Not really? Johnny was insanely strict and perfectionist and the way he ran the band was downright authoritarian, which is why his right wing political leanings shouldn't come as that much of a surprise to anyone.
I like the Ramones but if I'm being honest Johnny's disciplined approach is kinda antithetical to what I usually look for in a punk band.
IMO punk rock is at it's best when it's unpredictable and unhinged, and I can't really say that about the Ramones, at the end of the day they just played '60s pop songs really fast and loud, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that, but it by no means sums up everything punk rock is about.
