Reading some old issues and Frank Castle straight up kills dirty cops and cia goons all over the place. So it’s kind of rich that seal team six co-opted his symbol for their unit…when Castle would probably blow their heads off for killing civilians.

Granted I wouldn’t say Punisher is a leftist, pretty far from it since he still has a positive view of the american empire (he looks up to captain america for example), but like his whole thing is being a vigilante and he’s the end result of a broken system. So it says a lot when the police idolize him along with the military when he’s really nothing more than a killer.
Captain America is distilled contradiction. Reading him in something like his own runs vs X-Men is hilariously different people with the only underlying through line being American exceptionalism given form.
I wouldn’t say that as a character he’s a leftist, I’m saying that the comics are at least further left than right
I just googled “leftist punisher” and found this stormfront post. Pretty informative.
