Tom Morello Is Happy Obama Is President, Yet Will Still Fight For Marxism
Although Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine was “moved” when America “was able to elect a somewhat progressive African-American to the highest office in the land,” he still isn’t finished with his political activism.
“Obama’s stated positions are much too centrist for my taste. I always laugh when the Republicans would say, ‘He’s a Socialist or he’s a Marxist.’ I’m thinking, ‘Man, if we really did have a black Marxist as president, that’d be fantastic.‘”

Dude Morello is a Marxist because he knows if Marxism wins out in America, it’ll pay him more. I mean, make the “Machine” as big as it possibly can get so you have more to rage against right Tom?
Or…am I the only one who finds it ironic that someone so hell bent on raging against the machine wants to make the federal government as big as humanly possible?

No way. Groucho was clearly the brains of that operation.

Groucho is the brains behind the man. He’d make a great Secretary of State, not President.

Why doesn’t he just join a commune? Or move to Cuba?
What exactly is the problem, Tom?

Considering that true Marxist Communism results in the dissolution of the government, I don’t think Mr. Morello is simply looking for more to Rage against.
However, though I love RATM, I find it a little hypocritical that they’re on major label and charge so much for their shows. I guess I just wish that more bands were like Fugazi.

Whatever guys. Rage is fighting the machine FROM THE INSIDE. They’re under cover. The money is just a side effect.

Yeah but even Morello has to know that before the Federal Government is dissolved you have to go through a time of complete and total dictatorship. No “communist” state has ever gotten beyond this dictatorship stage. Why? Well…once someone gains absolute power over their masses, they don’t exactly willingly give it up.
