    The term Useful Idiot was first used by Vladimir Lenin. It is used to describe a person who is easily manipulated and, for the Communist part (and others), a person who can be used to support policies that are actually harmful to "the people."

    My takeaway is that the most productive or "useful" thing an idiot can do is to keep their idiotic ideologies to themselves and remain silent, rather than spread their ignorant and misguided views, which may have a negative consequence.

    For me this ''useful idiot'' song is about the once static lineage of the ''private self'', who had his meaning in the ' hierarchy of the Gods'' where he was once privately looked upon His guidance for common sense faith and knowledge, and NOT TO GET INVOLVED in man's Political Parties ''ties and lies'' of misguided people. like not to long ago, when one was asked to ''join'' in, one would statically repeat things like I GOT IT BRO, IGOD IT MAN, IGOT IT MY MAN, and I KNOW MAN, IKNOW MAN Anotherwords the idiot of long ago ''knew'' man's Humanism and his dynamic bullshit politics. that was/is embedded and programmed in pseudo science philosophy 'NOT TO GET INVOLVED IN IT'. Wherebye nowadays the Idiot's usefulness and his meaning has been turned upside down by hijacking his private right and meaning continuously for the changing and ''used'' now as a ''useful idiot'' tool by the Je[w]suit trained Zio-Con Humanists and their evolutionary tech drive towards global Satanism that again have turned the idiot's ''private self meaning'' upside down'' By which dethroned him and the rest of us who was/were once looked upon high by God, but now considered to be dumb as ''sheep and cattle'' or as idiot fools and dopes of this world that ''THEY''[ satan's men] want to keep his our private God given meaning 'dumb down and useful'.

    It's just a joke. I you have a record player and have Ænima, Useful Idiot is basically a recording of a record needle on a record that needs to be flipped, therefore the person would flip it and fall for the joke. Then they would be a "useful idiot".

    the way i look at this song is that the static is usually just useless dumb sound. like its an idiot you can say.but they use it in a useful to make music. making it a usedul idiot....seems simple and one-dimensioned for such a complicated band but thats how i look at it

    Ths song is just an extention to the ending of H., why is it a seperate song? The name most likely has something to do with his father but here's how I see it; what's a useful idiot? A tool.

    i completly disagree i hear a record skiping which is saying that someone who repeats something over and over again is a useful idiot because it helps maynered read thrugh his past to get to 46+2 it is also from H. which is about his father molesting him making him the useful idiot(his father that is)

    This song has no words which means Maynard is not going to use words to describe what's going on. This song is inbetween H. and Forty Six & 2. When I hear this song I think of something walking through leaves and coming closer to something making some sort of static sound. Since this song is before Forty Six & 2 I would think it's a man or being that is either progressing or trying to progress to be 46+2 (to understand what I'm talking about see the top rated interpertation of that song)
