Do Capitalists have a color?

[symtoms_of_humanity]

I was wondering because anarchists use black, communists are red, so I wondered if capitalists have a set color like that

[RedAnarchist]

Blue, isnt it?

[Andy Bowden]

Blue is for Capitlaists, Purple for monarchists I believe.

[RedAnarchist]

Anarchist - Black
Communist - Red
Socialist - Red
Green - Green
Liberal - Yellow
Conservative - Blue
Monarchist - Purple
Christian - White
Islamic - Green
Hindu - Saffron/Orange
European - Blue
African - Red, Yellow, Green

[guerillablack]

African is red,black and green.

[Djehuti]

Here in Sweden liberals use light blue while conservatives use dark blue.
Anarcho-capitalists use yellow/black. Homosexual anarchists use pink/black, anarcha-feminists use purple/black and green anarchists use green/black.

I'm guessing exactly what it sounds like. A Female Anarchist who is a feminist?

That would be rastafarians.

Although, they commonly use yellow black and green as Jamaica has a strong Rasta current.

[Technique3055]

Hey, communists aren't red, Republicans are!

[/kidding]

[Black Dagger]

That would be rastafarians.

No, rastafarians take those colours from Africa/Africans, not the other way around.

African's don't commonly use yellow black green, it is red, green and gold. And rastas are a minority in jamaica, and not a completely popular one.

[OleMarxco]

Color's, schmolor's, who -REALLY- care's? ;)
In my eye's Capitalist's black and Communist's white,
and inbetween..... are the Stalinist's, grey and misty,
an unhealthy mix of both - intention of're last, and endin' up
with're first :P

When did I say it was a majority? I just said many Rastafarians have a strong connection to Jamaica culture. That's what I meant from:
"Jamaica has a strong Rasta current."

[Andy Bowden]

BTW don't forget dem pinko liberals! :lol:

If shes an anarchist, why would she need to be a feminist too, cos doesnt anarchism already include equal men and women rights. Most confusing

[guerillablack]

Homosexuals- the rainbow

did they do that on purpose or unconsciously picked a rainbow.

[RedAnarchist]

I assume they chose it to represent the 'rainbow' of skin colours that people come in, to symbolise all homosexuals.

The bisexual flag is purple, pink and blue.

[workersunity]

in terms of representation capitalists are green for money

[RedAnarchist]

Money is only green in America isnt it?

Our Flag's History
The following information about our flag's history was obtained from the Universal Negro Improvement Association's website.

"The RED, BLACK and GREEN Flag was unveiled to the world by the Honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey and the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, of the World at it's first international convention on August 13, 1920. The UNIA-ACL knew that Africans at home and abroad needed there own flag as other flags around the world could not represent the collective of African people.

The use of Red, Black and Green as colors symbolizing African nationhood was first "adopted by the UNIA-ACL as part of the 1920 Declaration of Rights as the official colors of the African race. The question of a flag for the race was not as trivial as might have appeared on the surface, for in the United States especially, the lack of an African symbol of nationhood seems to have been cause for crude derision on the part of whites and a source of sensitivity on the part of Afro-Americans. White derision over this deficiency was summed up in a popular American song, "Every Race Has a Flag But the 'Coon.'" A 1912 report apearing in the Africa Times and Orient Review (for which Marcus Garvey worked) documented the far-reaching consequences of this song. In 1921 he declared,

"Show me the race or the nation without a flag, and I will show you a race of people without any pride. Aye! In song and mimicry they have said, "Every race has a flag but the coon." How true! Aye! But that was said of us four years ago. They can't say it now...." -Marcus Garvey

The race catechism Garveyites used explained the significance of the red, black, and green as for the "color of the blood which men must shed for their redemption and liberty", black for "the color of the noble and distinguished race to which we belong," and green for "the luxuriant vegetation of our Motherland."3

A flag must represent the standard by which it's people live. Thus, the Universal African Flag, the 52nd Article of the Declaration of Rights of the Negro Peoples of the World was ratified in convention.

There has been a great deal of talk and controversy over the origin, creation and use of the Red, Black and Green. The UNIA hopes that this controversy can be clarified once and for all.

There was no Red, Black and Green Flag prior to the coming of the Honorable Marcus Garvey and the founding of the UNIA. Today there are many African Nations that have adopted the colors Red, Black and Green after the great Marcus Garvey and his program of African Redemption. Any one claiming the creation of the Red, Black and Green is historically incorrect. The UNIA organization will make every attempt to clear up any misunderstandings about the matter concerning the Red, Black and Green. Further confusion can be misleading to the masses of Blacks throughout the country and the world.

The following paragraph is the official historical creation and usage of the Red, Black and Green:
Notice to the General Public
The UNIA in 1920 in international convention adopted the Red, Black and Green as its official colors and emblem of the Black people of the world. This flag has been flown upside down contrary to the intention of Marcus Garvey and the UNIA who gave it to the world. It is unlawful, disrespecful and traitorous for any individual or group to add any other colors to the Red, Black and Green for any other purpose. Individuals or groups doing so are not true nationalist, and should not be recognized as such.

What I'd like to know is why has no-one chosen the colour pink. Of course, most people are too brainwashed to even consider it, but I would like to ask why none of the free-thinking left have thought about it. Where's the shame in being called a 'pinko commie' after all? :huh:

[OleMarxco]

Because it only mean's -SUPPORTIVE- of Communist's, not exactly -COMMUNIST- y'r'self ;)

Plus, pink is an ugly, annoying, sick, lollypop-like, quasi-femi color, and I can't -STAND- it. Die :ph34r:

[Seeker]

"pinko" means you are liberal and ignorant.

A diluted red.

[Rissen]

It was really just a metaphor. I was challenging the accepted negativity of the colour, that's all...

[guerillablack]

Not negative, it's just that colors represent something.

[Hachi-Go]

Since when did Anarchists lay claim to black? That ones already been taken.

[OleMarxco]

As if an Anarchist would care about properity! Yeah, I know it's "the" color o're Ninja's, but heck, Ninja's are often Anarchist's too, so, so fuckin' what? Les' jus' kick'eir 'arse! ;)

[Karl Marx's Camel]

I was wondering because anarchists use black, communists are red, so I wondered if capitalists have a set color like that

I really dislike when people use the term "capitalist" for people who are supporters of capitalism. They are conservatives, liberals, fascists etc.
Capitalists = Capitalist class.

At least that is how I see it.

[Black Dagger]

I think the term anarch-feminist is more to denote oneself as being an anarchist women, rather than as an anarchist and a feminist- the latter already being included as a part of the title 'anarchist'.

It's about self-identification, empowerment, and so forth.

I've read that the feminist colour is purple, and the queer colour is pink.

Fair point. But I find it interesting that some female anarhists I know deliberately refuse to use and recognise the term "anarcha-feminism" in that they see it as both a semi-tautogy and thus redundant.

Like i said, self-identification. Every woman is free to choose to identify however she wishes :)

The colour of feminism (well anarch-feminism at least) is definately purple.

Red, white and blue is for American
