There seems to be some confusion as to what fascism is. It has nothing to do with opposing immigaration or racism although it can incorporate both things, as can most poitical philosophies.

Correct - you can't stereo the bass toom low as you wouldn't have much playing time on your record and the needle won't track it. At what point the bass goes to mono will vary from record to record.
