Red & Anarchist Skinheads (Cabezas Rapadas Red and Anarchist) or RASH is a group of skinheads movement of socialist ideas. It is usually associated with militancy in depressed areas of extreme leftist groups anti-neo, which has come to cause clashes between the factions.
The skinhead culture was born in England in the mid-60s, to find two previous cultures of young workers born: that of the original mods and modettes England and the rudegirls Rudeboys and imported from Jamaica by young immigrants. The aesthetics and the music of the first skins are a clear reflection and claim their multicultural influences, and their working-class pride.
Over the years, aesthetics and culture skin name has been copied by several youth groups, including far-right racist and ultra-nationalists. However, these, by denying essential elements and original skinhead lifestyle contradicts the original spirit. No true skinhead is a racist.
Traditionally favorite music is ska, rocksteady and skinhead reggae from Jamaica and the U.S. soul Then there are the two-tone ska and oi or streetpunk England. And finally the New York style hardcore. While these are the most popular musical genres, many skins hear or bands belong to the most diverse styles.
This international non-profit was founded in New York in 1993 because of disagreements with the group SHARP, because of its political neutrality. Seek to defend a skinhead culture, which for them would be communist and working class, against neo-Nazi skinheads.
They are Communists, and although there are many who are branded as petty, most are of proletarian estraccion, although there are rare exceptions. Fight for a class consciousness, from the rise of skinhead culture, some have fought in many different organizations tendencies of the Left Socialists, Trotskyists, anarchists, or autonomist Marxist-Leninists. However, the term redskin came into use in the first half of the eighties by some skinheads who chose to distance themselves from the rest of the skinhead culture (at that time to the core invaded by impostors Nazis) and created this new term for them.
Redskin culture, as distinct from the skinhead, had most of his followers in England, France and the Basque Country. They redefined their musical and aesthetic tastes in many ways, trying to get closer culturally to the interests of young workers in Europe neighborhoods. There was even a musical group of Trotskyist tendency to interpret a mixture of soul, punk and rockabilly.
It was not until the nineties when leftist militancy rediscovered traditional skinhead culture, and thereafter the term redskin has begun to be used as a synonym for left-wing skinhead whatever trend. Although there are still a few who claim the redskin as something separate from the skinhead, identifying with the "spirit of 84" after a year of further rise of the redskins in France.
