Fascism is the future for a perfect world. Plagues like capitalism and communism are the reasons why the World is as fucked up as it is! Also the Western world is losing everything called morale, discipline, ethics, and it's all about personal welfare. Nobody gives a damn fuck about our future, or what we can do to attempt to make a better world. Fascism is not racism! Please give the truth a chance, because if we get strong enough, the World might be saved!
Hold on Pls, I think we are all on the same team. True the vid would have more relevance if images of Palin, Cheney, Bush, Libby, Koch Bros., Trump, Ryan and the Congress members that are proxies of Wall Street and Special Interest Groups i.e., record profits for Heath, Energy, Oil and Gas and the American citizen is stripped of the basic safety net, even Medicare, Social Security are targeted. The American people are under attack RIGHT NOW, Better than 99% of those on this site, layoff him
Cool idea, but fascism is defined as a merger of state & corporate power. Instead of showing history book fascists, you should update Woody Guthrie's (not Billy Bragg's, ICYDK) message & make it relevant for the 21st century. 21st century fascists would include people like Dick Cheney (whose relationship with Halliburton epitomises the definition of fascism as stated above). There's no shortage of fascists in today's world, and very few of them are actually CALLED fascists. Do your homework...
@RedFrankCook The fact that there are REAL, live fascists still out here (like the Bushes), and all these examples are historical cases (thus implying it is a phenomenon of the past). The fact that he's using Billy Bragg's cover implies that the song has relevance to the present day (which it does), but does not actually update the basic knowledge being referenced. In short, it's just plain dumb not to show modern fascists, too. Politics + Style - Thought = "Protest Chic".
@planetery So True, many would never consider themselves to be Fascists but who actually embrace Fascist Ideals. Just remember that the first thing Hitler did upon the passage of the Enabling act was to OUTLAW labor unions.
@planetery today's fascists and today's fascism is new democracy,like usa,like uk,france,all nato countries...they produce wars,unrest...war is bussines bussines is loads of money,money is power, power means rules,power exploits the world
Where I'm from the right supports free-market capitalism, with as little interference by the State as possible (unlike fascism, which seeks to create an all-powerful "State" controlling every aspect of people's lives.)
The Left, of course, also opposes fascism, because it seeks a society in which some measure of fairness is gauranteed by the law (unlike fascism, which "exterminated" millions of people, just for their religion.)
In fact in America, the far Right, the "neo-conservatives", contend that liberals are fascists! In almost all cases this is utter nonsense. but it proves my point, that fascism is rejected by both the Left, and the Right.
This song would have been great if it was made in the 30s. Oh well.....

This isn't an issue of "left" vs. "right."
Where I'm from the right supports free-market capitalism, with as little interference by the State as possible (unlike fascism, which seeks to create an all-powerful "State" controlling every aspect of people's lives.)
The Left, of course, also opposes fascism, because it seeks a society in which some measure of fairness is gauranteed by the law (unlike fascism, which "exterminated" millions of people, just for their religion.)

Fascism must be resisted wherever it is found, and in the end it must be defeated.
Long live liberty.

It's flowing beautifully now Stuart! Love the use of Cooper Black throughout-it goes wonderfully with the historical time line of Bragg's music.
