If you haven't listened to Phil Ochs you're not tearing down the system correctly

American protest singer in the 60s and 70s. Originally was a social democrat, but he became a socialist in 68. A series of shitty things (riots in Chicago, MLK assassination, and the coup in Chile, among other things) sent him into a depression, and he committed suicide in 76.

The FBI's file on him was over 500 pages long and continued to list him as 'potentially dangerous' for several months after his death.
