Fascism: An authoritarian regime based around a relationship between business and the state, virulent nationalism, state and business domination of the market, a personality cult, severe militarism, repression of any opposition or criticism, a strong support for a police state, and valuing the state above individual rights. Or, in simpler terms, a nation of rabbits ruled by stoats. Appeals are made to common prejudices Support is rallied through shows of brute strength Supporters are made through demagoguery Crowds are amassed to push the fascist into power Their efforts succeed to the horror of the sane The fascist takes power, and appeals to moderates They make people think they're without threat They build a power structure without stability Taking great care to allow no threats to the throne The leader convinces the people that he's for them Through sponsoring domestic companies The people believe their leader can save them From whatever crisis lead them to put them in power Their leader has their trust and they exploits it As a means to an end to their plans To feed their constant hunger for authoritarian power This is a world of citizen rabbits ruled by a class of predatory stoats This is a world of livestock in a field ruled by wolves filled with hunger This is a world of mice, scurrying in their nests, ruled by venomous snakes This is a world of people, some who are for it and some against, who are now ruled by a violent murderous fascist Protests will be met with teargas, rubber bullets, and nightsticks Ridicule will be met with censorship, backlash, and disappearances The fascist begins to enact their psychotic desires Through the power designated to them in the state Their supporters rally in ecstatic zeal Some misguided and some eager for bloodshed The horrors implied in the beginning are now carried out Their leader, like a disease, has spread their influence The people are either swallowed in zealotry or by fear There are no set laws in this nation Only whatever the leader decides is worthy of punishment Freedom is only a word here, toted by the rulers They claim that this is freedom, and that they are purging filth Some people know better, some truly believe this Some people feel neither, as their lives have been taken already The fascist says the nation is returning to glory To the past wherein people truly respected and loved their leaders To the past that their state idolizes as a sacred time Nationalism is used to organize the people Together as a violent hammer to bludgeon the skulls Of the enemies the state has made in its actions Atrocities are committed by people "just following orders" The body count of this administration grows daily Some are apathetic, some are enthused, some are horrified Some don't even know that these things are happening Some are among the corpses of the state's enemies This is a world of citizen rabbits ruled by a class of predatory stoats This is a world of livestock in a field ruled by wolves filled with hunger This is a world of mice, scurrying in their nests, ruled by venomous snakes This is a world of people, some who are for it and some against, who are now ruled by a violent murderous fascist Protests will be met with teargas, rubber bullets, and nightsticks Ridicule will be met with censorship, backlash, and disappearances Social Darwinism has taken hold of the people The fascist encourages it, claiming its only natural People in the streets lie skeletal for want of even moldy bread A meal which will never come, as they are perceived to be unfit to live The horrors implied in the beginning are now carried out The leader, like a disease, has grown and spread their influence The people are either swallowed in zealotry or by fear There are no set laws in this nation Only whatever the leader decides is worthy of punishment Freedom is only a word here, toted by the rulers They claim that this is freedom, and that they are purging filth Some people know better, some truly believe this Some people feel neither, as their lives have been taken already The fascist says the nation is returning to glory To the past wherein people truly respected and loved their leaders To the past that their state idolizes as a sacred time Nationalism is used to organize the people Together as a violent hammer to bludgeon the skulls Of the enemies the state has made in its actions Atrocities are committed by people "just following orders" The people have suffered greatly under the fascist But still the leader preserves his power structure Still the state oppresses the majority of its subjects Still there exist zealous supporters of this fascist state People are growing restless in their bindings Belief in this leader wanes more and more The formerly silent critics of the state begin to speak out The anger that has boiled in secret now bursts forth to scald To scald the leader who has destroyed so many lives To destroy the hierarchy with the waters of rage The people begin to tear down the structures that have been built They begin to bring down the monuments to the fascist They're fighting the administrators They're liberating themselves The bones of the state have been crushed People are sick of their hatred

I watched as a fascist was sworn into office I watched as this nation was torn into pieces I watched as many families were blown to bits I watched as soldiers were deployed to attack former allies I watched as the future became void and meaningless I watched as nations fell and crumbled into nothing but dust I watched as the sky went from light blue to an ashy black I watched as my friends were taken from their homes and shot in the street The future looks dark and devoid of all hope Children will know death before they know their names Entire cities will fall, crumble to nothing but rubble Mountains of corpses will fester in the town squares I watched as a fascist was sworn into office I watched as this nation was torn into pieces I watched as many families were blown to bits I watched as soldiers were deployed to attack former allies I watched as the future became void and meaningless I watched as nations fell and crumbled into nothing but dust I watched as the sky went from light blue to an ashy black I watched as my friends were taken from their homes and shot in the street We don't know who's safe and who isn't We don't know who will be added to the scapegoats and who won't We don't know how bad things truly will become We don't even know how long we have before action is taken I watched as the fires consumed entire valleys I watched as blood ran from the bodies of people I once knew I watched as the butts of guns were brought down upon skulls I watched as as a volley of bullets tore through my body Witness the bombs fall on the "subhumans" Witness the nightsticks fall upon innocents Witness your families drafted into their war Witness drones used to attack neighborhoods Witness the power given to the oligarch Witness the complete lack of a conscience Witness the genocide committed worldwide Witness the collapse of civilization I watched as a fascist was sworn into office I watched as this nation was torn into pieces I watched as many families were blown to bits I watched as soldiers were deployed to attack former allies I watched as the future became void and meaningless I watched as nations fell and crumbled into nothing but dust I watched as my body rot in the prison I watched as we were overtaken by death Witness the bombs fall on the "subhumans" Witness the nightsticks fall upon innocents Witness your families drafted into their war Witness drones used to attack neighborhoods Witness the power given to the oligarch Witness the complete lack of a conscience Witness the genocide committed worldwide Witness the collapse of civilization I watched as a fascist was sworn into office I watched as this nation was torn into pieces I watched as many families were blown to bits I watched as soldiers were deployed to attack former allies I watched as the future became null and meaningless I watched as nations fell and crumbled into nothing but dust I watched as the sky went from light blue to an ashy black I watched as world was swallowed by dark

"Do you remember, uh, the first time you killed someone?" "Yeah" "We played war stuff like that, but you know, it's never real." "We always learned that when someone died, it was something that was detrimental. Someone felt it. Someone else needed that person in their lives." "Its mission? Destroy the troubled spot and all of its inhabitants." "War crimes, crimes against humanity." "Have you ever killed anyone, and if so, what happened?" "Which time?" "To force me to do these things and then participate in the ensuing cover up is more than any government has the right to demand." "Then the same government has turned around and abandoned me." "I was down, and all I could see was him, and then I saw the red emblem, it was definitely it was.. It was his.. And I could see his silhouette, and I blasted him. So what? Not real people, they're just targets."

Theres no free thought in the dens of authoritarians If they could put a camera in your head at the moment of your birth they would You've got freedom of speech as long as it isn't against those pigs You can't criticize their state, It's their sacred sow of hateful fertility You can't employ any logic, such is blasphemy against their great saints of Aryanism You can't exist if you aren't approved by the nationalist administrators You may not live in any manner Which they deem to be filthy and repulsive If you don't have enough money to meet their demands Then you are nothing to them but a social parasite They'll barrage us with rubber bullets And call it nonviolent because they aren't real bullets This is the reality of their ideologies They can do this This is real They have the power We made the deal They can kill us Bullets will fly They have the power We're going to die They fill our homes They fill our state They fill our lives They fill the world They make us bleed They burn our eyes They plant their seed In your minds This is reality This is their desire But we outnumber them Let them taste fire Human swine sworn in on xenophobia and stupidity Through apathy and ignorance, the damnation of the human race They'll have riot police at our doors, They'll call us degenerates They'll break our backs They'll give us mustard gas They'll subjugate every single one of us, bring us beneath their heels Then force us to lick the boots of the wealthiest of the wealthiest They'll make us build monoliths to them They'll make us die for their vulgar vanity And if we don't comply to their demands Then they'll simply make us all disappear Destroy their statues Destroy their traditions Destroy their ideas Turn it all into ash Look around you The world is going to ignite We will be blistered But they will be charred

People starving in the streets Lynch mobs burning infants Corpses defiled for entertainment A family shot by their neighbor Drones dropping bombs on hospitals Nowhere is safe Everyone is a target Life is meaningless to them We don't wanna die We don't wanna die We don't wanna die But they come with their guns And they kill kill and kill The president rapes a woman He even fetishizes children But of course that's fine who cares The pigs on top say thats their fault Just like how they say it's the victim of a hate crime's fault For being the wrong skin color Fascists are emerging publicly again You tell me this has no affect? I don't wanna die I don't wanna die I don't wanna die But they come with their guns And they kill kill and kill I don't wanna die I don't wanna die You don't wanna die You don't wanna die We don't wanna die We don't wanna die But they want us to die

"What's happened over the past, roughly, 40 years is that both parties have shifted to the right. The Democrats are essentially what used to be called moderate Republicans. The Republicans are just off the spectrum. They're not a parliamentary party anymore." "You don't come and talk about America when you're supporting Muslims." "Goddamn wetbacks." "Sieg heil." "Build that wall, build that wall." "Send them bastards back." "I'm sure that paperwork comes in Spanish" "Ruin the country, as much as possible, hope that people will blame it on the Democrats, and maybe we can get power back again and we can follow our program of dedicating ourselves with utter servility to the needs of the very rich and the corporate sector. Now, of course, in order to gain votes they can't say that so what they've done is mobilized the sectors of the population that have always been there but have never really been politically mobilized." "Ignorance and immigrants they mix together." "If you don't speak English and don't contribute, get out" "They're having a hard time keeping it under control."

The earth, a feeble phantom Lies devastated by its former inhabitants Scars of their irrelevant conflicts Monuments to their forgotten leaders They were swallowed by their stupidity They were decimated by their fallacies Some of them saw the end coming But they never thought it would come so quick Their corpses lay as mannequins Mocking their lives lost to time Soon even they will be dust Dust that will then be oblivion They fought with their guns and their bombs Ripping and tearing through fellow people Memories of former lives were strewn across the battlefields Corpses covered the ground, never to be buried in it Shadows are left from cities destroyed Outlines of pasts that can no longer repeat Structures of buildings lean filled with the rotted remains Of people who once strived for hopes and dreams They clawed at their eyes as they melted to liquid From the heat of the bombs that were mutually dropped Their flesh was charred into coal and then ash Their hearts were filled to the brim with agonizing fire Their thoughts and their memories were consumed with the flames Records of their existence were erased from the earth All life on earth was wiped from its face Simply because their leaders wanted war The earth, a feeble phantom Lies devastated by its former inhabitants Scars of their irrelevant conflicts Monuments to their forgotten leaders They were swallowed by their stupidity They were decimated by their fallacies Some of them saw the end coming But they never thought it would come so quick Their corpses lay as mannequins Mocking their lives lost to time Soon even they will be dust Dust that will then be oblivion They fought with their guns and their bombs Ripping and tearing through fellow people Memories of former lives were strewn across the battlefields Corpses covered the ground, never to be buried in it Shadows are left from cities destroyed Outlines of pasts that can no longer repeat Structures of buildings lean filled with the rotted remains Of people who once strived for hopes and dreams They clawed at their eyes as they melted to liquid From the heat of the bombs that were mutually dropped Their flesh was charred into coal and then ash Their hearts were filled with agonizing fire Their thoughts and their memories were consumed with the flames Records of their existence were erased from the earth All life on earth was wiped from its face Simply because the greedy wanted war Humanity is gone Not even memories of them remain Even the buildings have fallen And been swallowed by the planet The earth has reclaimed all Guns and bombs once worshipped by nations Lie deep under the ground never to be used again Corpses have become part of the earth Not even a single skull remains No human blood will ever run in functioning veins again The "strong" leaders showed their strength In their constant killing and hate The people loved it, they made monuments to them But now the consequences have taken place Was it truly worth it, The end of the world, To dispel a sense of humiliation? "Restore" your national pride? It matters not now For life on earth Has become absent Forever

Our future has been bludgeoned by the blind fists of hatred Our future has had its appearance distorted with acid Our future has had its skull fractured Will our future ever recover? I don't think it will "Fascism is a very rational system. It is a instrument by the ruling plutocracy to distract the people with the accoutrements of a false revolution. There's always a false populism. And there's a lot of goosestepping, and there's a lot of manipulation of symbols and sentiments and love of the state and the like. Much of politics is the rational use of irrational symbols. So fascism, the attention that when people study Italian Fascism or Nazism, especially, they focus on it as a kind of insane movement that just happened carried on by this maniac, Adolf Hitler, and the Germans were just out of their heads and were led astray. In fact, what they tried to do is direct the real grievances of the German people toward irrelevant enemies."
