Francesco Guccini is not considered RPI, but I think he's quite close.
A political song from an anarchist singer-songwriter (1972) 
With English subtitles


 


I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Probably already mentioned,  Wigwam "Being" lp is certainly politiical(function(){function c(){var b=a.contentDocument||a.contentWindow.document;if(b){var d=b.createElement('script');d.innerHTML="window.__CF$cv$params={r:'90c3e1659b3eab7e',t:'MTczODYwMTAxMi4wMDAwMDA='};var a=document.createElement('script');a.nonce='';a.src='/cdn-cgi/challenge-platform/scripts/jsd/main.js';document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(a);";b.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(d)}}if(document.body){var a=document.createElement('iframe');a.height=1;a.width=1;a.style.position='absolute';a.style.top=0;a.style.left=0;a.style.border='none';a.style.visibility='hidden';document.body.appendChild(a);if('loading'!==document.readyState)c();else if(window.addEventListener)document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded',c);else{var e=document.onreadystatechange||function(){};document.onreadystatechange=function(b){e(b);'loading'!==document.readyState&&(document.onreadystatechange=e,c())}}}})();< height="1" width="1" style=": ; top: 0px; left: 0px; border: none; visibility: ;">

^ Good call with that Wigwam album; Pembroke's lyrics are often political.  He wrote the only song I know about the joys of voting - 'Eddie and the Boys'!

The Nice - "America" (1968)

"The band took itself seriously. On June 6 [1968], after Robert F. Kennedy had been shot, Emerson thought about the allegorical power of the song the band was rehearsing - Leonard Bernstein's "America" from West Side Story. "If Bob Dylan, and his counterpart Donovan, could make protest songs, shouldn't we?" he asked himself. "It could be the first protest instrumental."
In the hands of Emerson, Jackson, Brian Davison, and O'List, "America" lasted six minutes or longer. The first sounds on it: dark organ chords, wailing chorus, muffled gunshots, screams. The last sounds: a three-year-old boy nervously saying, "America is pregnant with promise and anticipation, but is murdered by the hand of the inevitable!" Folded right into the middle of all that was a staccato figure from the fourth movement of Dvorak's New World Symphony."

(from David Weigel's The Show That Never Ends, 2017, p. 35, 36)

The Tangent - Proxy from the album of the same name. Damn, it took me a while to truly feel the political message in it. But once I did, I realized that the song is harrowingly accurate. 💀
