Fortissimo - means "strong" in Italian, IIRC. In musical usage, it gives emphasis (which, so to speak, is loud).

And dying to me dont sound like all that much fun...

Political tags-such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth-are never basic criteria.
The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.
