The ABCs of Anarchism

A three-track collection, it incorporates samples of songs from Chumbawamba's Tubthumper (1997) as well as music by the then-current artists including Ice Cube and the Spice Girls, and television shows such as M*A*S*H and Teletubbies.

The EP, whose name is taken from the 1929 Alexander Berkman book of the same name, makes extensive use of sampling of pop songs and themes from movies and TV.

[1] Lyrically, it focuses on children's media as well as political theory, and criticizes PBS, the BBC, WWF (since renamed the WWE), Noam Chomsky, George Bush, and Doris Lessing.

[4][5] Negativland described the 13-minute long title track as a "simultaneously informative and confused trolley tour through the backlot of an often misunderstood political point of view".

[1] Heather Phares, writing for Allmusic, awarded the EP three stars and wrote that the album highlighted the "common ground" between two politically radical groups, one of whom was commercially successful.
