I love this song so much. But the sound of the audience is mixed in here I think.

the plebeians

birth of warindustry 1914 , purpose: to benefit economy2nd reason de population of poor people? who can say for sure that is a yes or no?what is the reason? god? freedom? fighting for moral reasons? or fossile resources?to stop war industry, we need to start see it for what it is, death it's own compagny.and we are all investers, employees, customers, or the one who gets it.the one who gets it is like a bingo system, when your number falls its your turn,every nation also has a number and the more stupid our policticians are, the more like our number is gonna come up, wich the others wont give a damn about,the only people who really hate war is those who have seen it and lost all theire stuff and familly. the rest of the world is a part of it, untill you are completely stripped from everything you own as well. to shoot one of the snake heads is only gonna make the snake grow back another head, plus a spare head extra.we need to fight corruption and untouchablilty worldwide, so that the lawsystem is there for us, and not the other way around. our biggest weapons are striking, stopping transport and transactions from happening and sharing the truth with each other,and i pray to the god i believe in, that there are still people out there who are willing to protect our international rights and citisen ship over the grasp of the small pitt of war mongering snakes that are ruling us to our own deaths and destruction of our world.so let us all fight the corruption within our own reach, and lets start talking solutions together, there have got to be solutions, but to see them we must unite online, out on the streets, on your work, everywhere! and make that change no matter how small it is,corruption started at the top and ran down, so to clean that mess up, to me it seems logic that first we stop corruption in the little things, even ourselves, our jobs,ect.than we demand the same from our bosses, and they will have to do the same and demand the same from theire bosses.ect all the way till it runs up to the top.and by that time we will all clearly stand for the same things: peace and equality.and if the high top still dont wanna listen, we will make them listen somehow. The biggest question is, if we are to clean up corruption, how can we make surethat it wont just start all over again? how can we ensure that people do not get so much power that it poisens theire minds? for that means we have to take more resposibilities ourselve and that is something easy to underestimate,we have to learn to self govern, and create a system where corruption is NOT POSSIBLE. I challenge every person on this world to contribute to such a system,some say it is a myth, a utopia, but if that fantasy is in all of us,than why could it not become reality one day? I believe it can.if we all work together, stop thinking black and white and left and right,stop beeing divided but unite! we are the 99%! we shall overcome this.

Staten, I believe he is referring to the military Juntas ran by rouge regimes in South America. Basically fascist in nature, these leaders kill without mercy anyone who opposes them. In essence, he hates tyrants who kill at will. Personally, I agree with him, though I am generally peaceful by nature. Unfortunately, there are some people so ruthless and hateful, that the only way to deal with them is to kill them for the greater good.
