There's *** guys singing about sexism and heteronormism(the ****s, big boys)
Theres black guys singing about racism(bad brains)
Theres girl bands or bands with girls singing about sexism(x-ray spex, crass)

Maybe some of the white dudes are flakey in their politics but it's preferable to overtly right wing bs anyday.

ok it seems like we have some discussable issues here now.

just the fact that i was corrected about punk going against a leftist government and the fact that others are obviously squabbling over the semantics of the issue proves to me that it is just stupid to divide politics up into two extremes. left and right, liberal and conservative...people on both sides of the issue with no gray area are both equally ignorant in my opinion.

but that is neither here nor there...to keep it in line with the music i feel the point most of us are trying to make is that the very name PUNK implies rebelling against the status quo. i'm not saying right wing punk can't be good but what calling it that implies to me is that they support the establishment as (at least in the US) right wing conservatives are big on doing.

everyone surely wants music they can relate to. if right wingers want some punk music, by all means make some punk music. i just don't really want to listen to it, personally. it wouldn't be PUNK to me.

It's actually kind of an embarrassing question for me to answer. The answer is no, I don't like "right-wing" punk bands. I assume you mean the neo-Nazi, National Socialist, white power type of right wing and I just can't (won't) listen to that - even if I like the band musically. Same thing for a lot of Death Metal - I like the music but I just don't like listening to songs about violent rape and such.

On the other hand, I don't insist that the only music I listen to is made by people who agree with me politically or otherwise - that would be ridiculous. It's embarrassing because I hate the idea of limiting oneself to one's own outlook, opinion, etc. But I guess certain subject matter is just too much for me to tolerate. No, fuck Right Wing Punk.

I'm trying to think what right wing punk would sound like if it wasn't too racist or anything like that

'Yeah ...... let's privatise the utilities & fuck public spending .... you bastards!!!!!!!!!'

Nope, it's not working for me i'm afraid.

Well, it has always done so so far. Or can you come up with an example where an unrestricted market didn't lead to a the creation of large, powerful businesses?

We've never had an unrestricted market. Thanks to lobbying, big corporations actually thrive with a moderately large government...

I imagine these "right wing" punks have a lot more in common with libertarians than they do with republicans. If their cause is to limit governmental control--the primary focus of libertarianism--then I don't think it would sound much different from traditional punk music at all...

then call it libertarian punk...calling it right wing punk implies something else to me.

Why do people always assume you're talking about America all the time?

it is best not to worry about it...it's just gonna happen.
