[symtoms_of_humanity]

what does the red and yellow represent to communists, and why is black associated(sp) with anarchist solidarity

[violencia.Proletariat]

red stands for socialism i think

[symtoms_of_humanity]

[Organic Revolution]

black is the abssence of all national flags

[symtoms_of_humanity]

The red on the Soviet, Chinese, and other socialist state flags comes from the original Paris commune flag. The red is indeed meant to symbolize the blood of the workers.

The yellow was obsensibly representing the "life of the sun", but it was mainly used because it contrasted well with the red.

The Anarchist black is used to symbolize a lack of national or state affiliation.

The people's flag is deepest red,
It shrouded oft our martyred dead,
And ere their limbs grew stiff and cold,
Their hearts blood dyed its every fold.
