    I know skinheads were originally a workers movement. But here in the states skinheads were white supremacists by the time they got imported. I’m from Dallas, Texas where skinheads were always Nazis and a big problem.

    Up with workers, fuck off to Nazis.

      Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice was founded in 1987 by Marcus, a skinhead from New York City. It emerged as a response by suburban adolescents to the bigotry of the growing White Power Movement in 1982. Traditional skinheads (Trads) formed as a way to show that the skinhead subculture was not based on racism and political extremism.”

      But there are lots of folks here who aren’t American? The vast majority of skinheads I’ve met irl here in Australia have been anti-fascist as heck. It’s just not as clear-cut as tankies.
