simbola antifaszista

Our music origins directly from the events that have taken place on the 11th of November 2009. We, Simbola Antifaszista, are the child of these four „ones”. But the people who participated in this project were not born last year. All of us have definite but of course different views and harsh experiences of Polish reality – a reality that is not free from agressive prejudices..

The reason why one should and has to stand up against contemporary fascism and fascist, xenophobic and chauvinist movements has been elaborated many times (referring to the coming 11.11 and also to former years).

There is no doubt that the problem with movements build upon prejudices against people other than the prejudiced ones is a complex and multilayerd problem. These prejudices are found on cultural, subcultural, economic, political, religious and many other levels. No matter what arguments are used, they always incompetently try to hide the need to grade people on the basis of traits that these people or groups do not have any influence on. These traits or factors are mostly congenital, like for example descent, ethnic affiliation, cultural background, sexual preference.

Amongst others it is because of this, because of the lack of influence on the factors that these people are so deeply hated for (this hatered sometimes taking physical forms) that we have to make an absolutely unconditional stand against it. No one can be blamed here for making any choice. And even if some traits of the groups or people persecuted do not coincide with our own why should anyone be blamed?

Our activity is merely musical, a couple of tunes accompanied by some slogans and declarations. But stating one of these really famous spells „and the word became flesh” our declarations and promises may have a causative power if only they fall on a suitable and cultivated soil.

Our resistance against fascism is not only limited to musical activities. That is one of the reasons (there are many of them) why we will be on the streets on the 11th of November shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand with all the people who want to pledge their opposition against chauvinist actions, who feel disgust, anger and frustration when they see such behaviour. Whatever may be the reason for such a behaviour we shall not forget that we all, the hated, the known and unknown, the rich and poor, the black and white, the Europeans and Asians, the women and men are made of the same material.

Besides, let's face the truth: it would be very rude not to show up on our own birthday party.
