“…Bands such as Death in June and Sol Invictus adopted fascist themes and imagery, and played with the notion of supremacy in a seemingly ironic way (Shekhovstov, 2009).

National anarchism has a very small following and has been criticised heavily from both fascist and anti-fascist perspectives; however, it has endured in various guises since the mid-1990s.5 Despite the possibilities encapsulated in prefiguration and self-management, they are not exclusive to progressive or anti-…”
