Frases de Jello Biafra

Eric Reed Boucher , más conocido por su nombre artístico Jello Biafra, es un músico estadounidense punk y activista político mejor conocido por haber sido el cantante y líder de los Dead Kennedys durante la primera etapa de existencia de la banda. Para muchos es considerado líder intelectual del movimiento punk. Después de que el grupo se disolviera, se convirtió en un solista y artista de palabra hablada, y publicó numerosos álbumes de ambos géneros mediante su sello discográfico, Alternative Tentacles. En su vida política, es un activo miembro del Green Party[1]​ y participa en campañas de activismo relacionadas con sus visiones políticas progresistas. Es también un autoproclamado anarquista[1]​ , y aboga por la desobediencia civil y por las bromas en el nombre del cambio político. Biafra es conocido por usar tácticas mediáticas absurdistas siguiendo la tradición de los Yippies para destacar cuestiones de derechos humanos, justicia social y anti-corporativismo.

Su nombre artístico es una combinación de la marca Jell-O y del nombre del país de corta duración de Biafra que intentó separarse de Nigeria en 1966. Después de cuatro años de lucha y horrenda hambruna, Nigeria retomó el control del naciente estado de Biafra. Jello Biafra creó su nombre como una combinación irónica de un comestible producido masivamente y de una hambruna masiva. Wikipedia

“I am an anarchist in my personal life. I try to live my life in a way that I don't need cops or baby-sitters to keep me from infringing on others. But I don't feel we have evolved far enough as a species to make anarchy work in society itself.”

Contexto: I am an anarchist in my personal life. I try to live my life in a way that I don't need cops or baby-sitters to keep me from infringing on others. But I don't feel we have evolved far enough as a species to make anarchy work in society itself. We still need government to transfer the wealth from those who have too much to those who have too little, to make sure important projects get done, and keep territorial humans from screwing over and killing each other.

Biafra's Nicknames for Various Political Figures

“Some day, even the experts will figure out, that crime is not caused by rap music…or even my music, but by a power structure of self-absorbed property owners so brain dead and stupid they won't even see that if you're too goddamn greedy to pay taxes for schools and services, they're not going to be any good any more! And that uneducated time bombs are a very poor investment as a future work force. And if you go on teaching people that life is cheap, and leave them to rot in ghettos and jails, they may one day feel justified in coming back to rob and kill you. Duh!”

“I am Emperor Ronald Reagan
Born again with fascist cravings
Still, you made me president

Human rights will soon go 'way
I am now your Shah today
Now I command all of you
Now you're going to pray in school
I'll make sure they're Christian too
…
You'll go quitely to boot camp
They'll shoot you dead, make you a man
Don't you worry, it's for a cause
Feeding global corporations' claws

Die on our brand new poison gas
El Salvador or Afghanistan
Making money for President Reagan
And all the friends of President Reagan”
