Revolutionaries Against Nazi Douchebags

RAND is a new political movement inspired by the SHARP movement. The SHARP movement was started when a group of neo-nazi's were infiltrating the punk/oi scene with fascist politics. The SHARP's decided they weren't going to tolerate these white power bands having control of their subculture. They decided to create social change by any means necessary.

Since the SHARP's finally stomped the neo-nazi's out of the punk/oi movement they turned to goth/industrial/powernoise. We do not need to tolerate this. We are sick of seeing these douchebags at the shows we attend. We are sick of their hateful attacks against people who aren't a part of "their brotherhood" and their misuse of ancient symbols. Their thug mentality is not what industrial is about. This is not the mafia. This is music.

RAND stands for Revolutionaries Against Nazi Douchebags and our mission is to wipe the nazi BS out of here once and for all.

We have no affiliation with ANTIFA and feel that their attacks against neofolk bands are misguided. While the neofolk bands keep to themselves it is the dark electro/powernoise bands with fascist politics that are causing problems within our subculture and giving all of us a bad name. They need to go spread their hateful agenda somewhere else.

RAND was founded by Rachel Haywire (Experiment Haywire | machineKUNT Records) in November of 2009 after she was violently attacked at a show and received threats against her life as a musician of Jewish ancestry.

Mission:

-To promote a more tolerant subculture
-To put an end to racist/fascist/homophobic attacks against people in our scene
-To stop white power artists from dominating the genre
-To make this about the music once again

Wouldn't it be MAND then (musicians)? There is nothing revolutionary about being against racism, it's pretty standard.

The goth/industrial club I used to go to had neo-Nazis show up. Once.

Some of the more intimidating rivetheads (as well as our own SHARPS; the town was too small for a goth/punk division and we all hung out together) asked the neo-Nazis to step outside into the parking lot. They then explained exactly why the neo-Nazis were unwelcome, and what they were risking if they ever returned. We never saw those racist pigs again.

Any relation to Ayn Rand?...;)

Or maybe Janice?
The Research institute of the same name?

So, will this involve violence? It usually does with these smart acronyms of groups opposed to Nazism.
