    Jack, thank you for this.
    I've been, and am, dealing with a large tidal wave of hopelessness and dismay. Seeing all the shit going on, it's very hard to fight back. How can I take heed of this song and organise - how do I fight the extreme depression of my head that wants me dead every night, that the fascist parasites are encouraging? Been suffering this plague since i've been 13, non-stop, constantly - but I can't just sit back and let this large evil take hold.
    I feel hopeless, like I am powerless against the storm - and the millions of us, despite those numbers, are barely budging. While simultaneously I feel alone and encircled by this internal enemy and the external winds pushing against our cause unceasingly.
    What am I to do? Small actions and a local sense of things are what i've been encouraged to do, so that the large ills of the world don't leave me catatonic and paralysed; but we don't have long.

      The most common way people give up power is by thinking they don't have any. I've felt that dread before, but I remember that giving into it is exactly what the enemy wants. Remember- "Alone, never you are" -Yoda
      You are TONS better than you think you are. Remember that too.

      This is a question that is hard to answer. Honestly, the weeds can still be cut in February, take some time to yourself and just do what makes you happy for a bit, and then return to saving the world from encroaching fascism.

      My biggest advice, understand food security. Our lords have made us reliant on their land, giving them the ability to easily starve us into submission. Organize a farm, look into the science of agriculture, hydroponics, aquaponics, help others raise themselves up, develop your own land. And start to spread the word, cause there is power in a union, but only a union. This isn't some indiviual call to fix humanity and the world, this is a call to treat your neighbor as you should, as your closest friend. Develop your skills, your mind, and your friendships, make yourself stable and reliable, teach others how to do the same. Love all people, for all are part of the proletariat, are human, are capable of love themselves. Teach yourself and others that, build a community yourself to teach and nuture.

      @@clockworkcrew8012 However building a farm isn't very accessible to everyone. Building strong communities is a good idea though. Build up mutual aid for the hungry, a secondary system for those who are unable to get food with other ways. You are correct that capitalists can starve us, so when people go hungry due to capitalism, feed them as best you can. This way people dont have to resort to crime to put food on their plate, thus not giving the capitalist an excuse to lock up more of the proletariat.

I am writing from experience and tried 3 or so until I found one that worked for me.

    in the beginning of the song there's a small bit of the SS marching song "SS marschiert in Feindesland", it's probs obvious but it's like the sound of evil or decay or supposed to represent fascist, particularly Nazism? I just picked it up when I listened because I used to research a bunch of marches and propaganda music from that era from a ton of countries.
    "SS marschiert in Feindesland" has variations all through the world, and used particularly and obviously by far-right neo nazi movements. fun fact: there's a variation of the song that's used for the Brazillian paratroopers, with completely different lyrics, but still interesting why they used the same melody.
    anyways amazing performance your talent on the piano and singing are incredible I hope that you have an absolutely wonderful day :) o7

      I know the three arrows as the symbol of the german "eiserne front" (iron front). They were militant social democrats in the weimar republic as far as i know. They wanted to protect the weimar constitution against nazis, monarchist and communists (thats why the three arrows). Ernst Thälmann called them 'terrorists of social fascism'
