If you say so
I just wish leftists didn't know that the skinhead culture existed. Hopefully after the rev we will invent a time machine
Put capitalism in a bag of rice.
Skinheads appear to me just as a bunch of thugs looking for a reason to fight.
I mean usually if you are a communist you debate the ideas and sometimes if necessary maybe get involved in a fight with some nazis at some protest or w/e. But skinheads shave heads dress like thugs and all that. Their appearance is all about showing how physically strong they are. They are not really fascist or communist or anarchist i doubt that they even understand their meanings. They just label themselves with political ideas so they have a reason to fight others. They are young people that are extremely violent and dangerous and that can be easily provoked to beat someone up even for a small reason. Just hooligans that want to torture weaker people.
Thanks for the eye-opener. Never knew I'm a Skinhead because I'm "extremely violent" and want to "torture weaker people". You learn something new every day
this is a load of absolute cobblers to put it nicely
if you dont live for something youll die for nothing
something inside so strong
except he couldnt be anymore wrong

If you take all the different kinds of skinheads, all they have in common is the look. Which is all it was in the originial incarnation of the cult in the 60's. It was originally just a fashion, all about clothes, with some interest in a certain kind of music. It was pretty much the mainstream fashion for british working class youth for a few years.
It's funny how people fail to understand that and make more of it than what it was. RASH skinheads sometimes claim some sort of conscious anti-racism to the original skinheads, which is pure revisionism. While mainstream sources claim a conscious racism directly linked to the cult, which is also not true.
It was normal kids, some were violent, some were not, some attacked Asians, most didn't, some were black, some were racist, some were even communist. Whatever you could say about tyipical british working class teenagers in the 60's was 100% the same for skinheads. Because, as I said, skinhead was nothing but a kind of clothing and, to a lesser degree, musical taste.
And in a way, this notion is still valid nowadays, because there are so many kinds of skinheads that you can't really generalize anything beyond fashion. A traditional skinhead nowadays is a completely different animal than any sort of politicized skinhead, specially fascist ones in every aspect except for boots and short hair. It's a misunderstanding to consider it otherwise. And I don't just mean in terms of politics, I mean aesthetically and what the cult means to them. Anyone who has the same opinion about nazi-skins and a traditional skin in any matter is delirious and stuck to a word.

This is one of the best posts in this thread.

I was a "Nazi Skinhead" for a long while before I renounced that way of life.
I am a Redskin (RASH) and I've always worn red laces. Red is our color.
I stumbled across the RASH skinhead movement recently. I had no idea there was such a thing! Most people associate skinheads with neo-Nazis.
Actually When I'm older, I think I might shave my head bold, You know, For combat prefrence.
I have a gask mask black boots and some gloves to, And a glock to.
Skinhead (bone head) "Glenn Anderson" uneducated, dumb person from Melbourne.
