Theyre not. Theor song "baby im an anarchist" was phenominal. But they released this song during the mccain obama election to try to sway people away from leftist politics towards supporting a liberal who dod MORE than Bush in Iraq. I stopped following these guys after this song. Because they sold out left anarchism in favor of liberalist capitalism. They went on to endorse liberal politician after liberal politician. I went on to volunteer for the left leaning kurdish revolution in Rojava. These folks are sellouts. One moment of potential discomfort in the form of a ballot was enough to make them abandon their beliefs.

I definitely don't read this song as anticommunist or anti-anarchist--just jaded. I'm only in my 20s but I can imagine it must really suck to have all these plans and ideas as a kid, and decades later...the revolution never came. Sometimes the most you can do is just do volunteer work to strengthen your community, and try to help people cope with the horrendous system as-is.

Inspiration for the music video from Laura's life- I went to the same high school as Laura- I'm not surprised this happened at all in Naples, Florida. "An arrest at age 14 crystallized her aversion to authority: having gone to the beach on Independence Day 1995 to watch fireworks, "I walked up on the boardwalk, and a cop was like 'Hey, get off the boardwalk; you're blocking the flow of traffic'. So I turned around and got off, and he came up to me again and was like, 'Get off the boardwalk.' And I was like 'I'm off the boardwalk.'"[7] Grace claims to have then been slammed into a police car, thrown face-first to the pavement, jumped on, hogtied, carried "like a suitcase", put in a holding cell, not allowed to call her mom at that time,[17] charged with resisting arrest and battery, placed under house arrest for the summer, and required to do 180 hours of community service, all because "I was a dirty, grubby little punk kid with black spiky hair who hadn't washed his pants in a year."[7][10][13] Grace's mother hired an attorney, whom she could ill afford, who took the case to court and lost. Grace was charged as an adult and ultimately convicted of both felonies.[17] Grace later said the experience "changed my life. [It] politicized me."[18] "I have an inherent trust of mankind. I think authority and government base their power on violence. I refuse to recognize anyone's power over me."[7]" -Wiki article.

Alot of people i know have had some weird run ins with those units specifically.

I'm 34 and more of an Anarchist than I was 14. The philosophy was something that made sense as a teenager and to figure out *why* it made sense it took 20 years of heartbreak, love, angst and loss. Anarchism at 14 is a jacket. Anarchism at 34 is a better future for my son. What the story of this song is to me is being right for the wrong reasons.

Kyle Meyer Anarchy is an idealist game. Can each state in the USA have rightful say in each city. Its a massive upbringing. These are my ideals as a kid. I use to believe that we could do this. As I grow I can't help but to accept the facts in my head. Democracy is still a sham to the unelected beucrates, and lobbist with money. No one had ever accept this. Democracy is great. Anarchy-scydaclism( however it's spelt) would be better. Each man his voice. Each representative their say. Echo along the United States. This is not possible. This will not sustain the masses. I can't do for you as can do to me. What does the populous have to offer except their lives. Their are a lot of variables. My young self would say fuck yeah. While the adult me became conservative over time. Libral ideas are a kids game, but humans age. This can work on small scales. Forming a union of anarchists into one sovereign nation is luscious. Maybe one day when rest happens. until then my youth still holds the symbol in high regards.

As I teenage anarchist, I can tell you that anarchy isn't about chaos. It's about the destruction of a broken system. It's about community support. Violence erupts from kids (like the one in said video) who think its simply about doing what ever you like. It's about not needing a government because as a community you can support yourselves. Theres no need for a government at that point. But no ones ready for that conversation, especially those who believe it's a fad. Its care and community support, not chaos, but people are greedy, and think we need someone with the power. People dont want community support unless it benefits them, but that's not how it works. You give and you get. People are selfish and unwilling to learn. That's why anarchy hasnt worked, and wont work, by nature humans are shitty people, but they are the ones who choose not to learn. It could work, we could work and learn against our shittyness, but because of stigma, they /wont/

as greed and selfishness exists in human nature-so does collaboration and selflessness, so there really shouldn’t be an excuse as to why anarchy wouldn’t work, the only reason it hasn’t worked is due to the grasp capitalism has on the entire world, feeding greed into the minds of many and keeping it that way. Sure, it’s an improvement to feudalism but humans are constantly changing, just as how we moved on from castles, we can move from an era of selfish corporatism to an era of collaboration.

Even if some grand revolution doesn’t happen, there’s still hope in seeing anarchists still try to do good. There’s communities like the Zapatistas Sure, but even those in smaller groups try to do something, like look at Ukraine, some are fighting, some are starting charities drives to help the people. It’s not always about bottle smashing but cooperation to strive for something better even if helps a few people at a time.

Watch out everyone. We’ve got a badass right here…

I'm so proud of her and happy for her for coming out. I just came out two weeks ago. We get to transition at the same time, cool.

Oh I remember when I was young wild free..now I am a slave of 9 to 6

I think this song is aboit how young anarchist want to make a change but laws and social norms make it inpossible for some of our messages to get across so many accept defeat and instead of the revolution coming to fruition those who claimed to be the true anarchist became the "new authority" becoming what they shouldnt have become and instead of fighting the hierarchy they became a part of it.

When this video came out a couple years ago, I thought it was a bit over the top and angsty. Now, I kind of think I remember. There was a teen in me I'm willing to admit to. The one that wanted crazy thing to happen. I remember.

What hit me about this video is the people who came to Laura's defense and tackled the pig at their own risk

2020 -- i want to set it on fire more than ever.

When I was in high school, this song used to wake me up every morning. I really wanted to set the world on fire (still)

Any thinking, feeling human being should become increasingly more anarchist with age.

There is a symbolic message here about how as a teenager the "anarchism" we believed in has faded away in our adult lives and we realize that the "anarchism" we once believed in was a lie and this is a reminiscent look back on when we were young.

Now you're onto something.

I think this fits for anybody of a scene: Punk, metal, ect ect, who becomes dissolute with the scene they were a part of; the song does go on how Laura once saw herself as a teenage anarchist who eventually became distant with that due to how things became. But of course without regretting where we started from.

What a bump in the road of top notch Against Me! songs.

Just make sure it doesn't become an esthetic. You really make revolution a lie then. Anarchism is more than being pissed at your parents (in fact it has nothing to do with it). Smashing Starbucks windows might make you feel like a rebel but when you grow up and revolution doesn't happen (because smashing Starbucks windows doesn't do shit), you will feel betrayed by what you believed in. You might have to face reality and accept, that while the chance for revolution is never zero, it still is pretty unlikely. Make it your cause to advocate for revolution. Take the chance if it's there but otherwise it's on you to make it happen for your children/grandchildren and so on. I'm not an anarchists but take the advice from a socialist. Sorry for the article I just had to write this down somewhere.

Literally one of the best songs I’ve ever heard

I remember when I wanted to set the world on fire. I fucking hated everything the governments of the world and what they stood for. Listening to rise against in my room, dreaming of standing up and fighting back, doing whatever I could to piss off authority figures. So yeah, I guess I was a teenage anarchist. This song brings back many memories.

This comment section proves, just like my friends, you don't get the song! " ... autonomy, they wanted me to surrender my identity" I agree with nothing this band has done in the past 10 years but thank you y'all for being the most honest punk band to ever play!!!! I love y'all!!!!

well damn this aged like fine wine

This song makes me sooo fucking nostalgic! I used to listen to it all the time in 7th grade when I was pissed off at everything and wanted to burn down everything and everyone around me. Tbh it kind of means more to me now just because of that. I mean now I'm listening to His Hero Is Gone and Choking Victim, but back then I though this was the punkest shit ever!

I was young when this came out. I understand the song more now than I did then.

reading comments I'am impressed by how many people did not understand the not realistic but symbolic text of the video, and how many growing up, think they got wise but they just got worse.

Such a well-done music video. I'm in love!

The fact that the video is in slow motion makes it so tense and suspenseful

This song, so hot in Hong Kong right now.
