Hey Clare,
Nice choice of music. Who knows what he is singing about, right?
The sad part about you is that most of the time you have no idea what you are talking about.. I don't think I can imagine you not living in your OXO tower penthouse.. being able to ONLY listen to music that has hidden or blatant brainwashing communist messages and nothing else, waiting in a queue for luxuries such as bananas for 5 hours in the cold, having to eat vegetables for months because there is no meat available in supermarkets, not being able to go to university because a distant family member is against the communist party, being IDed and bullied by officials and police all the time, not being able to go travel anywhere without official special permission.. the list goes on forever, these are just the relatively nice bits my parents had to go through, and then risked their lives whilst escaping to a democratic country where no matter how poor, they would still be treated as human beings.
Do us all (who actually have some direct or indirect experience with real not theoretical bullshit communism and socialism) a favour and just focus your rants against more acute situations such as Palestine and Sudan.
