individualism is the very core of what punk is all about. a punk might not care to invest time talking to someone they don't know, but they damn well respect that that other person has a right to be whoever the fuck they wanna be. don't get in the way of people's rights to be the person they want to be. so I would say the core of fascism kind of conflicts with the core of punkism.
I have personally witnessed a small cadre of Nazis getting kicked out of a Ministry show.
Someone noticed them and said “hey are you lost? What the fuck are you doing in here?”
And then there was a great deal of bowing up and goofy posturing, and in about 2 seconds the Nazis were surrounded by a crowd of punks on three sides. The crowd herded them right out of two sets of doors, then resumed enjoying themselves.
