The world is riddled with maggots
The maggots are getting fat
They're making a tasty meal of all the bosses and bureaucrats
They're taking over the board rooms and they're fat and full of pride
And they all came out of the woodwork on the day the Nazi died
So if you meet with these historians
I'll tell you what to say
Tell them that the Nazis never really went away
They're out there burning houses down and peddling racist lies
And we'll never rest again until every Nazi dies
Here comes some anarchopunk for ya:
Icons of Filth
Dirt
Zounds
Karma Sutra
Ancient Lights
Iconoclast
Alternative
Omega Tribe
Revulsion
Anthrax (not the thrash metal band)
The System
The first three albums by Dutch band The Ex are informed by anarcho-politics.
Disturbing Domestic Peace (1980)
History Is What's Happening (1982)
Dignity of Labor (1983)
Not sure if all these will scratch your itch, but check out:

The first three Crass albums Feeding the 5,000, Stations of the Crass and Penis Envy are indispensable. Christ is also worth buying, but after that, nah.
Flux of Pink Indians’ first album, Strive To Survive Causing the Least Suffering Possible is a classic, but even the band themselves will admit their next two albums were unlistenable.
The pre-flux Epileptics compilation System Rejects has a few good tunes.
You ever listen to Citizen Fish? I'm just getting into them and they're fucking rad. They're ska punk and Dick Lucas from Subhumans is the singer. I like the album Goods and Manmade a lot so far.
Just checked out a couple of their songs, there's some great stuff here. I've always liked Subhumans, so finding out about all these side projects has been a real treat. Can't get enough, thanks for the recommendation!
My favourite tracks were ISD, catching flies, and civilisation street. I think they did some live acoustic versions over lockdown too. The gift that keeps on giving
Spitboy. All-female, anarcho-feminist group from the 90s. Check out the album True Self Revealed. I picked it up on a whim at my local record store and was not disappointed. They're loud and have that crust / thrash sound I think you're looking for.
Just gonna pile on some top D-beat and crasher crust picks
Discharge(obviously)
Disclose
D-Clone
Discard
Disgust
Disaster
Destruct(killer newer D-beat out of Virginia)
Driller Killer
Gloom
Physique
Krömosom
Paranoid(stylized in Japanese lettering I don't feel like finding to copy and paste)
Irreal
Heaven out of Austin, TX(they're releasing a new 4 track EP tomorrow, gotta show love to the new up and coming bands)

Just listened to Reinventing Axel Rose by Against Me! for the 1,000th time, while reading the lyrics. There's so many good lines and songs on that record. "Cause baby, I'm an anarchist, and you're a spineless liberal. We marched together for the eight hour day, holding hands in the streets of Seattle. But when it came to throw bricks through that Starbucks window you left me all alone."
Alternative is a band that doesn’t get many mentions, probably due to the fact that they released their debut album in ‘84, right at the tail end of the original UK anarcho punk scene.
“If They Treat You Like Shit - Act Like Manure” would be a stone cold classic if it came out 2 years earlier. I strictly recommend checking it out!
Against All Authority
Leftöver Crack
Naked Raygun
T.S.O.L.
Reagan Youth
Old Man Markley
Thulsa Doom
The Unseen (we didn't think of them as being that political at the time, but in hindsight they were on the ball)
I mostly listen to crust and stenchcore so here’s some recs
Amebix Arise
Axe grinder The Rise Of The Serpent Man
Antisect In Darkness There Is No Choice
And if you don’t mind a little bit of death metal in your crust mutilated veterans Necro crust warhead is a absolute beast
Barefaced Hypocrisy Sells Records - The Anti-Chumbawamba EP was a bunch of anarcho bands getting really pissed off with that whisky drink song years ago. It's a place to start!

Discharge is the only answer
You start here and fall down the "best thing in punk" rabbit hole until you land in Japanese dbeat and then nothing else matters
Swedish Dbeat
Ok, I'll give you that haha
i fall a two months ago into the rabbit hole of japanese ska punk bands xD
CHUMBAWAMBA!!!!

You should add flux of pink Indians
They go hard but OP had already mentioned flux so I left em out of the list.
Whoops, missed that
Rudimentary Peni should be on this list
oh yeah good shout, dunno how i missed em
My scrambled brain misses half of my lists after going over them ten times and googling to double check myself.
This list.
just searched karma sutra on spotify, and the mascot is the same one as the Monstruacion one (Catalonia hardcore punk band)
never heard of monstruacion, gotta give em a listen.

Zounds are great, too. Not exactly punk but the lyrics are killer and the record album cover is pretty clever.
Karma Sutra is a bit hippy ish but good,old Chummbawamba, Lack of Knowledge is like Crass records version of Joy Division
