    And communism is worse. China boasts a greater population percentage of poor than America does. And has the same 1% controlling the most wealth.

      I’m an anarchist. I advocate for anarchism. I’m not a fan of China at all. But Capitalism is way worse than anything China is doing. Capitalism is why we have kids working in sweat shops, conflict minerals being mined in war-torn countries, colonialism, slavery, and fascism. World War 2 was directly caused by capitalism.

        As a rule, I generally don’t take seriously, anything that follows:

        I am an anarchist

        …unless it’s followed by the rest of the lyrics.

          In his book, Anger is an Energy, Johnny Rotten says:

          “That line, ‘I wanna destroy the passerby,’ I was talking about all those kinds of people, the complacent ones that don’t contribute, that just sit by and moan and don’t actually do anything to better themselves or the situation for others. The non-participating moral majority. I just thought ‘passerby’ was a better phrase, gets to the point quicker. Rather than use twenty-two words, just one nailed it rather well.”
