I wrote a post about the history of the movement "Rock Against Racism" but as we lurch from bad to worse in a post-Brexit, Donald Trump world, I'm now going to post a video playlist of specific anti-Fascist or anti-Nazi songs. The songs don't really require any smart-arse comments from me but can stand alone and speak for themselves.
1) Leadbelly "Mr Hitler"
2) Woody Guthrie - "All You Fascists Bound To Lose"
3) Linton Kwesi Johnson - "Fight Dem Back"
4) Tom Robinson - "Power In The Darkness"
5) Gang Of Four - "Outside The Trains Don't Run On Time"
6) Crass - "The Gasman Cometh"
7) Steel Pulse - "Ku Klux Klan"
8) Dead Kennedys - "Nazi Punks Fuck Off"
9) Men They Couldn't Hang - "Ghosts Off Cable Street"
10) The Specials - "Why?"
11) Fire Engines - "We Don't Need This Fascist Groove Thang"
12/13) Minutemen - "Political Song For M.Jackson To Sing" / "Fascist"
14) The Fall - "Who Makes The Nazis?"
15) Propaghandi - "The Only Good Fascist Is A Dead Fascist"
16) The Ex - "They Shall Not Pass"
17) MDC - "John Wayne Was A Nazi"
18) Blaggers ITA - "House Of The Fascist Scum"
19) Sonic Youth - "Youth Against Fascism"
20) The Dicks- "No Fascist friend"
“ – the dangerous words, the padlocked words, the words that do not belong to the dictionary, for if they were written there, written out and not maintained by ellipses, they would utter too fast the suffocating misery of a solitude …” Jean Genet Introduction to “Soledad Brother – The Prison Letters of George Jackson”
