Propagandhi est un groupe punk-hardcore mélodique canadien formé en 1986.
Au cours de sa carrière, le groupe a pris une position fréquemment contre les violations des droits de l’homme, le sexisme, le racisme, l’homophobie etc. A titre d’anecdote révélatrice de leur positionnement politique, voila un extrait de leur auto-présentation sur le site
" In 2006, the band were nominated for — and actually somehow won — the inaugural ECHO Songwriting Prize for the song “A Speculative Fiction”, from the album Potemkin City Limits. The band responded, “awards are like hemorroids : eventually every asshole gets one” and promptly donated the award money to the Canada-Haiti Action Network (a pro-democracy, anti-imperialist project) and the Welcome Place (a refugee support agency in central Winnipeg).

Paroles
Swastikas and Klan-robes
Sexist, racist, homophobes
Aryan-Nations and Hammerskins
you can wear my nuts
on your nazi chins
I love a man in uniform
just what exactly are
the great historical
accomplishments of « your » race
that make you proud to be white
Capitalism ? Slavery ? Genocide ? Sitcoms ?
This is your fucking white-history, my « friend »
So why don’t we start making a history
and start fighting the real fucking enemy
worth being proud of
Swastikas and Klan-robes
Sexist, racist, homophobes
This one’s for the « Master Race »
my brown-power ass
in your white-power face
Kill them all
and let a Norse God sort ‘em out
Manifestation contre l’extrême droite, c’était dimanche. C’était beau et fort
