Can this protest music protest against the music industry and music as a spectacular commodity?
What are the different ideas emerging from music today, and how can we assess them in the class struggle?"
Uncarved.org - who are somehow getting mentioned twice in one day here - have a copy of "White Punks on Bordiga" archived on their site. If you haven't already read this, it's worth checking out - an anti-state communist perspective on punk, marketing and what could constitute a truly radical perspective on music and culture.
Although the article is a dozen years old by now, and despite the article's constant references to the UK "scene," I still can't think of a better starting point for discussions on punk (especially anarcho-punk.)
I'm currently trying to locate copies of Communist Headache, the 'zine from which this article originated. Perhaps I'll be able to make more content from these 'zines available here. Until then, if you search around Uncarved, you'll find a few more articles by this author (who also did the interesting Autoxicity journal.)
