Post-Hardcore
A genre of punk rock that focuses on expanding beyond the musical boundaries of hardcore punk. Post-hardcore usually has more melodic and complex arrangements than hardcore. In other words, post-hardcore is to hardcore what post-punk is to punk.
It was pioneered in the eighties by bands like Minutemen, Naked Raygun, and the Effigies. It gained mainstream popularity along with its emo subgenre in the late '90s and early '00s, with bands like Rise Against, My Chemical Romance, and At The Drive-In.
A foundational post-hardcore record is My War by Black Flag

Conservative: Bernie Sanders is a neo-Stalinite
Anarchist: No, Bernie is a moderate democratic socialist. Neo-Stalinites are a thing but if you misuse the term it's going to be meaningless.

Fascism
Palingenetic Ultranationalism.
The belief that “the nation has lost its greatness, and it must be restored.” This is done by purging what they consider to be outside threats or corrupting influences and it usually restoration of a sort of “glory days”, a previous time in which the nation was united in “greatness”. For the Italian fascists, this was the Roman Empire. For the Nazis, this was the German Reichs. Fascism is essentially a synthesis of nationalist populism and social conservatism that is taken to the extreme.

Socialism
A left-wing economic system where the means of production is controlled by the workers.
