Not who you’re replying to, but I thought that line was a little off because those issues are mostly related to salaried workers, who are in pretty good shape right now all things considered. It’s the wage earners who are really getting royally screwed. For them, the aggressions ain’t micro and most of them don’t have the luxury of working from home.

In Guthrie's opposition to fascism, he conceptualized the ideology "as a form of economic exploitation similar to slavery," straightforwardly denouncing the fascists – particularly their leaders ( dictators) – as a group of gangsters who set out to "rob the world." [3] This recalled a protest strategy he had used "during the Great Depression, when social, political, and economic inequality had been engendered by a small rich elite." [3] During that era, Guthrie had "romanticized the deeds of outlaws such as Jesse James, Pretty Boy Floyd, Calamity Jane or the Dalton Gang both as legitimate acts of social responsibility and as 'the ultimate expression of protest,' thus transforming the outlaw into an archetypal partisan in a fight against those who were held responsible for the worsening social and economic conditions." [3] The title of the album comes from " This machine kills fascists", a slogan that Guthrie used to write on his guitars.

Versions

Next up on the album is “Never Git Drunk No More”, which Casey duets with American country singer-songwriter Nikki Lane. The song is about a guy who cannot shake his demons and promises to stop drinking for his love; she responds in repeated disbelief and threats of leaving him. It is a song as old as time, especially for those barely scraping by. Lane’s beautiful and haunting voice pairs perfectly with Casey’s in this tragic love song, but who does the singer love more, his girl or the drink? This is a special ACOUSTIC ALBUM we wrote around previously unpublished lyrics by one of our idols, WOODY GUTHRIE !! That’s right – there’s not a guitar amplifier on this album!! PLUS we’re doing our FIRST EVER ACOUSTIC THEATER TOUR to bring these new songs – plus all yourDKMfaves – straight to you in your hometown. Musician's Friend.

The band's James Lynch added, “Nora gave us the privilege of going through the archives and selecting some lyrics to use. The common thread that I see through everything was this love for people and this understanding of the universal truth that there is no one person fundamentally better than another person.”

The band also explored Guthrie’s hometown of Okemah, Oklahoma. Visiting the town allowed Casey and the band to connect with the lyrics and feel like Guthrie was helping them. Did you never learn about the roots and messages behind so much of American folk music? Have you never really delved into the brilliance that is Woody Guthrie? Do you not know what “This Land Is Your Land” is about and where it comes from? Clearly not.

Moreover though, This Machine Still Kills Fascists it’s just a fun record. It’s a good driving record, a good listening record, it gets the blood pumping, the foot pounding, and the fist waving. It has the perfect attitude for blowing off steam, and a populist message in a period that just like Woody’s, the gulf between the haves and the have nots is completely out of kilter, despite the ease of modernity. Some of the words and modes may be a little deprecated, but the passion cuts through and delivers a punch.Casey says he knows the band will lose fans because of their stance on fascism. The group’s core fan base is mainly working-class white people, he adds. New York City street performer Colin Huggins inscribed the message on his Steinway grand piano. [11]

The recording sessions for This Machine Still Kills Fascists yielded more than one album’s worth of material, and now the Boston punk mainstays have released a second batch of Guthrie-penned tunes, Okemah Rising. This record shows that sometimes there’s no such thing as too much of a good thing: Okemah Rising is a helluva good listen and just as effective as its predecessor. Hey everybody – after months of keeping things under wraps, we are PROUD TO ANNOUNCE OUR NEW ALBUM…coming SEPTEMBER 30…. THIS MACHINE STILL KILLS FASCISTS !!! Pittsburgh-based Punk band Anti-Flag's 2001 album Underground Network includes a song entitled "This Machine Kills Fascists" [14] In an interview, Casey said "...that movement didn't end with Trump. He set a model that others will now follow. It's authoritarianism and fascism 101; the press is the enemy of the people, turn people against each other." [4] Promotion [ edit ] This Machine Still Kills Fascists’ is not just a beautiful collaboration between kindred spirits, it is also a solid album that shows the Murphys exploring their acoustic side, which is something they have only done sporadically up until now. And they must have liked it, because they recorded not one, but two albums, with Vol. 2 scheduled for release in 2023.During the making of the album, frontman Ken Casey and the band met with Guthrie’s daughter, Nora, and her son, Cole. Originally, Casey worried Guthrie’s family would reject every idea the band had.
