Organizacion
Las Manos de Filippi
A Call for Revolutionary Organization Against Capitalism
Las Manos de Filippi's song "Organizacion" is a powerful critique of the capitalist system and its global impact. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of widespread misery and inequality, driven by the relentless pursuit of profit. The song criticizes those who blindly believe in the capitalist dream, symbolized by the aspiration to own a luxury vehicle, and highlights the superficiality and emptiness of such goals. The band points out the inherent flaws in a system that prioritizes wealth accumulation over human well-being, emphasizing that the true expansion happening worldwide is not prosperity but resistance against this oppressive system.
The song also delves into the false sense of peace that comes with the power to exploit and employ others. It underscores the idea that the ultimate goal of capitalism is money, drugs, weapons, and corruption, leading to the exploitation and plundering of resources, particularly in the so-called 'first world' countries. The lyrics suggest that the real spread across the globe is the death of this vile system and the rise of resistance against it. The song calls for international revolutionary organization against capitalism, bureaucrats, employers, and institutions like the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Furthermore, "Organizacion" addresses the complicity of the state in perpetuating this system, whether through democracy or dictatorship. The song criticizes the state's role in censorship and the exploitation of artists, highlighting the hypocrisy of those who defend the system while millions suffer. The lyrics also take a direct jab at political figures like Duhalde, labeling them as part of the problem and calling for radical action. The song concludes with a strong message against paying international banks and national taxes, advocating for a complete rejection of the capitalist system and its oppressive structures.
