"Clampdown" by the Clash 1979

-I believe this song is about the nazi regime trying to change averyone to follow their beliefs and opinions. You can get this thought through the syntax like "Is this man a jew?", "We will teach you our twisted speech" and "We are the Clampdown!" The twisted speech is their german language and beliefs, the questioning of the man's religousness is their discrimination, and the clampdown are the nazi leaders.
-This deals with persuasion because they try to convince everyone to join the nazi party and it's rhetoric due to allusions to the nazi's and parallel structure.
