They are at least somewhat based. ‘Prison Song’ talks about the prison industrial complex and imperialism. There are also some other songs like toxicity or protect the land that sound anti-capitalism. I also just like there music in general. Their album Hypnotize is one of my favorites overall. Unfortunately, the song of the same name seems to talk about the Tiananmen protesters in a positive light and also talks about propaganda. My inference is that they see China as an “authoritarian” (capitalist?) country. They also talk a lot about freedom or liberty which is kind of cringe. So, what do you think?

      Maybe they’re MLM or something. I’m pretty sure the bombtrack video is pro-gonzalo

        their politics seem to be a mix of different ideologies, can’t really pin them down

        In their liner notes they would reference different causes, books, etc. It’s how I learned who Chomsky was, howard zinn too, subcommandante marcos and the zapatistas
