I voted

feel free to justify/explain your votes

i voted 4 because it could be some sort of laser...or i could be being stupid and its a microscope on tv...or it could just be a tv. Who knows, the possibilities are endless, there are thousands of ways to kill Fascists. Personally i prefer the big spiky one :p

aw, nobody likes guthrie yet.

and how come my thread title is missing an l and how would i go about fixing that?

While #1 is my personal favourite, I chose "fascists don't need killing" because what they need is education. ;)

I chose to take the question literally, and picked the gun.

don't kill fascsists! they are my friends!

what if the fascists already have political power?

I do. Here's a counter-question for you - which machine surrounds hate and forces it to surrender?

Then you can kill them, while I sing songs about it.

Interestingly enough it wasn't just one guitar that Guthrie had this written on: whatever he was playing seemed to also get the same inscription:

Excellent. Now download "This Machine Kills" by Kids Near Water.

If you can't find it, I'm willing to e-mail it (if your mailbox can handle 4-5MB files).

One of Pete Seeger's long neck 5 string banjo heads - directly inspired by the time he spent with Woody Guthrie.

Who adopted the stage name 'Woody' at one point in his career and later had guitars that carried the inscriptions "Ignore Alien Orders" and "I may take a holiday"?

Joe Strummer. RIP.

I vote #6: love <3
hate cannot be banned or killed, but we can minimize it...

my strap-on vibrator kills fascists

moreover: in homage to catalonia, Orwell mentions, during trench warfare in the spanish civil war, having his gun trained on a fascist, when the fascist's pants fell down. George couldn't bring himself to shoot said fascist, as he had no pants.

this presents an interesting conundrum:
does the gun cease to be the machine that kills fascists when the fascists lose their pants?

are well-fastened belts, perhaps, the machine that kills fascists? (as unfastened belts are the machine preventing them from being killed...)

would woody guthrie use his guitar to kill a pantsless fascist?

The Community of Hibbity-Dibbity-Doo saw it this way:
"a fascist without pants is still a fascist"

Joe Strummer. RIP.

Damn: it takes someone who has been paying attention to get the 'holiday' guitar.

I just have an awesome memory. Useful for Med. students.

Thoreau defiantly kills them. Well, we wasn't very violent or aggresive, but not paying taxes to a goverment he didn't agree with was pretty hardcore. Mabey he could kill them through logical arguments or something.

Ah, but what would he have to say about the internet and forums like this one?

We are in great haste to construct a magnetic telegraph from Maine to Texas; but Maine and Texas, it may be, have nothing important to communicate.

I don't know. This technology is invaluable to us. Especially now that we (Anarchists -maybe not you) are so few scattered.

Thoreau does indeed kill facists.

On a personal level tho, forget the AK-47; go with a mecha

Oh, leave the fascists alone...

What is option 2?

Nah, not the drug of the nation: as posted earlier Pete Seeger's banjo. I'm still trying to think about other memorable things I've seen scribed on instruments that have passed into contemporary folklore - 'Out To Lunch' is the only one that really springs to mind right now - any takers?

Look Fascism is not racism. It is a more effecient way of adminstration, then democracy or ANARCHY! Historically Fascism benifeted it's nations economically, and even socially. You just don't get it, do you?

Exactly. And racism plays no part. My point exactly.

i always liked tom morello's "arm the homeless" and "soul power" guitars

Yeah, 'soul power' is good, but 'arm the homeless' is just a bit too close to 'Frankie says arm the unemployed' for me to take it seriously.

It may be more efficient than other systems, but that efficiency is bought at the cost of the Enlightenment view of our humanity : the state takes precedence over disposable individuals, and the organic theory of the state that fascism is based upon leaves the door open to all kinds of unpleasentness.

I say let the commies and fascists kill themselves

and then there is the crimethinc sticker on my guitar - "the future is unwritten"

just like always

Anyhow, the answer remains (1) as it is the emblem of a social relation which cannot be co-opted by fascism, (2) is only a possibility as yet unrealised, and (3) and (4) are the tools of fascism (even if 3 has a leftist tradition its purpose is still one of destroying individuals, not states).

well put. anyone care to argue?

Yes, I would care to argue. Mussolini wasn't stopped by a guy and his guitar. He was stopped by America and her allies. You may keep your idealistic notions if you wish, but force will always prove to be necessary in certain cases. (3) it is for me.

Hey,

I am a proud White man. And if you would kill me with a AK47 (communist prick weapon!) then my brother would kill YOU!

Later,

The third. Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends...

Voted gay Robocop.

Option #3, no question about it. The sound of chambering a round in an AK is the second best sound in the world. :rolleyes:

These are weapons of class destruction.
