¿Suerte Noam Chomsky se opone a que sus obras se vendan en Barnes & Aristocrático?. No, por que allà es donde la Familia común compra sus libros. No estamos interesados en predicar nuestra música solo para aquellos que no obstante están convertidos. Es maravilloso tocar en un lugar abandonado y que está ocupado ilegalmente por anarquistas, pero también es genial ser capaz de alcanzar a las personas con un mensaje revolucionario, desde Milgrana Hills hasta Stuttgart.
