Not specifically leftist, but wonderful nonetheless. You need to sign up (free) for higher res images, unfortunately.

Sometimes the site can be a little slow (US Peak hours) so bear with it.

Here are some more Anarchist resources:

http://www.anarchistblackcross.org/images/library/index.htm- Anarchist Black Cross

http://recollectionbooks.com/bleed/images/BB/- not very organized, some images are good, some are crap.

The second link seems to be rather temperamental.

A great resource of revolutionary symbols primarly to be used as avatars. Some are animated, some are just posters, etc.
Some links don&#39;t work or they are outdated, put there are plenty enough.

If you go on photobucket.com and type in Leftist terms, some really cool photos usually come up. It&#39;s where I get all my avatars and personal photos for RevLeft :D

And aren't anarchists cool - I have yet to ever find one that copy-rights his/her images. Revolution comes before profit and ego, imagine that!!
