A scary must-see word rave about power

In this rapid and brutally uncompromising flow of thought and reflection around the very essence of fascism, The Third Reich takes on the form of an overwhelming word-rant in the form of a rave happening. With a phenomenal sound landscape created by Scott Gibbons, the old fascist obsession with neo-scientific naming and classification of everything takes on a sinister form in which detail is lost, the rights to personal agency ground down, and all becomes white noise. The space for humanity and reflection disappears, the possibility to take personal responsibility for anything. Violence reigns, there is no escape.
