I was bored and started messing around with photoshop and produced this revolutionary flag for the United States:

Certainly looks alot better then what I've seen posted here before.
Only the blue and green seem a bit... dodgy.

Blue and green symbolize earth and a bright future. Red, black, and green are the colors of Black Power movement. Black and red symbolizes communist-anarchist unity. Red and yellow are the colors of the traditional communist movement.

I like the left side of the flag a whole lot. As for the other side, the light blue is a little abrasive to the eye when placed next to the light green. What would happen if you made those two colors deeper?

I think the flag design is gorgeous and the color scheme is really cool and original. My only prob. with it is that it doesn't seem to really have anything to do with the U.S., I don't think most North Americans would really feel any sort of resonance with it. Who knows, maybe things would change after a revolution, but I think even then people would want to see their flag contain some familiar cultural motifs. I guess the flag could become emotionally relevant in people's minds if it were used throughout a heavy struggle though.

Why would I put such an ugly color on a flag?

Its no more technocracy's home than it is for anarcho-kiddies with a misanthropic hard on for fantasies of shooting trotskyists.

The EZLN uses m-16s. There as common on the weapon's market as ak-47s.

These are pretty cool, but I say this should be the flag for the U$A:

until I see this flying over the white house, all your multicolored schemes are variations on a theme.

mmmkay?

Black predates the red/black as an anarchist and even anarcho-communist symbol.It symbolizes the removal of all oppressive institutions and is the polar opposite of the white flag of surrender, meaning- no surrender!:redstar2000:

i usually wear a red bandana anyway.
the flag was awesome, way better than the crap i've done.
and during the revolution(be it violent) we'd prolly use M16's and M4's and other weapons that use NATO rounds since that's what the enemy is using, so it'd be easier to get ammo.
