Following on Comrade Transpontine's suggestion of Junior Murvin's "Police and Thieves", Bob Marley's "Get Up Stand Up" and the Tom Robinson Band as the soundtrack to the Battle of Lewisham, and having used Heaven 17 to soundtrack my Battle of Lewisham post, I've been thinking of some other anti-fascist:
- "Enough Is Enough" by Credit to the Nation/Chumbawamba (mp3 via Alfie's Blog)
- Anything by Blaggers ITA (link: Sound of the Suburbs)
- the Italian partisan song “Bella Ciao” (various versions at AutoRadioABordo)
- Primal Scream – "Swastika Eyes" (mp3 via the fantastic White Noise Revisited) - does this count?
Any more suggestions?

The political songs were best during the civil rights era, because of the gospel tinge.
See: Phil Ochs
Not very inspiring set of songs I'm afraid, apart from reggae tracks (OK I quite like Bella Ciao). My theory is that anti-fascism is too obvious a sentiment to create good songs. Since just about everyone proclaims themselves as an anti-fascist, songs tends towards the lyrically banal. At least until I finally realize my plan for a hardcore punk band shouting Adorno quotes (I want to call it Frankfurt Old Skool).
How about everything ever recorded by LKJ? Especially "Fite Dem Back"...
