Location

Description
Image of a pair of brass knuckles with the letters of the acronym RASH inside of the finger holes of the weapon. Also featured are the the images of several famous communist, antifascist, and anti-globalization figures, including Karl Marx, the second from the right, and Subcomandante Marcos on the far left. Subcomandante Marcos was a leader in the Mexican Zapatista Army of National Liberation. The anarchy symbol and communist hammer and sickle also flank the title of the sticker. RASH was originally formed in the early 90s in New York City, with chapters eventually forming in other cities around the world, including Stuttgart, Germany. As their name suggests, the organization is anti-fascist in nature with part of their mission being dedicated to clarifying the true nature of the skinhead subculture, as news media has adopted the term as a synonym to describe white supremacists. RASH and associated groups like Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice (SHARP), define themselves heavily on fashion, music, and violent opposition to white supremacist organizations. Their style of dress typically incorporates Dr. Martens boots, jeans, suspenders, bomber and Harrington jackets, short hair, and clothing produced by Ben Sherman, Fred Perry, and Lionsdale. Musically, they are typically associated with punk, hardcore, oi, ska, reggae, and two-tone music genres.
