“Fascism, it’s always about using nationalism, and the nation, as a bludgeon to generate support for death policies, on behalf of death governments. For violence and repression and exploitation, internationalism is the antidote, always.” —Robin D. G. Kelley
Trilogie de la Mort - by Éliane Radigue album cover. Photograph (tinted light blue) of Radigue in her studio, with reels of cassette tapes and an analogue synth.
