Militia is my favorite "believe it or not they're not nazis" anti-fascist industrial/power electronic/noise/who cares band. And they do plenty of splits with the fascists, so basically everyone is full of poo poo and out to provoke because sensationalism is fun, and I'm ok with that.

This poo poo is super rad.

Thanks for the recommendation on Militia.

I'm a huge fan of Laibach and have followed them for years -- I collect their merchandise, and for a stint in grad school, wrote/researched on the NSK (Neue Slowinsche Kunst, "New Slovenian Art") movement they're involved in. They issued fake passports for the NSK in Yugoslavia that purportedly allowed some people to flee from warzones during the Balkan conflicts. My only real criticism with them is that there's some weird kind of symbiotic relationship with Slavoj Zizek, and that guy is insufferable.

Also -- Laibach's commentary on Rammstein is the greatest:

quote:

When members of Laibach were asked by an interviewer about Rammstein "stealing" from them, they responded that "Laibach does not believe in originality... Therefore, Rammstein could not 'steal' much from us. They simply let themselves get inspired by our work, which is absolutely a legitimate process. We are glad that they made it. In a way, they have proven once again that a good 'copy' can make more money on the market than the 'original'. Anyhow, today we share the territory: Rammstein seem to be a kind of Laibach for adolescents and Laibach are Rammstein for grown-ups." Laibach would later provide a remix for the Rammstein single Ohne Dich.


Drone and martial industrial is one of my guilty pleasures (I leave it on while working in the lab), and I hate admitting to enjoying it because the entire scene is populated by a slew of people who are absolutely, completely, entirely, definitely not neofascists (but hey want to read some Francis Parker Yockey in a totally not racist way? ...the Boyd Rice fans doth protest too much). It's gross.

Look sometimes a totenkopf and wolfsangel are just totenkopfs and wolfsangels.

What's with your obsession with assigning value to my politically, racially, ideologically, and culturally charged symbols? You're the real fascist, trying to suppress my expression and question it.

Here's a charming interview with Boyd Rice. He's the hero neofolk deserves.

I find it funny Shekhovstov lectures academics on obscure neofolk bans as the great nazi threat.
eh not really. he's sort of the opinion that neofolk is a reflection of an ideological current on the far right that deliberately avoids getting involved with politics. boyd rice pops up on the metzger show but there's not a lot of real political activity.

it's the far right equivalent of "lifestyle anarchism." harmless isn't the right word, but in terms of nazi stuff it's pretty anodyne.

'Oh man he wrote all those songs that sound really racist and hangs out with these nazis and was a member of nazi groups in the 80s, but he makes good music so surely david tibet can't be racist :ohdear: '
some of them remind me of people who play WW2 nazi dress-up.

another thing is that the crimes of the nazis were so bad, everything associated with them (including nazi aesthetics) has been tainted. like a lot of modernist art and architecture that had its roots in nazism has been quietly divorced from its origins. but just because the nazis built flak towers and atlantic bunkers doesn't mean you're forbidden to appreciate brutalism, which was directly inspired by it. art can have dodgy politics but still be "good art."

it's more complicated because nazis tend to be furtive. they hide their politics, unlike communists who blah blah blah about it constantly. jonathan meades called nazis "pedophiles in jackboots."

well why not? yukio mishima wrote some great books. the guy also sliced his guts open after a failed fascist coup.

the non-racist neofolk fans are spinning themselves into knots over this and it's retarded. they can recognize it as fascist music and still say that it's good on an aesthetic level.

Brutalism, stemming from functionalist architectural schools, predates nazism. Also the Nazis weren't the first or only ones to build concrete military structures.
