Storm-song by Ryan Harvey from Riot Folk!

The song is already on youtube but this one is a bit diffrent.

Lyrics:

This country ain't nothin but a company's dream

a couple hundred million workers that's all that they see

our hands on our tools, money writing the rules

from the sweatshop prisons to the cops in the schools

got the middle class livin like it's gonna last

workin longer, harder hours for less & less cash

got the media spins, republi-crat twins

got the war profiteering for good executive friends

got the heroin runnin through the veins of the poor

got the ghettos locked down paying blood for the war

got the city's decay, the dealers to pay

and the death squads working for the cia

you got a million new jobs inside a thousand new jails

outsourcing the unions, profit dipin in the scales

you got a brainwashed youth, a trumped up truth

and snipers aiming rifles on the factory roof

you got a 30 min speech full of ooo's and ahh's

got the cops armed tough out there breakin the laws

you got the front row seat to your own defeat

you got the tear gas canisters fillin the street

you got the laws all written for the rich and the white

trick the rest of those fools into the army to fight

in a dead end game, each war the same

you got a land and a people and a market to claim

you got a woman beaten down everywhere that you look

in the courts, in the jails, in the schools and the books

got the the tv set, sexisms on it

you got a country full of men taught to fall for that shit

yeah and i do too, i'm not blaming you

but i'm trying to unlearn what they said was true

yeah and i need help, i'm not afraid to say it

it's a subliminal tool sometimes it's hard to see it

you got a job in an office, you got your own room

got the pen and the paper and a drive to consume

got the suit pressed in, got to insist you win

and the raise to replace true ambition

you're gonna move up the ladder at the company's speed

gotta learn to dance quick for the company's greed

gotta justify every step that you can

with your eyes closed tight and your head in the sand

you gotta fight the desire to fight the police

you gotta fight your heart and your every belief

you gotta trust the leader, whatever he says

with the flag held high, yeah...you're already dead

you already gave up if you took their advice

if you played their game, you payed their price

you're gone gone gone, yeah there's no comin back

unless you realize your potential, raise your fist and react

if we look to each other and to ourselves

and ignore the phoney remedies they stock on the shelves

we can undermind the greed on which the system depends

in hopes to build a new world based on lovers & friends

we gotta build at the bottom what we want at the top

we gotta work together if we want this to stop

from the thick grass roots to the top of the tree

i aim for peace and justice and anarchy

i want peace and justice an anarchy

In capitalism, you have the choice to either work for your own ends, or work for another in exchange of labor for wage. I've read plenty of actual literature (historical non-fiction specifically) on communism. As you've stated already, you've denied choice in what one chooses and this is fundamental to any socialist/collectivist system. The argument made that the USSR wasn't communist is merely the argument that somehow when you do it, it will be any different. It won't be.

Capitalism is not voluntary, if you don't work for a wage master, you will not have the means of subsistence to get food or shelter. I'm not replying until you read some actual literature on communism. You hold an utterly distorted view of communism. It is stateless and classless, there are no rulers. I bet you think the USSR was communist, hahah. But on a more serious note, communism can't have coercion, because there aren't any rulers, like there are inherently in the state and capitalism.

"You can't choose" well there is the summary of Communism in a nutshell, and why it's diametrically opposed to Capitalism. Capitalism being voluntary trade and exchange of goods between individuals, Communism being coercion, exploitation and expropriation of the individual under the guise of a "collective" good.

It's impossible to exploit someone who is agreeing to be "exploited". I would say that they're exploiting my payroll account as hard as I'm exploiting their willingness to allow them to exploit it before I find someone cheaper..

You can't choose to simply choose to exploit and oppress people. Sorry...
