what's a good protest song for anti-war, anti-ice, and anti-oligarchy?

Rise Against - Hero of war Not a "play at protests"-song, but powerful nevertheless

A lot of Rise Against song could fit this

Mass destruction - Faithless

Whether long range weapon or suicide bomber
Wicked mind is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether you're soar away sun or BBC 1
Misinformation is a weapon of mass destruction
You could a Caucasian or a poor Asian
Racism is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether inflation or globalization
Fear is a weapon of mass destruction

Whether Halliburton or Enron or anyone
Greed is a weapon of mass destruction
We need to find courage, overcome
Inaction is a weapon of mass destruction

I don't know if this quite fits all the remit, but, it's what came to mind:

Honestly I like hear my hope from hazbin hotel as a protest song. The citizens of hell standing up together and finally saying “no, we’ve had enough“ seems especially fitting.

The whole "American Idiot" album applies here, I think.

this is my favorite one by stereolab, it is called 'ping pong' and it's really sarcastic when it comes to war and capitalism

There's only millions that lose their jobs
And homes and sometimes accents
There's only millions that die
In their bloody wars, it's alright

Already commented on this, but thought of some more:

Isley Brothers: Ohio/Machine Gun - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XC6qOvfgDJI (this is a cover of 2 tunes, the first by Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, the second by Jimi Hendrix)

And just released today (like, 2 hours ago) - Massive Attack, Tom Waits - Boots on the Ground: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-57FrioeuE
