An Episode about the playbook of fascism told in part through song's from his new Album, "Fascist Addict".  Fascism has never been complicated – identify scapegoats, control the narrative, silence opposition. What's terrifying isn't its complexity but its effectiveness, even when we can see it happening right before our eyes.

I've been watching this slow-motion takeover unfold for years, starting with Reagan's dismantling of the Fairness in Media Doctrine that once required balance in broadcasting. When he vetoed congressional attempts to preserve these protections, he unleashed a media ecosystem where truth became optional and tribal identity determined what facts people would accept. Today, some networks operate with just 12% factual content while still calling themselves "news."

This manufactured reality created perfect conditions for the classic fascist strategy of scapegoating. First, it was immigrants "stealing jobs." Now, it's expanded to include political opponents labeled as terrorists. When leaders begin criminalizing those who oppose fascism (literally what "Antifa" means), they're following a dangerous historical pattern that has preceded humanity's darkest chapters.

What makes this moment particularly dangerous is how our divisions are framed as left versus right when the more accurate framing is top versus bottom. While we fight culture wars, the economic elite consolidate power, wealth inequality grows, and democratic institutions erode. The wealthy benefit while the vast majority experience stagnating wages and increasing economic insecurity.

We need to recognize these manipulative tactics and refuse to participate in the manufactured outrage that drives us apart. The path forward requires recommitting to shared democratic values, demanding media accountability, and focusing on economic conditions that affect all Americans regardless of political affiliation.

Don't miss my album "Fascist Addict" on streaming platforms and my coming one-man show A Peasant's Voice: The Divided States of The Poor Working Class – both warnings about where we're headed if we don't wake up and recognize this playbook for what it is. Subscribe for more raw, unfiltered analysis as we navigate these perilous times together.

What happens when we discard 150,000 years of human cooperative evolution for a system that rewards hoarding resources? In this raw, unfiltered episode of A Peasants' Voice, Artist-Activist Justin John Scheck pulls no punches examining the deeply entrenched problems in American society that few mainstream voices dare to confront.

Scheck delivers a passionate critique of what he calls "Christian heresy" - the  misinterpretation of religious texts to justify discrimination against LGBTQ+ individuals while ignoring other biblical prohibitions. His devastating analysis of the tragic consequences facing transgender youth denied gender-affirming care highlights the life-or-death stakes of these political debates that are too often treated as abstract policy discussions.

The episode's centerpiece dismantles the myth of trickle-down economics through a compelling tribal metaphor: "If you're a tribe of 10, you don't give the whole deer to one guy and then he walks away with it." Scheck reveals how the recent tax cuts, like those before them, directed 81% of benefits to just 0.1% of Americans - a concentration of wealth that contradicts our evolutionary history as cooperative beings.

From foreign policy missteps to immigration controversies, the podcast connects seemingly disparate issues to illustrate how the dehumanization of "others" serves to maintain power structures. Yet amid this critical examination, Scheck offers hope through examples like Mamdani's primary victory in New York, where proposals for free public transportation gained traction despite opposition labeling it "socialist."

For those feeling disillusioned with mainstream political discourse, this episode provides both validation and perspective. Scheck reframes democratic socialism not as a radical ideology but as a return to natural human tendencies toward cooperation and mutual support, pointing to Nordic countries' success as real-world examples.

The "News" in June 2025. Coverage of "The Christian Heretic" and their war on trans children and their "righteous" movement.  There is a difference between a "Christian", a "good Christian", and a "Christian Heretic", a confused and mislead Christian.  "The Christian Heretic" is the leader, The false Prophet and fake Sheperd who leads his flock to "Hell."

June’s News coverage such as The Tax bill, a bit about the genocide in Palestine, Mamdani's Primary win and the response to it, and the complicity of "The Corporate Moderate Democratic Politicians" as well as the rise of these dragons that slay our villages and pollute our water and hunting grounds to maximize profits, otherwise known as Corporations.

The hour is late.  The Country is lost, but hope is not.  

Episode 1 - A Fascist Dictatorship is a logical take and explanation of where we are and how we got here told through a Historical lens.  It covers the Zelenskyy, Trump, Vance debacle of a Press Conference, as well as The State of The Nation.

The "Leadership" in America, both Moderate Democrat and Republican are both servants of The Oligarchy.  "We The People" are not, but we keep being fooled into voting for these monsters.  

The Historical Accuracy that no Fascist Nation, throughout human History, has ever self corrected is indeed a provable fact.  The Divided States of The Poor Working Class is now, and will remain a Fascist Dictatorship for the foreseeable future.  The Monsters are at the wheel, and they've won. 

The time to be silent has long passed and is over.  What's done is done.  

Yes, I am a madman.  I am what Antonin Artaud called an "authentic madman."

"For a madman is also a man whom society did not want to hear and whom it wanted to prevent from uttering certain intolerable truths."  

Let those who have ears hear.

A Peasant's Voice is a new Podcast Series Hosted, Written and Produced by Author/Musician/Producer/Filmmaker and Activist Justin John Scheck.

It is all a love letter to The Working Class.

After 20 years on the safety net, 20 years of living in shame as a hermit, the Artist decided to reach out to America in the form of 4 Concept Albums and a forthcoming One Man Show as well as The Podcast, all of which were created over the past two years, in hopes of helping mend the violent and unsustainable divisions in today's America. It is an ode to The Working Class, in honor of The Working Class, as told by a man who has lived a Blue-Collar existence. 

It is a story that could only happen in America.

Episode 1 - A Fascist Dictatorship is a logical take and explanation of where we are and how we got here.  The Historical Accuracy that no Fascist Nation, throughout human History, has ever self corrected is indeed a provable fact.  The Divided States of The Poor Working Class is now, and will remain a Fascist Dictatorship for the foreseeable future.  The Monsters are at the wheel, and they've won.

The Collection, entitled The Blue-Collar Diaries, includes the Film and the 4 Concept Albums which accompany it.

It is all a prayer, that this, We The People… The Divided States of The Poor Working Class, do not again mistake the pawns for The Kings.
