“- Crass, a capitalist band who betrays what it always stood for

Yes, I’m really talking about Crass, this anarcho-hypocritical band who’s bragged about giving away albums for free in their biography during the ‘80’s. They even produced a couple of albums specifically to give them away, including 20,000 free copies of the album “Sheep Farming”. They’ve also bragged about never touching a single dollar of profit in the whole history of their band and always selling albums at the cost of production. If internet and file sharing existed in 1980, Crass would have supported it and they would have given their albums away for free through file sharing.

Is that their definition of “fighting against capitalism” ? These people pretended to want an anarchist society but they can’t even take a friendly agreement between anarchists without using capitalist laws and system. They pretend to fight for anarchism but they can’t even act the same way we would in an anarchist society.

Crass is now officially and undeniably a capitalist band who betrayed all of their ideals. They’re now using capitalism to defend their own interests : personal profits, whatever is the price to pay, even if other bands should be penalized by their actions and even if it implies licking the asses of the bourgeoisie. We notice the same logic from the big capitalist companies that don’t care about others in their ultimate quest for maximum profits.”
