    I am closer to a Red than a Nazi.

    Further clarification: Red being a communist.


    Thanks for the reminder of this song:

    Oi! band formed after a hard drinking afternoon in 1997. At that time there were only three members. It was Jerome Reuter ROME, on drums and vocals, Tom Luciani on guitar and Muck on bass. After playing gigs here and there in some pubs of Luxembourg, a first little recording was released, a demo-tape called Cider Lane 77, of which a limited amount of copies were sold. After Muck left the band in 1999, the line-up had to be changed.

    The lyrics to The Skinflicks’s song What I Am are a defiant statement of identity in the face of societal pressures to conform. The song emphasizes the importance of self-expression and the rejection of political ideologies that seek to control or manipulate individuals. The skinhead identity, according to the song, is about more than just fashion choices - it represents a rejection of both far-right and far-left political beliefs in favor of a distinct cultural identity.[1]

    Lyrics[3]

    Cuz I’m not a nazi, I’m not a red

    I’ve had enough of your politics

    I’m not a nazi, I’m not a red

    For all I am is a … Skinhead!

    That’s what I am, it’s all I wanna be

    That’s what I am, it’s all I wanna be

    That’s what I am, it’s all I wanna be

        TIL.

        I disagree with your labels again; you seem to just be using such labels so you can continue to ignore and dismiss anyone that does not think like you want them to.
