    i'm looking for good *modern* anti-authoritarian, pro labor music.

    (in other words, while the Wobblies are commendable, their hymns are not what I'm seeking right now.)

    any recs?

    @DeliaChristina

    Anything by Tom Morello's solo act "The Night Watchman" is pretty good for this.

      @DeliaChristina How recent are you looking for? (This is a rhetorical question, I only have the one suggestion) Chumbawamba is from the 90s but a lot of their music is very anti-authoritarian, like "The Day the Nazi Died" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSqUBwlHld4

        Broadly, post-war 20C onwards?

          @DeliaChristina some favorites from the last decade or two: Billy Bragg, Midnight Oil, Trotsky Icepick, Emmett Doyle, and the Dropkick Murphys.

                @DeliaChristina Ska-P from Spain have been at it for almost 30 years. In many concerts they invite onto the stage the striking labor union of some cause near the venue.

                    @DeliaChristina Most of Woody Guthrie are classics of this genre, for an excellent cover Dolly Parton sang his "Deportee" amazingly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDfqXkYWzZM

                      This particular Nocturnal Emissions album:

                      Which is unlike most of their other albums.

                                  @silverwizard @DeliaChristina "Hold Fast, Hold the Line" by this same person won the Labor Notes song writing contest last year and is one of my favorites, though it's imitating traditional labor songs so may not be what you're looking for:

                                        i'm looking for good *modern* anti-authoritarian, pro labor music.

                                        (in other words, while the Wobblies are commendable, their hymns are not what I'm seeking right now.)

                                        any recs?

                                        @DeliaChristina Countercurrent randomly did a few labor songs on their most recent album that are pretty good ("I Am the Fox" and "Six Workers"):

                                          @DeliaChristina "Wretches and Kings" by Linkin Park might fit in.
