Redskin (subculture)

In the context of the skinhead subculture, a redskin is an anarchist or Marxist skinhead. The term combines the word red, (a slang term for anarchist, socialist or communist) with the word skin, which is short for skinhead. Redskins take a militant anti-fascist and pro-working class stance.

The most well-known organization associated with redskins is Red and Anarchist Skinheads (RASH). Other groups that have had redskin members include Anti-Fascist Action, Red Action and Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice, although SHARP does not have an official ideology.
