I am anti-fascist. Everything I have done creatively and politically has been anti-fascist. There is no need for a separate category when it comes to fighting far-right insanity and dictatorships.
Instead of labeling other people constantly, you have to ask yourself: what kind of approach do you have? How much emphasis do you put on counter-extremism as a way to fight extremism?
Anti-fascist commitment becomes apparent in different ways. It doesn't have to be tattooed on your forehead. Not every ground-breaking album has to be called Fascism Sucks.
Creativity is so much more interesting. It can't just be rhetoric, counter-propaganda or naively black-and-white dabbling. You can't just do the exact opposite of something you don't like.
Anti-fascist art should be a universal movement and a sentiment. The more creative you are, the more you realise how stupid fascism is. All we can do is unite against it.
If you're obsessed with categorising other people, you don't feel anything anymore.
