      The song is a blunt indictment of the rise of far-right punk subcultures such as Nazi punk or the white power skinhead movement, which had begun rioting at punk shows in the late 1970s. The appropriation of fascist iconography had been common in punk for some time, often ironically, but the irony was not always clear to the extent that it began attracting the organized far-right to punk concerts. Jello Biafra’s lyrics condemn the infighting among punks for weakening the prospect of rebellion and hold of the far-right agitators that “in a real Fourth Reich, [they’d] be the first to go.”

      Dead Kennedys not being punk is news to me… wouldn’t this literally be an example of punks being anti-nazi?
