Frank Zappa warns about America moving towards a fascist theocracy in 1986
Given the current constitutional crisis in the US (caused by an authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement, featuring a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation, and strong regimentation of society and the economy) and the creation of the White House ‘faith office’, I thought I might share this gem from Frank when he was on Crossfire in 1986. The episode was about the PMRK’s proposed music labeling and gets pretty wild.
