You hit on a good point - when one's identity is defined by rebellion against the greater system, the downfall of the very adversarial system is the downfall of oneself.

The punk must know they will never win, because even if they succeed in tearing down one group, another will fill its place, even if that other the punk himself.

Does that mean the punk must be pro-capitalist? In a way. The punk only knows how to survive in the capitalist/megacorp system's periphery or in total anarchy. The punk thrives on the periphery, survives in anarchy, and withers within the system.



The punk is a parasite on the system, and the system is an especially resilient animal. Without the system of megacorps, the punk cannot thrive, it will starve
