A punk band should be able to talk about libertarianism, communism, or tits and ass as much as they want to. Or else it's just generic punk fascism.
I'll stop trolling for a moment and say that I agree with this whole heartedly.

In other news, the phone was ringing and I picked it up and got dial tone. I was so confused.

That point would make sense if anarchism was a coherent ideology beyond being anti-state.

I was gonna comment about punk in the 70s but then realized it would be akin to me getting slashed with a scalpel a few times, and then getting tossed into a tank of piranhas's.

You guys continue on.

No, I just don't think that music should be defined by a specific brand of lyricism if it's not being defined by a specific brand of songwriting. There's plenty of folk that's political, but that doesn't mean that all folk should be political, let alone be bound by a specific political ideology.

I get that. I get why "Communication Breakdown" isn't considered proto-punk, but I don't get why liberal punk lyricism should be considered necessary to anything but the generic punk stereotype.
