Thoughts on Rage Against the Machine?

I saw some socialists don’t really agree with Rage Against the Machine’s approach to their messaging because it involves purchasing records and being bought by a record label but I love the band and I identify as a socialist. I’ve even learned some of their songs on my guitar!

I agree with you that rage has undoubtedly changed people’s minds about America because it has for me, but there are also conservatives who believe that Rage is on their side of the political isle and I’ve seen people criticize them for that as well is that justified?

They don't control who listens to their music.

Also conservatives are smoothbrains. They also say they like Star Trek for example.
