Friendly Fa$cism is a full-length album by industrial/hip hop artists Consolidated, released in 1991.[3][4]

"Brutal Equation" and "Unity of Oppression" were alternative rock hits on MTV.[5] The album peaked at #6 on the CMJ Radio Top 150.[6]

The name comes from Friendly Fascism: The New Face of Power in America, the title of a 1980 book by political scientist Bertram Gross[7] which lays out the form of "creeping fascism" that Gross feared might come to pass in the United States.

Critical reception

Trouser Press wrote that "the insufferably self-righteous tone makes the disc hard to endure."[3] Alternative Rock called the album "a hard-hitting soundtrack of hip-hop, funk, soul, and hard rock.[5]
