It is not interesting, indeed it is boring in the extreme, how some labororiously pick out the odd word or two without regard for the syntactical context in which they are employed, then mindlessly sloganise their random prejudices.

It is blindingly clear to me (and always has been) what the agenda of those behind this website is, and it is for this reason that I believe their ad should have been erased. Others are free (at the moment) to take a different view, believing apparently that anyone should be at liberty to say what they want, however abhorrent. No-one has called THEM fascists but merely emphasised the loony, far-right tosser provenance of what they appear to be upholding, and invited them to look further. It is cheering that some have.

The aspect of what the far right has been, and still is, attempting to do with our traditional music is a separate one which even the OP has conceded ought to have been addressed separately.

Juxtaposing 'the dangers of the left' and 'the lessons of the Soviet Union' in one vague sentence is bizarre and misleading. If anyone (with experience of the role of folk arts both in former socialist countries and in the so-called 'West') wants to debate (offlist) the various implications of what occurred, please feel free.
