According to Wikipedia


It was later used in the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939). There is a picture of an anarchist militia member with the circle-A painted clearly on the back of his helmet. It was adopted as a symbol of the Alliance Ouvrière Anarchiste (AOA) as its symbol at its 25 November 1956 founding in Brussels,

Does anyone have anyone have this image. Or know where it is?

Furthermore, there have been recent changes to this wiki article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchist_symbolism) which mention anarchist ties to the freemasons, repetitively. Which is pandering to the nazis jewish conspiracy bollocks. :angry:

What's good about anarchists is that they do not "force" names and symbols on people like authoritarian communists did (hammer and sickle). Just like the word anarchism (which was at first a curse for people who, during the French revolution, wanted radical changes in economics) the symbol was created by an individual and then voluntarily used by many others as it bacame popular during civil wars and class strugles.
