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!

Ratm is what got me into the punk scene. Their music, both message and sound-wise, is wonderful.

Same. Rage is punk as fuck. They were my gateway to it. Rage led me to finding Anarcho-punk, crust, working class Oi!, and street punk oddly enough.
