I don't disagree with your points.
Returning to the thread, I was curious about the hardcore punk bands that advocate communism, and whether that was too broad of a brush to cover that genre. The person in the video lists Bad Brains, Minor Threat Black Flag, and The Dead Kennedys as prototypical. Do any of these "advocate communism" to "critique the capitalist system"?
- n4r9 4y agoI don't think much of hardcore punk advocated communism explicitly. Certainly not Soviet-style authoritarian communism. Nor do I think anyone made such a claim in this thread! The Dead Kennedys song "Holiday in Cambodia" is critical of both Pol Pot and US capitalist culture, for example.
- vibrio 4y agoI completely agree with your point. in reviewing the thread I think I have mis-interpreted the parent comment as a stating that "HC music should criticize capitalist culture without endorsing communism". I was looking for evidence of general endorsement of communism in the genre as I think we agree it is rare.
