Baby, I'm an Anarchist! (2:39)

Turin, Maybe because human beings are complex individuals, and just because you agree with the morals and values of one individual does not mean that you are now suddenly different. Liberal and Anarchist are just generalizing words that act as blanket terms. I know this might be hard to understand, but just because you agree with one person does not mean you have magically turned into a "liberal sellout". I'm pretty sure that the boys still have the same ideals and values they did before, and supporting someone in a different political party doesn't change that. If they think Obama is acting like an idiot, I'm pretty sure they'll let us know how they feel. The song itself is about an individual being a "spineless liberal", not every single liberal ever. There are exceptions to every rule, and there are definitely many contrived anarchists running around. Not all liberals do nothing but politically masturbate each other, some actually do things.

I mean, how can you support Barack Obama and Eric McDavid at the same time? It escapes me.

It's amazing how someone can write this kind of song with so much heart and ideal, a song that shows how spineless/cowardly/hypocritical liberals really are, and then become liberal sellouts themselves and endorse Obama. Did they actually believe Obama is genuine change or is it just the money talking? It's really sad, but this song still always picks me up and i love it. And still after all that, Tom goes and writes a beautiful ballad about an anarchist (Anna is a Stool Pigeon). I just don't get it...

sometimes selling lots isn't selling out. new wave brought Against me! to the masses, so that people would see New Wave , then hear about the older stuff against me! did and then realize how awesome against me! are.

The amazing thing about this song is how awesome it is given that the band who is principally known for performing it are apolitical, brain-dead assholes.

LOL. WTF_Missile...We are all already in the know. They even did a commercial to promote voting using their song 'Stop'. They're not Anarchist anymore, if they ever really were.

i like against me as much as anyone else (except the new album which is alright ish) but i mean, come on. its kind of obvious that if they signed to a major label that is giving up on your anarchist principles man..i dont want to hear any bollocks about them "getting anarchism out to a wider audience" because their politics was quite clearly turned down into liberal "down with bush man!!!!" politics if any politics at all. and also "christian anarcho socialist"? well done for denying institutions then inheriting ideas from one.

Turns out they never were Anarchists. Still, too bad.

All Anarchists are socialist, friend. // I want to break into this song every time I speak to a reformist. // Against Me! did a Rock the Vote without endorsing 'No One' for president? Confirmed sellouts. Oh well. Nice while it lasted.// LOL@ 'Anarchy' being childish. That person doesn't even know that 'anarchy' isn't an ideology. Anyone who doesn't recognize AnarchISM as rational can discuss it with me...maybe Howard Zinn or Noam Chomsky. They answer emails.

Actually, I consider myself a Christian Anarcho-Socialist [but other than typing this out here I've never said that to anyone], so if someone considers [all] anarchy to be "childish"... perhaps they haven't read enough? I would have to say though, this song is mostly satire and a song that always gets me to laugh. Who cares whether or not Against Me! actually are/were "true" anarchists, etc. Brothers and sisters, get a sense of humor. Like, now! =]
