i'm listening to it now because hillary clinton has been working the accusation that trump thinks the united states is a third world country into her stump speeches. she's saying it every day. a few times a day.
if you're familiar with the track, you know the line:
america is a third world country.
and i think it's pretty sad that people can't recognize that their own country is a third world, third rate, third class slum.
you can agree with him or not. the third world is defined by tremendous wealth inequality, which was the result of enforced market theory from the outside. neither the united states nor europe had ever truly been a market economy until the last thirty years or so, but the colonies have been since the dawn of colonialism. india. china. africa. south america. it's a part of the process of colonialism.
so, it shouldn't be so much of a shock to see north america approximate third world conditions when it adopts third world (market) economics.
but, that's secondary. more to the point is that this guy (who the band also samples on their first record) is a trump voter. clear as day. this was recorded in the 90s, but what you hear in the track is what is fueling things forwards.
maybe listening to the track will clarify why hillary's response of attacking him for a lack of patriotism is something roughly equivalent to "let them eat cake".
it's becoming more and more apparent that if sanders doesn't win, then trump will.
