Nope. Finally got to see the Laibach video, though, with its running commentary by Slavoj Zizek. Pretty hilarious. They can't be fascists because they act like fascists, and real fascists don't act like fascists, they try to appear reasonable. By acting like totalitarians, they undermine totalitarians. He makes a similar argument about Ayn Rand - her over-conformity is actually subversive <http://www.lacan.com/frameXII5.htm>, which is kind of hard to accept, given all those undergrad Rand reading groups and the success of her protege, Alan Greenspan.
