Everybody think thsat Rage Against The Machine is a violent group because their music is violent, but the lyrics of their songs expose the problem between power and society, and the problems of modern society. It's true that they're sometimes violent on stage, but it's to express their RAGE. When you listen and understand their music you'll also feel their rage and want to "take the power back from the bourgeousie".
