I Was a Teenage Antifascist

WARNING: DANGEROUS THINKING AHEAD

Philosopher Hannah Arendt famously said, “the ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced communist, but the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction no longer holds.”

Evil grows when we no longer care what is true.

I Was A Teenage Anti-Fascist: A Yiddishkeit Poetry Rock Album isn’t just an anthem designed to call out what may be perceived as dangerous; but a warning in the most disastrously ironic way that Arendt herself said, “There are no dangerous thoughts. Thinking itself is dangerous.”

Acclaimed poet Maxwell I. Gold resurrects the ghosts of the Holocaust, statelessness, and capitalism gone awry—and explores uncertain futures with history as his guide.

Don’t just read these poems. Live them. Fight the rising tide of fascism.
