 Laibach concerts have sometimes aesthetically appeared as political rallies.When interviewed, they often answer in wry manifestos, showing a paradoxical lust for, and condemnation of, authority.Finnish author Tuomas Tähti tells in his 2019 book "Nationalistin henkinen horisontti" that Laibach member Ivan "Jani" Novak told him in March 2015 that Laibach is a communist group and most of Laibach's work is connected to communism.
