Morello's the radical intellectual backbone of the band, imo.

Not that the others in RATM don't share the same politics, roughly, but
Morello has always come across to me as a voracious reader, thinker, and
intellectual who also just so happens to also know how to play a guitar,
and decided to use that vehicle, instead of scholarly treatises in
leftist publications, to get his point(s) across. Saying this takes
nothing away from his musical accomplishments. I wish I could play
guitar as good as him!
