#AntiFascist

30 posts25 participants6 posts today

#ToninoGuerra was a concentration camp survivor. At the age of 22, after joining #antifascist resistance, he was captured and sent to #Troisdorf. His short poem "La farfalla" encapsulates this experience:

"Happy, really happy
I have been many times in my life
but most of all when
they freed me in Germany
and I started looking at a butterfly
without the desire to eat it."

Here's a track that came out 5 years ago, but—given the rise of fascism around the world—feels very, very relevant today.

Outburst - ARTY x Stellz

The poem from the track is:

When they say you are inferior
Do not believe a word they say
Resist

When they say they need billions of dollars
To build bombs instead of build schools, open your eyes
Resist

When they say they want to preserve our way of life
So they must take life, this is a lie
Resist

When they pit a people against a people
And a nation against a nation in the name of world domination
Resist

Speak truth to power
Do not comply, do not believe
Do not accept, do not be afraid
Do not surrender, do not judge
Do not bear false witness against thy neighbor
Resist

This is Susan Sontag describing the fascist aesthetics in art. It's a pretty solid guide on what to look out for. But can art adopt these elements (in a nonsatirical way) and still not come across as fascist? Is it problematic to acknowledge FANTASIA and Busby Berkeley as genuine works of art (these are) even as they use fascist aesthetics?

Please give me a follow to support my transition away from meta and X platforms, this is a sample of some of the design I make for sale, I also share a lot of my hobby work, this is a great place where you can see it all for free and share it as you see fit , without accidently paying musk further.
Thank you all.
