No Gods / No Managers by Choking Victim is all bangers. The songs Money, Fuck America, and Praise the Sinners all sample Parenti speeches lol should definitely give it a listen all their stuff is great. Another ska-punk album I love is the self-titled Operation Ivy.
Warlord by Yung Lean and Eversince by Bladee are my favorite albums though.
fascist band comrade

you should read up about Stza.
Its a shame, it is a great album but also you should know.
I don't think it's correct to call them a fascist band.
They disbanded in 98 and the allegations against Stza are from the 2010s, the fact that a single member became a POS over a decade later doesn't determine what the band is a whole.
Idk, I fell that saying that is like saying that "I Want To Hold Your Hand" is leftist only because John Lennon became one years latter.
Its pretty ironic that John Lennon had a line in the song”Revolution” that goes “But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao, you ain’t gonna make it with anyone anyhow” and later on John Lennon became a supporter of Mao. He said that Mao was doing a lot of spectacular work in China and making it more equal and that he regretted the line in the song. Kinda sucks tho bc there are a lot of old people that uphold that line like its a bible verse
the band as a whole more or less never existed, they where active for a single day then broke up lol, based on that though I think its fair to disavow the 'band' because they themselves have distanced themselfs from Stza
I do agree with your wider points and if you still enjoy them thats fine, I really like the albums they put out too but it can be hard to seperate the art from the artist for me personally.
