well, i get the idea that most of you on here are older than i am (14) so its not like i know that much of what i'm talking about. but i thought that punk was about individualism and democracy, so i wondered why some bands had socialist ideals. and i understand hating capitalism for its backstabbing ways. but i don't think a socialist system would really help much. maybe the real problem (as some people mentioned before) is in the people. if people learned not to value money and power as much as friendship and freedom, maybe then a capitalist system would work. but about the only political theory books i've read are "Animal farm" and "1984" by Orwell. peace.
