Hey, I saw this graphic a while back. It's a red star and a black AK-47 (if I recall correctly the barel was facing left, but don't quote me on that) on an olive green background. Does anyone know the name of this graphic, or have the picture?

Thanks ever so.

Eh?

Oh, by the way, does the third object in the CL logo represent the doctors?

its anarchism (i hope your refering to the A)

which doctor

7th January 2006, 17:18

The three objects represented in the CL logo are a hammer, a sickle, and a pair of tongs. They all represent workers.

The sickle represents the peasants

And the tongs was what I was referring to.

Does that represent medical workers... or what?

Not sure about the tongs. The Hammer stands for the Industrial Workers, and the Sickles stands for the Agricultural Workers.

I suspect its just another symbol of industry, in this case metal and foundry workers.

OK, thank you.

Now, about the red star and AK-47...

which doctor

The tongs represent oppressed backyard chefs around the world who flip hamburgers and steaks while being nagged by their bourgeois wifes who get to work in the friendly confines of their homes, sheltered from the rain and cold of the outside.

The book could possibly stand for Education, although it looks too much like a Bible.

But Education, Defense, Prosperity wouldn't be too bad :D

But the red star and black AK-47 remains elusive.

It represents workers in the service industry. In fast food restraunts most food is handled with tongs.

I would've thought more iron workers...

I know I was the one that started that off-shoot, but... can we discuss the red star and black AK-47? :angry:

Wiesty

8th January 2006, 17:29

Well seeing as how the ak47 is one of the #1 choices of guerrilla forces, it could just be a symbol of revolution, i think its just a collage of the left, maybe.

Goatse

8th January 2006, 18:21

I suppose.

While it would be quite simple to make one of these, does anyone have the "official" version?

Maybe this could be what you're referring to.

It's the symbol of the Red Army Faction - a silly guerilla movement from Germany in the 70's, 80's.

12th January 2006, 18:49

No, it's not, but thanks for that anyway.

I believe what you were talking about was in the "Flags" thread?

I don't think so.. :blink:

After a considerable amount of time. Initially they were one of the most widely supported guerilla movements in Europe.

plus they had links to the DDR which well...SUCKS

Out of tactical neccesity more than anything.

Well that's not an AK, is it? I agree it's an impressive logo though.

I've attached an image of a star and an AK mural painted by Irish National Liberation Army POWs. It's probably not the one you're looking for but maybe it's similar.

The whole concept of "guerilla warfare" in 1970's Germany is absurd.

This sort of image has been in use by the IRSM for a while now. I'm sure I saw a version with a green background, but I can't remember where.

What's silly about kidnapping ex-SS and terrorising them? :huh: Furthermore, what's 'silly' about international solidarity the RAF practiced?

I never thought I'd see a person who defends Galloway with such a brass neck that they'd call anyone silly. :lol:

That image could be confusing.
Shouldnt the rifle be facing right so its aiming TOWARDS the conservatives and fascists?

No its an MP5 i think, which is a rather common weapon used by european special forces in the past i beleive.

Because theres no particular need for it, they didn't attempt in any way to organise a social movement for the West German working class ao for that matter anything else of use. They were bored middle-class students who acted out pointless sub-situationist acts of violence in an arena apart from any sort of basic working class support. They were about on the level of the Angry Brigade when it comes to crap Western insurrectionist groups...

I never thought I'd see a person who defends Galloway with such a brass neck that they'd call anyone silly.

He got you there YouKnowTheyMurderedX... <_<

Good point. *Fixes avatar.*

Yeah, I couldn't find the real image so I just made it myself.
