      Punks know that they can’t do it alone by themselves. Even if they did thats just exchanging one strongman for another. Only through cooperation with our community and resistance to the power structure can good lasting change happen. Punk has a different definition for each person who takes the label. Its more of an outlook than a structure.

      yes!! Reading about the Cockroach Party, I would say that they align with the values of punk subcultures. Activism, saying “fuck you” to politicians who don’t stand for the people, rejecting mainstream culture by dressing in ways that aren’t considered “normal” (such as cockroach costumes), speaking loud and proud about what everyday people need and want, standing up for women’s rights… Sounds punk to me
