Obviously someone forgot to inform these estonians that the Nazi-Skinheads do NOT condone or tolerate homosexuals. In fact the most vicious beatings and murders are not of non-white races but of homosexuals and drug dealing degenerates. I think some leftists punk has donated this picture to discredit Skinheads and give false and misleading information. May I request the picture be removed or replaced with a more realistic one of real skinheads. I suggest one which shows REAL Skins giving a Boot Party to a faggot. Perhaps then you wikipedians can define Boot Party for the enquiring minds on the internet. |

Nazi-Skinheads are a right wing subculture that developed in the United Kingdom in the first half of the eighties. Typically racist, conservative, and anti-semitic, they emerged in a time when the United Kingdom was experiencing the second wave of Punk. The re-emergence of the skinhead subculture, that had originally died out in 1972, came as a sort of backlash against the commercialization of Punk.
Punk theoretically was against the commercial world, but right in the beginning was exploited and promoted through mainstream media. The left-wing created the image of the Punks as Leftist (while in the beginning had nothing to do with party politics) while the revival of the skinhead style was taken advantage of by the right wing.
This media sensationalism started to label the whole skinhead style as Nazi (while in the beginning few were), with the help of the singer Ian Stuart of the originally punk band Skrewdriver. Nazi-Skinheads was the first White Power LP, printed by White Noise (the created music label of the National Front, a party on the right in England at the time) and it came out in 1982.
At present
This scene continued to grow through the nineties and it is still expanding rapidly, partly due to much of the revenue being put into promoting the music, style, and culture to youth. It has changed strategies and targets several times but is still a growing business that produces large revenues, often tax-free.
Estimates of their numbers world wide run as high as 150 000, with Russia alone having about 50 000.
Germany
In Germany these groups are often called "Kameradschaften", and are frequently associated with far right political parties like the NPD. Nazi skinheads are often called "Boneheads" by anti-racist skinheads and punks.
