Hi,

I bought a camouflaged jacket from an army dump several months ago. I always wanted to spray or paint some cool logos or drawings on it. But I have a small problem.
I want to paint a leftist logo on it that can be understood and accepted by both anarchists and communists. So no Lenin because that only suits for marxist-leninists. I want it to be just a general leftist symbol so it wont offend any movement (like anarchists, or maoists, or council communists, etc.)
I'm a member of a Troskyist party in Belgium so I do not want to spray an anarchist A with a hammer and sikle. (Besides, I for most of the time do not agree with many anarchist views on how to reach a classless society.) If I do i'll have to explain why, and I don't want to talk about it everytime someone asks why the hell a Trotskyist would do that. You see?

Does someone have a good idea?

Red star is probably best if you just want something leftist in general.

I'd say use a hammer logo.

What about a fist? Or is that only typical marxist? I thought of paiting 'nature' as a background because I'm also sort of "green-marxist", maybe animals because I love animals.

But then again you're 'independent'. I don't want to argue with my fellow comrades all the time if they don't get it why I have a mixture of communist AND anarchist symbols (after most of my fellows totally support Lenin's view on anarchism).
That's why I want it to be neutral.

a black star?

EDIT: or just go for the hammer n sickle A, I have it too on a shirt and I argue with mates about it too, it's not a bad thing.

Fist for me symbolises the proleterian struggle...fist in a red star?

dont worry aboyt what people would think of you or your views...wear your symbol with pride not what your friends want you to see
