From Art Hazelwood's website: While I had hoped it would be irrelevant, by the time this project was printed in 2024 and completed in March of 2025 it had already become clear that the US is on a fascist track, an ally of dictatorships and a nation in love with hate. Included in the book is a mix of mockery and seriousness. Quotes from Congressional testimony of the January 6 coup attempt, political cartoon-like imagery created from chalkboard drawings, six pages of Fascist Mix 'n Match split images, a board game called "It's No Game" and a Jigsaw puzzle, showing the interlocking pattern international fascists and their corporate oligarch buddies. Another remarkable book by artist and activist Art Hazelwood, whose history of creating artworks that inspect, poke fun of, and question American politics is a long and storied one. This book includes fifteen fully silkscreen-illustrated pages and a six-page, multi-choice flipbook ("Fascist Mix 'n Match"), as well as a fold-out board game with paper pieces and a jigaw puzzle poster. You can see the "Fascist Mix 'n Match" flipbook in action on the artist's website at arthazelwood.com in the Books and Portfolios section. https://www.arthazelwood.com/artist/books-folios/fascist-party-games/fascist-party-games.html
