I protested Monsanto in NYC a few days ago, but I never knew about the corporation until they got congress to vote down labeling untested GMOs in food products just recently. I should pay attention to anti-flag's lyrics more closely because I've known this song for years yet I never knew about Monsanto.
@Diggerdeku There is no such thing as "free Healthcare" or "free education". Whether the government steals the funding from your paycheck or you pay for it individually, it still must be paid for. It just depends on whether you want corporate bureaucrats running it or private business. Don't be fooled into thinking something is free because they change the way you pay for it.
The Monsanto Company (NYSE: MON) is a multinational agricultural biotechnology corporation. It is the world's leading producer of the herbicide glyphosate, marketed in the Roundup brand, and in other brands. Monsanto is also the second largest producer of genetically engineered (GE) seed; it provides the technology in 49% of the genetically engineered seeds used in the US market. It is headquartered in Creve Coeur, Missouri.[2]
China actually has adopted a lot of free market policies so therefore they do have a competitive market, it's not like there is one company making wood flooring and there can't be another one. Also China is not socialist, they are a single party republic ruled controlled by the communist party. Everybody has the strength to fight against communism, but an entire government can not be destroyed and taken over in one day by a single small protest. If they were able to organize then they could win.
The goal of any economical system is to promote a fair society. The difference is that some of them were epic fails, while others have more or less achieved their goal But that's all right dude. While we have both liberals and socialists exposing their views in a democratic society, so we can find the best answer to the problems, we are safe. What we can't do is to surpress the freedom of speech. Sadly, there are lots of people who can't put up with opposing views (mainly leftists)
This is how GM works: A bacteria (or other organism) with a favorable trait is selected and a particular gene from it is isolated. This DNA strand is then truncated and altered to be made compatible with plant DNA. Then, this gene is fitted with DNA from a virus, forming a vector. The vector is then reproduced and injected into the plant cell in large numbers to increase the frequency that it lands somewhere on the genome. This process is not at all like breeding and carries unique risks.
I wouldnt agrre on that one, because I think the ideology behind it is to promote workers rights... My mum working at the ILO i know quite a lot on the subject. China on the other side is a libera socialism regime the worst you can get to, in fact their is extreme competitive market and that is why the average wage is so low. And in that case yes I agree that the people are seen as society and not as individuals. Yes as i said before the goal of socialism is to promote a fair society :)
@LyricsForAll88 expand your knowledge also about organisations like: world economic forum(wef), world health organisation(who), summits of the g8/g20, united nations organisazion(uno); european union(eu), north atlantic treaty organization(nato); new world order(nwo) and other international organisations... i think it is really important to know something about them, because they want to rule the world... ;) let us give the global players a monopoly game, not our planet!
GM crops are designed for growing food in environments where people are starving because they cant grow anything. Left alone, crops may not grow at all, nature has become imbalanced - soil has become infertile, pests populations grow too rapidly due to their predators dying out from human intervention. There are so many factors and unfortunately a lot of human-caused changes are close to irreversible in a single lifetime, so intervention is perhaps a good thing in these cases.
Except they genetically modify it as a pesticide to kill pests that would try to eat it. In smaller animals it causes large lumps and tumors. There is a study where they tested it on rats, look it up. It also happened to my dog from eating scraps of our food.
And who pay the price for the high standard of living in the capitalist countrys? Where do we get our cheap raw materials, child labour and land to dump alla our toxic waste? ignorance is bliss i guess...
I respect the angst and willing to do more than just write songs about getting wasted as our planet is going the same route...Information is power! And evil, greed, pride runs much deeper than world corporations and "governments" Those who hear the voice aren't blind to the full picture of how and why this world has become so corrupt. May blind eyes and deaf ears be open to not only the reason behind the corruption but the way out of it...for eternity
Oh, you're talking about Hollande. I guess he is not different from the average presidents that your country has had since WWII, even though he belongs to a socialist party. China is socialist. Working 12 hours a day is what you get when you don't have a competitive market or an organized civilian society, but leaves everything on the hands of the state. The state won't think in you as an individual, but in the society as a whole. And nobody has the strenght to fight against that =)
Dude.. France had been liberal for 40 years before the last elections so the state of France has nothing to due with that please... And even though it can be argued that liberal regime work better for us would you agree that it helps workers in China that wotk 12 hours per day for an underpayed job with no healthcare... I would debate communism with you as well but not on youtube. :)

This song means so much today. Today was the world wide march against Monsanto. Bring that monster to it's knees.

Without Monsanto we would all be Communists. You don't need to like them, but learn the facts.

In my opinion this is one of the best songs of AF😍😍
Anti Flag should make a song about the Icelandic revolution and about how the world should follow it's example.
It's to white for people nowadays

Long live to the streets fighter! Long live to the indipendent punk groups.
thats more a personal and situational issue
@alpha728c universal healthcare > healthcare only for those who can afford it.

Stand up! Resist!
Are you REALLY trying to defend Monsanto's poison seeds? Good luck with that!
I love this band so much!!!!!!
Implying there's anything wrong with communism... Sure, it has it's flaws, but so does capitalism.

Monsanto is a fascist corporation. Maybe being a communist isn't such a bad thing. I prefer Anarchist Communism, myself. Learn the facts.
great lyrics man

@mromani1000 or perhaps I don't jump on fads like the organic movement.

Just a nother good song
@sciada I'd take proper communism anyday over corporate rule. But they both suck as options.
Lag?
You have no understanding of how this works, do you?
Wtf is up w the guitar n bass 😂

farming is a very risky business farmers need every advantage. besides you will never know you don't have the balls to be a farmer
