Historical Materialism and the Materialist Dialectic Lyrics by Hammer and Sickle

The Manifesto

0

Hammer:
History it flows and constantly evolves and unfolds
That’s why we hold the belief that one day we’ll be free you see
Because it’s inevitable that we’ll be taking to the streets
And see it’s inevitable that we soon will control the means
.
But
The history of class struggle
Necessary armed rebels
Ever rising sea levels
Fighting off them white devils
Tells us that this future
Won’t stop them trying to shoot ya
Gotta risk it all to take it all
Have faith in what ya doing y’all
Sickle:
History it flows?
Brother that’s teleological
Or theological
Fucking illogical
Mm mythological
You should just stop the bull
Just stop the bull
Interlude:
What we must learn from history however, is that while the conditions for change always manifest themselves, it requires action on behalf of the revolutionary to propel us forward and force social change
Because of course if we don’t act, we submit ourselves to power, allowing it to dictate to us how we live. Thus, it is only through resistance that we truly achieve autonomy, that is, become political subjects
Sickle:
You know change be start with an act or a thought
History taught, it start from naught then surge forth
Yeah change and brought
It's what a subject wrought
You know nothing ain't won until a battle is fought
This rap will leave you distraught
Because the oneness you thought
And the two we support
Despite what you purport
We don’t have no rapport
Do I’ll keep this shit short
Antagonism gonna build a world for us, uh
Sickle:
Change don’t come around from thin air motherfuckers
And acting and the same as saying prayer motherfuckers
So get up out your arm chair
Class war we will declare
System we will decohere
Y'all should read some Rancière
We don’t fuck with Althusser
