Problem with pooty's/bashy's retarded little argument is that Cap wouldn't go around accusing everyone who simply loved America and individual rights of being a Nazi. That image he posted of Cap striking an actual Nazi is not the same thing as was Antifa does. That character Cap struck was actually wearing Nazi clothing and a swastika. It's not the same thing as beating up someone who was wearing normal clothes, just minding their own business and not harming anyone else.
Cap would not go around calling everyone who is not a retarded leftist a "Nazi" as leftist snowflakes do. So... epic fail, pooty/bashy.

From the Watergate to Reagan Years: When Captain America Stopped Being a Soldier
IMG_3632Presentation speakersThéo Touret, University of Picardy-Jules Verne, Amiens, FranceDownload presentation Théo Touret From the Watergate to the Regan Years- - When -Captain America Stopped Being a Soldier.pdf
Abstract:
This paper will focus on Captain America comics published in the 1970s and the1980s. Those troubled decades were indeed a real challenge for the righteous and patriot super-soldier. Comic book writers Steven Englehart and Mark Gruenwald tackle this issue very interestingly, following the lead of Stan Lee, in what is now remembered as the Silver Age of Comic Books. The man who was the embodiment of the “common man” and the “American Dream” since the 1940s drops twice his stars and stripes suit in a decade. Suffering from PTSD and war trauma, disappointed with a treacherous president in a Marvel-style version of the Watergate scandal, Cap becomes the “Nomad”. Significantly, during the Reagan Years, Cap’s trust and loyalty towards the U.S. government is not reinforced and he keeps his distance, choosing to fight for “the American dream”, shown as different from the official U.S. policy. These two runs of Captain America (Englehart’s and Gruenwald’s) allow us to understand the role of comic books in helping American citizens (and especially the young adults who read them at the time) to negotiate their disappointment towards their leaders while at the same time reinforcing American values. Our main point is that the main continuity of the Marvel universe interestingly questions contemporary U.S. History, while at the same time reinforcing a sense of ever-lasting American values, and the immortality of the American Dream. And Captain America is the perfect metaphor of it.

Yeah, and Cap punches Nazi's

Oh yeah, he definitely had some issues with the conservatives. There was one issue where they invited him on TV to encourage youths to support the status quo and stop protesting and he said ok, but then when he got on TV he was like "Damn That" and proceeded to give a whole big speech about young people needed to go right on rocking the boat.

No, I do not believe Captain America as he was originally intended to be when he was first created would have a problem with pro-Constitution pro-individual rights conservatives.
