Rage Against the Machine is the name crossover of a famous band, disbanded in 2000 when GWB was elected (elected?) president of the united states of america, maybe the band was able to give more meaning to the word crossover in terms of musical, social and political.

But Rage Against the Machine and more. It 'slogan, is a scream, is an essential reminder to say I do not know, something like ..
"remember not to be a slave."
The machine is the gear's daily life, moderation is the politically correct, is the fear, is the global market, are the ambitions of power, are the limitations that imposes on you. And 'the institution, it is injustice, are the strains of a prisoner, is the trusted computing, are the rules that we do not understand, do not want.
But the most striking thing is that on the cover of Rage's first album there's a famous photo, a photo of a Buddhist monaco, monaco a Vietnamese Zen, a Vietnamese Zen monaco in flames. His name was
Thich Quang Duc, and his story is one that perhaps best represents the message of the words "Rage Against The Machine."

Thich Quang Duc, born Lam Van Tuc, was slain on June 11, 1963. As with any act monaco zen is a need to specify the purpose. His was just an act, but an act of profound and infinite compassion. If you really want to seeking a social motivation, or motor for this action, you can find in the war in his country divided and oppressed by social and religious persecution in violent interference by foreign countries, in the people who savaged divisions in the name of hairpieces, flags with the face of hatred, for the survival of "the machine".
The site dedicated to him is a beautiful poem, the author is called Drew Logan, I took the liberty to translate it (you do not intend to domino domino, but I think is meant by the Vietnam Domino Theory http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domino_effect ):
They said you were an addict
He said you were a communist
They said you were just an old rincitrullito
They did not say anything about your spirit
not they said nothing of your courage
They did not say anything about your compassion
heart of Saigon, Phan Dinh Phung angle and Le Van Duyet
South eleven of June, millenovecentosessantatre
front of the world you have sacrificed.
Lam Van Tuc, the old boy of seven years
He gave his life to become a knowing Monaco
Thich Quang Duc, a Monaco of sixty-seven years old
He gave his life knowing that I become a saint.
They talked about the issue of communication domino
spoke of freedom
They did not say anything about the civil war
They did not say anything about the Buddhist
not have said anything oppression
heart of Saigon, Phan Dinh Phung angle and Le Van Duyet
eleven noon of June, before the whole world millenovecentosessantatre
you sacrificed.
