Capitalism has brought with it progress, not merely in production but also in knowledge.
Be capitalist. Believe in capitalism. Love capitalism.
Be capitalist, my friend. Believe in capitalism, my sister. Love capitalism, my brother. Become capitalist, comrade!
It rewards us for being brave, it awards us for being innovative and thinking out of the box. Thinking out of the fucking box.
Embrace capitalism. Embrace capitalism!
However
Capitalism means that a few people will do very well, and the rest will serve the few.
Capitalism attacks and destroys all the finer sentiments of the human heart; it ruthlessly sweeps away old traditions and ideas opposed to its progress, and it exploits and corrupts those things once held sacred.
Capitalism offers freedom, but far from freedom, it enslaves us.
Enslaves you, enslaves us. Enslaves you, enslaves us. Enslaves you, enslaves us.
Enslaves you!
Enslaves us!
Enslaves you!
Embrace capitalism! Embrace the one who strangles you! Love the one who kills you! Fuck the one who kills you!
Hey guys, nothing in the world is irreversible, not even capitalism.

“Embrace Capitalism (until it strangles you) REMIXED” is Abraxas physical debut released in a one-off yellow vinyl pressing of 300 copies by Oráculo Records. The EP contains remixes by relevant electronic music artists and producers from the Spanish electronic darkwave scene such as Univac (Geistform), Nightcrawler, We Are Not Brothers, José Rodríguez and PanDemian.
"Embrace capitalism" is a simple, clear and forceful anti-capitalist message, based on famous quotes by so diverse personalities as Albert Einstein, Michael Moore or Henry Rollins from Black Flag, covered up among a tangle of electronic sounds, techno, darkwave, EBM and industrial music, with the aim of fulfilling the strange and challenging goal of making a large mass of public dance and later make them think about the messages that have consciously or unconsciously absorbed during the very human, trivial and necessary exercise of dancing in society. In the video, directed by Juan Carlos Cembreros (ScreenWarriors) and starring the model Miranda Díez, the degradation of the Western individual to which capitalism itself submits with its subtle mechanisms that we all embrace with supposed happiness is represented in a hyper-explicit way, capturing this concept in a young and beautiful woman who ends up totally shattered and unhinged because in our society the youngest are the most susceptible to capitalist trickery and women in particular, the most disadvantaged in a still unbalanced balance between genders at all levels and, in addition to this, in a sad 21st century in which we are witnessing the tyranny of beauty and the hyper-sexualization of girls. Embrace capitalism, allow the exploitation of yourself and others. Watch your own suicide.
Abraxas is a totally independent and self-managed project halfway between harsh electronic music, philosophical reflection and socio-political activism. Its main goal is to shake bodies and minds by spreading messages of individual and social self-criticism from the point of view of duality, extremes and contradictions, inherent to the human being and capitalist society.
