I’m sure you’re not wrong, but the song was written for concert goers, not fellow bands. Jello noticed some far right members of the audience and he was not having it.
I can’t really think of any halfway successful right wing punk acts. I guess I wouldn’t trust GG Allin not to vote for Trump.
All display right wing politics and achieved fame. The overall punk scene, yeah, is overwhelmingly leftist, which from my perspective is right and good, but we do need to be honest about the fact that Nazi punks both exist AND can fuck off
I think Johnny Rotten just lost his marbles as he got older. Live a long life of saying unfiltered controversial statements and you’ll wake up one day just being an old conservative fart. But at that point he’s hardly a representative of the punk movement.
As for Johnny Ramone… Yeah, point well taken. Still, one could argue it’s at least a different ballpark than the America first Kid Rock lunatics, but it’s meager comfort.
The Misfits and the Smut Peddlars I don’t know well enough to comment on.
Sadly, there are a bunch of Nazi punk bands.
Hence the song Nazi Punks Fuck Off by the Dead Kennedys.

“a bunch” is probably overselling. i would say it is possible to find nazi punk bands
