"Just because soldiers are on the same side right now doesn't mean they always will be. Having personal feelings about your comrades is one the worst sins you can commit. Politics determine who you face on the battlefield. And politics are a living thing. They change along with the times. Yesterday's good might be tomorrow's evil."

- the boss

[Brother No. 1]

Thats True. the america soldiers will face that. their Goverment will be their allies today and when the Revolution Happens they will be their enemies.

[Dr Mindbender]

Video game quotations ftw!! :D

I like it but I think Rise As One's idea is good. No symbol either?

[Revolutionary Youth]

Ha ha, then I'd better give a shot at it!:D

[Dr Mindbender]

the game is awkward. I find the interface confusing. :(

I'd rather play MGS4!

Making flags is entertaining:

Not bad considering I'm limited to paint... xD

[Red Apex]

hmmm, needs more red

Yes def. less black, maybe make snake a dark blood red color! :D
Regardless MGS4 was amazing!

[Bolshevik-Leninist]

Honestly I think making new "socialist flags" is just a ridiculous and unnecessary break with the traditions of the international working class, although I'm not sure how serious this particular attempt was (how can anyone take Solid Snake seriously...). How about this for a "socialist flag":

Really I like the Red but thats all there is.

Yeah, maybe add another shade of red? That would really liven it up a bit.

<3 Lenin

[Black Dagger]

Why is lenins face on it?

Communism is an internationalist philosphy, surely if we are to keep the concept of flags it should not be a tool of nationalism? Apart from the acronym 'USA' you've also kept the current USA flag... just with a different colour scheme >_<

Its just a taunt at American nationalism.

Lenin is there just because I felt like it.

And pure internationalism is very difficult to acheive, and it would almost certainly have to be entirely global in order to work. I think we will always have flags.

[Brother No. 1]

Whats wrong with Lenin?

[Black Dagger]

Its just a taunt at American nationalism.


Ah.



And pure internationalism is very difficult to acheive, and it would almost certainly have to be entirely global in order to work. I think we will always have flags.

Perhaps, but flags do not have to be symbols of nations - they are often symbols for social values or creeds. If we are to have flags then they should be of this variety, flags that celebrate our triumph over class society.


Whats wrong with Lenin?

Flags with peoples faces on them generally look stupid. Besides, lenin is dead - he's not making revolutions in the 21stC we are - it makes no sense to have his face all over our shit.

[Brother No. 1]

So if a socilaist flag had che it would be stupid.

[Black Dagger]

No, it would just be cliche.

Also, i wasn't talking about a 'socialist flag' on which it would make sense to have symbols of socialism - but lenins face on an american revolutionary flag - a flag representing a communist revolution in the US.

[Brother No. 1]

Yeah really not that good of a idea.

[Glorious Union]

He's not on the flag, his silhouette is infront of it. For, inspirational, purposes.

[Dr Mindbender]

thats not a silhouette, a silhouette would be a complete shadow. These images, that is to say ones like the infamous che image with only 2 colours are called something else but i forget the name. A 'monochrome' or some bloody thing theyre called.

im sure if theres any art students here they can correct me.

[Drug Puppet]

It's a good flag for a bit of fun, I would rate it much higher if it wasn't a video game character (I wasn't aware he was one). Would you please make a Mario or Link one? Or any character from the Nintendo franchise.:p

[Revy]

Get rid of the man, and the flag's perfect :closedeyes:

Uhm, solid snake is from the Nintendo franchise.
And really it's not good flag. The fact that i can make such a flag proves it's not. It's really fucking easy to make (you can even make it with paint).

[Dr Mindbender]

Uhm, solid snake is from the Nintendo

Uh no, he's from the konami franchise. :rolleyes:

If any single console manufacturer could claim a franchise over him anyway it would be Sony. Nintendo has only ever had one MGS game, which i believe was MG twin snakes on Gamecube. Theres not been one before or since.

[Some Red Guy]

Video game characters on flags, sure why not.
I prefer the hammer / sicle and the five pointed star, or some variation of that theme. We should have a marged "Flag Thread" in this section, there are many separate flag threads.

Ohw :p.
Well i thought he was since he's a Smash bros character.

Is that Solid Snake?! :confused:

you're forgetting that Solid Snake is FTW 4ever
