Oligarquismo

Oligarchy

Since the Neolithic, all the regimes that
We've seen work had oligarchy
In their ideological foundation
All these isms they impose on us
Never tried equality among men
They only served to perpetuate elites
In places of power and privilege

Which ism controls you?
In the Neolithic when man already knew sedentarism
Priests and healers took over leadership
They were revered for claiming to master spiritualism
They subjugated fellow countrymen with obscurantism tactics
They created religions, they created fundamentalism
They belittled women, they instituted sexism
Persians, Greeks, Romans in the name of expansionism
Invaded peoples and territories with a thirst for imperialism

The world saw the rise of Islamism and Christianity
Religions that blinded and led millions to fanaticism
Religion deified kings and legitimized absolutism
The church joined the state and strengthened totalitarianism
Jesuits tried to impose Catholicism on the world
Catholics created the Inquisition, the institution of barbarism
They killed millions of people to assert their dogmatism
And supported the discoveries that were nothing but terrorism

They plundered America and Africa and called it colonialism
Trafficked blacks around the world, moralized slavery
Europeans were also enslaved during feudalism
Lords subjugated peasants, it was pure vampirism
They've been ruling us since the Neolithic, nothing has changed
They've shown us 1000 regimes, nothing has changed
They dumb us down, manipulate us from school
Tell me, bro, which ism controls you?

Tell me, bro, which ism controls you?
Do you know who manipulates and controls?
Tell me, bro, which ism controls you?
Tell me, bro, which ism controls you?
With the industrial revolution came the notion of capitalism
Where workers were machines, humanism didn't matter
This dehumanism brought the rise of communism
A communism that began to rhyme with despotism
And pauperism

Europe as an Aryan nation was the goal of Nazism
Which ideologically supported the need for racism
Everything is the state, was the slogan of fascism
Which argued that there is only a nation when there is authoritarianism
Until neo-democracy came full of romanticism
Promising freedom without conditions
But the problem is that democracy didn't get rid of elitism
Elites remained in power and clientelism continued

Parties are financed by bourgeois institutions
Governments and economic power live in companionship
The right to vote only served to annihilate activism
They manipulate us with TV and newspapers in pseudo-journalism
In school they distract you with conjunctions and anaphorisms
You would be revolutionary if they taught you neoliberalism
They want you in the job market alienated but with civility
To work for pennies and adhere to conformism

Bilderberg rules the world, everything else is conformism
G20 and the European Union are extensions of this Machiavellianism
Forever subordinate, freedom is an illusion
Submissive and repressed we cheer for oligarchy
They've been ruling us since the Neolithic, nothing has changed
They've shown us 1000 regimes, nothing has changed
They dumb us down, manipulate us from school
Tell me, bro, which ism controls you?
Tear up your history books!!
