than ever before)

[@cooly1uk]

@Liam11w It's complicated, but they generally want their own lot to govern for their own lot at the expense of everyone else, and they've generally used violence to further their aims. They should be met with their own tactics. If they are violent then we need to be violent towards them.

[@skatelongboards]

@69Techno69pt why though? so the ceo of a bank can make another 50 million a year while hes a running a failed company that is being propped up by TAXPAYERS. Let those banks fail their are plenty of smaller and better run banks that will step up and take their place.

[@dograbbitbeaver]

to have a successful society you need balance, too much good and there will be complete order and no emotion. Too much evil and it will be complete chaos and everyone would end up killing each other. Much the same with government and anarchists, you need balance

[@SelfAware1]

@TomLovis also, i love debate and i love teh exchange of ideas, so if it was an insult because i wrote a lot then thats cute, but i literally spent under an half an hour talking to people on this page, and i could spend a whole day without caring what tomlovis thinks about it. hahaha

[@FearDivinity]

@GodOfTheInternets Under which model of parliamentary democracy are you speaking of? The Westminster method is still a democracy....the people elect members to parliament...the majority then rules. Don't like it? Don't put that majority in power...it's still a democracy.

[@big0ginge]

if we had anarchy, we would have no military, leaving us compeletly volnerable to other nations. in order for saftey, we would have to elect some sort of military force for protection. um, that doesnt sound like anarhy, that sounds sorta like stratocracy to me

[@MujoAndFata]

@skinhead3000 no i think it would work because no1 should even be greedy if every1 has what they need and if some becomes a greedy asshole and tries to take the control of everything it's still anarchy and people could easily rise up against him and now you can't do anything about the dictator

[@FearDivinity]

@FuckFacts I don't know what crazy dictionary you're reading but democracy still means "Rule of the people." In which the majority votes how to run a government, either through majority vote or through elected officials (who are governed by set laws made by...the people).

[@TWolfeTone1]

@Atombombmother: Nothing that is authoratarian can possibly empower the working classes. Power needs to come from below, people need to be free to pursue thier own goals. What you are talking about is socialism which is fucked. Just as bad as feudalism in the end.

[@DOW700]

@MrAnarcist NO. Rap and hip hop is good when its REAL. When it just a fucking corporate money making machine (t-pain, lil wayne, soulja boy, etc..) its fucking shit. I will always be true to punk rock, but i have respect for bands like atmosphere, and immortal technique.

[@MrAnarcist]

anti-flag is amazing. the bass lines are always the hook. you would have to be deaf to not realize that. but all in all for its bass and vox its catchy and it sends the message. and after all is that not what music is about, well except for rap that shit sucks ass.

[@21marinesharpshooter]

are you sure that the guy was just being pulled over for speeding, how do you know that there wasnt an alert out for him! i can also see where the cops come from, with all these people who hate them and are ready to hurt them a moments notice so they have to be cautious and very protective

[@JAMcreations]

Anarchism is the most democratic of all ideologies. In its tactics it may differ between different strands of Anarchism which is where I think your criticism comes from. In an Anarcho-Communist utopia though, it would be one of direct, economic democracy with no power differentials whatsoever.

[@BlackAmulet]

They started in 88 ended about a month after 89 then they traveled for a while then after visiting their home town they decided to get back together in 92 but didnt find a bassist till 93 and then they still were jumping from bassist to bassist. But yea 93 to present technically speaking.

[@Mennismervice]

nope i chose to think this way i just like them and their music ok i dont listen to every statement made by them besides i dont even know you but i still like anti flags music its not a crime and they are not filling my head with BS go away quaheedus ANTI FLAG ROCKS just had to say it

[@Mennismervice]

ok quaheedus stop commenting on every anti flag video obsessed? besides you are an old man from Texas who doesnt know anything about them except they had a deal with RCA they did it for a reason not to support capitilism it was to get their message out and RCA said they could do what they wanted to

[@GodOfTheInternets]

@xXergosumXx State owned companies? Ever heard of worker cooperatives? Stateless communism, libertarian socialism? Socialism does not presuppose a state. Libertarian socialism is about ABOLISHING the state, thus maximizing freedom.

[@Commiechu]

@shizbie93 Socialism isn't about redistribution of wealth, it is about the working class taking power and ending the redistribution of wealth from the working class to the rich (Which is basically the first requisite for capitalism to work).

[@GodOfTheInternets]

@Capnsensible80 Learn to read. He says basically the same as you do. Anarchists oppose private property and thus also the laws that protect it, they wish to replace it with co-operation. Which is what you and Atombombmother said. -_-

[@Riot1TV]

@bringingdaughtersto Why isn't it "punk" to describe anarchy? Who the bloody hell decides that anyways? The whole point of the movement is to GET OUR VOICES HEARD. Why wouldn't we take the time to explain what we believe and want?

[@Nemoria09]

@Atombombmother the system you mean with 'anarchy' is 'anomie' don't worry, most of my punk friends don't know the difference either. so, you're right, they mean 'anomie' with saying 'anarchy'. they want to show, what you said.

[@Belosus]

@TiedInChains We need to be pure for anarchy to work. Or we can kill anyone in our way wich defeats the purpose. NAarchy is only possible if the world is free of pain, fear and suffering. sadly I don't think that will ever happen.

[@CastawayRY]

people that wear that are real punks or extream posers. Anarchy is be against alot of stuff and not belive in just what you belive. posers wear it because they see it on the sex pistols or because they think As are cool.

[@Jokerjack6]

@Atombombmother anarchy is simply a social state in which there is no governing person or group of people, but each individual has absolute liberty (without the implication of disorder.) But is bound by a social code.

[@PunkReggaeSka4life]

@TiedInChains I completely agree with you, man. I'm 14 too and I think it should happen but you are right it won't work in today's society. But if we put equality and liberty into it we would all be very happy with anarchy.

[@JAMcreations]

I think you're missing the point of Anarchy. There wouldn't be a state, but criminals would still be punished. It's about not having rulers, and I wouldn't call anything 'retarded' if you can't spell the word.
