"The Poverty of Philosophy" isn't a song; it’s a political manifesto. Immortal Technique uses this spoken-word track to dismantle the "divide and conquer" tactics used by the ruling class. The core message is a rejection of false binaries. He argues that the real conflict isn't between races or religions, but between the global elite and the working poor. He critiques "urban" culture for glorifying consumerism (labels, cars) which keeps the marginalized in a cycle of debt and mental slavery. Technique calls for Internationalism, urging listeners to see their struggle as connected to the oppressed in Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East.
His final takeaway: Freedom isn't an individual achievement; it’s a collective liberation that starts with decolonizing your mind.
