The Price Of Bread / Politics Of The Apocalypse

from Electric Dreams EP by All These Wasted Nuts

/

lyrics

global extinction forecast
sectarianism again a monkey on our backs
and we march on
to the shopping mall
we do not seek community
we do not shout for unity
all we have on the left is scrutiny
a capitalist dichotomy for equal opportunity
because we all
we all forgot the class war
no war but the class war
no war but the class war
no war but the class war
...

Please note:

”No War But The Class War (NWBTCW) is a motto expressing opposition to capitalism used by anarchist and communist groups.[1] It is also the name for a number of anti-authoritarian, anti-capitalist groups… As a slogan, "No War But The Class War" has been used by people not necessarily linked to any of the above groups. It is widely used by diverse Marxist groups as a means of underlining the priority of class struggle above other political aims and as a general anti-militarist slogan.” - wikipedia

Ignoring the "above other political aims" part, I feel the word "priority" can and should hold more nuance as it does have a plural form. Someone can understand the importance of something and have that help inform their actions without having it dictate a hierarchy. This song, by intention, aims at alluding to the necessity of divorcing struggles from neo-liberal politics... This song does not intend any delegitimisation of struggles against racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, nationalism, speciesism, and so on.
