this may seem stupid

[Jamal]

what is the letter "A" located on the right of the revleft logo and that every one uses?

[bloody_capitalist_sham]

Its the like Anarchist symbol.

A = Anarchism

Its just what they use for identification like communists use the hammer & sickle

[rouchambeau]

In my opinion it's poorly done. Usually the symbol is drawn with a perfect circle and an "A" that has all of the lines where they should be.

[bloody_capitalist_sham]

yeah the A there is like a little kiddie punk version

oh well

A inside O. Anarchy is Order.

very symbollic :)

It was first used in the 1860s by The International Workingmen's association (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Workingmen%27s_Association) The A represents the concept of Anarchy, the O symbolises Order.

I think the current Anarchism logo Is a bit messy, we should probably use the more geometric version, :AO:

Here's some cool graffiti I found that's kinda relevant.

A friend forwarded it to me, so I assume she took a photo of it.

Too bad it's bullshit, I don't think Leninists and Anarchists work together that well :P

I prefer the "kiddy punk" version of the symbol.

[Jamal]

I knew it had something to do with Anarchism. Thanks.

[Karl Marx's Camel]

Is the symbolic value:

"Only when class society has been eradicated, there can be stability"?

Somewhat like "The meaning of peace is the absence of opposition to socialism"?

Lol. Still, I like the symbology, despite the differences of ideology. A nice graffiti.

[YSR]

As I understand the symbolism, NWOG, yes.

Although I would put it as "The most organized society is the anarchist society."

I found the anarchist A and the sickle and hammer to be pretty self explainitory, but the flag in the middle, Correct me if I'm wrong, but thats Antifa, right?

It is indeed and AntiFa stands for Antifaschismus in German.


During the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s, the Soviet Union sponsored various anti-fascist movements, usually using the name Antifa to describe the organizations. POWs captured by the Soviets during the Great Patriotic War in the 1940s were encouraged to undertake Antifa training. For example, Pál Maléter, a Hungarian POW, became a Communist after undergoing Antifa training in Kiev.

AntiFa are sexy.

Well, Antifa has several meanings. I always took it to be that in all nations Antifa operates within, antifa was the common part of the organisations name, then after the 'fa' the spelling would change.

Of course, in the UK we take it to be an acronym for Anti Fascist Action
