# Funkwhale Against Fascism

Funkwhale Against Fascism is a project to fight against fascism and far right ideologies in music. We want to leverage various tools : 
- Maintaining a list of far right content in wikidata
- Maintain our own list in case wikidata fails to allow our [filter tool](https://dev.funkwhale.audio/funkwhale/funkwhale/-/issues/2395) to work
- Report artist/labels on third party services like spotify, soundlcoud, youtube etc
- Find which services do not delete the content. Which music streamign service is promoting this kind of speech
 

## Wikidata 

### Artists 
We use [genre](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q188451) to class artists. We consider [leftist music](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q132531661) is opposed to [neo-nazi music](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q121411631). We class neo-nazi artist either in the generic [neo-nazi music](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q121411631) genre or in one of its subclasses. 


### Labels 
[Record Label](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q18127) are tagged with [Right wing extremism](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q204481) using the [political aligment](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q28819924) statement.

## Promoting Leftist Music
Since we are using tools that could allow to build music recommendation and playlist, since fighting against fascism is also fighting for our rights and our voices, we can also work on tools to promote leftist music.

Try this : 
```
SELECT DISTINCT ?item ?itemLabel WHERE {
  SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "[AUTO_LANGUAGE]". }

  # Select items that are music groups, persons, musical duos, or rappers
  ?item wdt:P31 ?instances.
  VALUES ?instances { wd:Q215380 wd:Q5 wd:Q9212979 wd:Q2252262 } # Music group / Person / Musical duo / Rapper

  # Retrieve subgenres from a top genre
  {
    # Define a top-level genre (e.g., extreme right-wing music)
    VALUES ?top_genre { wd:Q132531661 } # leftist music

    # Find all subgenres (direct and indirect)
    ?genre wdt:P279* ?top_genre.

    # Match items that have one of these genres
    ?item p:P136 ?statement.
    ?statement ps:P136 ?genre.
  }
}
ORDER BY ?itemLabel
```
