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.
“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.

Idk, have we got their official position on the Hungarian Revolt of 1956? Have they denounced Che Guevera and the Cuban Revolution in all its forms? Do they agree that China isn’t a real country, it’s territory should be liberated from the oppressive CCP, and the government should be broken up into a constellation of micro-states?
The term “tankie” was originally used by dissident Marxist–Leninists to describe members of the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) who followed the party line of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU). Specifically, it was used to distinguish party members who spoke out in defence of the Soviet use of tanks to suppress the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 and the 1968 Prague Spring, or who more broadly adhered to pro-Soviet positions
Well, skinheads aren’t welcome here either I’m hoping. But I had the same reaction as you.

Skinheads originally weren’t Nazis.
