Many golden age pirates were actually kind of like that
Big multiethnic crews. Lots of gayness, transgressive gender identities, liberatory politics. It was extremely punk, but with very very slightly better music and substantially worse booze.

Graeber really gets unto the mess of it all in ‘pirate enlightenment: the real libertalia’
If you want something much less complicated and academic, i think the podcast ‘cool people who did cool stuff’ has a few episodes on it.
