communism is cool

until it isn't

·2 min read

Communism is cool, face it. The kids are into it. Great artists preach it. I can still remember my own Che Guevara shirt I used to wear as a teenager.

I was a fan of the band Rage Against the Machine. Still am... kinda. They are communists. Progressives. But I repeat myself...

I really can't stand them as human beings, but I'll be damned if they're not cool! When Tom Morello gets up there and starts going wild on his guitar, while Zac yells into the microphone next to him... My head starts involuntarily banging. I can't help it. Their music rocks.

And that Che Guevara shirt... I loved it. I felt kinda edgy wearing it. I didn't know the first thing about Che. It didn't matter; I liked Rage, and Rage said he was cool. So he was cool.
