With the “k”? Cooler than a polar bear’s toenails. The “k” is capitalized because it does the heavy lifting here. Mainstream acts that take hard-left political stances often announce themselves with all the subtlety of a flash-bang, but the most radical of them all manage to hint at their dangerous ideas without proclaiming their intentions to rage against the system - the epitome of the phrase, one might say.
