Truth To Power (feat. Rachel Wallis & Peter Cooper)

I'm gonna speak the truth to power Just because you've got the power I'm still gonna speak the truth My truth The truth The true power Just because they've got the power doesn't mean I'm not gonna tell them the truth Your truth Our truth The power is truth Just cos the suit has the power doesn't mean they own the truth The people own the truth We own the truth The people own the power We're gonna speak the truth to power Our truth is gonna shake the power The cult of tradition One has only to look at the syllabus Of every fascist movement to find the major traditionalist thinkers The Nazi gnosis was nourished by traditionalist, syncretistic, occult elements The rejection of modernism The Enlightenment, the Age of Reason Is seen as the beginning of modern depravity In this sense Ur-Fascism can be defined as irrationalism The cult of action for action's sake Action being beautiful in itself, it must be taken before Or without, any previous reflection Thinking is a form of emasculation Disagreement is treason The critical spirit makes distinctions, and to distinguish is a sign of modernism In modern culture the scientific community praises disagreement As a way to improve knowledge Fear of difference The first appeal of a fascist or prematurely fascist movement is an appeal against the intruders Thus Ur-Fascism is racist by definition Appeal to social frustration One of the most typical features of the historical fascism Was the appeal to a frustrated middle class A class suffering from an economic crisis or feelings of political humiliation And frightened by the pressure of lower social groups The obsession with a plot Thus at the root of the Ur-Fascist psychology there is the obsession with a plot Possibly an international one The followers must feel besieged The enemy is both strong and weak By a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus The enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak Pacifism is trafficking with the enemy For Ur-Fascism there is no struggle for life but, rather, life is lived for struggle Contempt for the weak Elitism is a typical aspect of any reactionary ideology Everybody is educated to become a hero In Ur-Fascist ideology, heroism is the norm This cult of heroism is strictly linked with the cult of death Machismo and weaponry Machismo implies both disdain for women And intolerance and condemnation of nonstandard sexual habits From chastity to homosexuality Selective populism There is in our future a TV or Internet populism In which the emotional response of a selected group of citizens can be presented And accepted as the Voice of the People Ur-Fascism speaks Newspeak All the Nazi or Fascist schoolbooks made use of an impoverished vocabulary And an elementary syntax In order to limit the instruments for complex and critical reasoning
