that was confusing and scary at the same time...

maybe they're trying to associate communism with the same ideas as naziism (sp?)

you know brainwash uninformed viewers into thinking they're the same thing

It may be that it's some awful counter-revolutionary plot to associate Nazism with Communism, but I thought it was kind of funny. :blink:

Edit:

Oh, and also, a cursory google avails you this: http://www.gla.ac.uk/~dc4w/laibach/hpart6.html

Which suggests that Laibach are not Nazis at all.

I did a search for "laibach" and "nazis" and I got that very same arcticle, soo I guess they're not nazis or would you consider that BS? It said their art was done by anti-nazi people which turns me over a bit...

Incidentally, here is the picture: http://www.towson.edu/heartfield/art/blood.html - the top one. Heartfield was also a communist.

Why? No, really, I'm asking. I downloaded two of their songs and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with them - save one anti Bolshevik comment.

Laibach being Nazis? No, they've explained it many times. They are a very philosophical band, and they enjoy the feeling of alienation they get when they wear Nazi uniforms on stage.

That is excerpts from interviews that explain their views. They aren't really communists, but they are collectivists. The singer, Ivan Milan, is incredibly articulate and has many intelligent answers to the questions posed in the interviews.

Laibach is one of my favorite bands.
