      After being disappointed with Belgrade, where the faschism was officially introduced at December 20, 1992, I wrote this song. I lived in Belgrade for more than twenty years, and I always believed that the Faschism will never prevail in this city.
      I was wrong.
      I believe, very soon, the Faschism in Belgrade will be the past.

      The meaning of faschism is always confounded by the faschists themselves, since when they have controlled a society, they see to it that none inside their society calls them faschists. It is in the very nature of faschism to call the other ones faschist, but never themselves.
