Punk

Same boat here. The thing is, though, that I think being a Marxist communist is (in a way) just as punk as being an anarchist. I think it comes down to different interpretations of what the punk ethos even is. Anarchists tend to cling strongly to anti-authority as a universal, but I’m with them in being anti bourgeois authority. However, I do believe in the authority of the proletariat. That is, of freeing workers from our chains and allowing ourselves to organize society for the benefit of the masses. I think collective organization of the disenfranchised and oppressed is punk, and I think it’s a fundamental misunderstanding of Marxism/communism that scares away a lot of my fellow punks.
