Flyer for my high school communist group i'm starting
What do you guys think? Made it myself using word. Gonna put these up over my school.
I wouldn't call it a party, and would probably replace the hammer and sickle with a a red star.

Socialism resides entirely in the revolutionary negation of the capitalist ENTERPRISE, not in granting the enterprise to the factory workers.

Why? The association with the soviet union and dictatorship?
i would recommend you joining a local communist party and put out their posters. and you need to have at least 50 people members/followers to call it a party, at least where i live.
Lol, a 1 person party is where i am at right now.
Exactly. You don't want to be giving off that vibe. Also, you have two anarchist symbols, but only one communist symbol; maybe replace one of the anarchist symbols with some other socialistic symbol?

Well it could be an anarcho-communist party, symbols doesn't really make a difference.
I want marxists and anarcho-communists. Sectarianism doesn't matter when you are the only person there. Besides i like marxism and anarchist communism.
i would still recommend you look in to the already existing parties/youth leagues, read their programs compare to other parties and ask question. here are a list of parties choose wisely

Go for it!
I still think you shouldn't become a 'party', as you'll create another sect. Create an entry-level group- reading circles, discussions, etcetera. Maybe start making your own alternate culture?
As for a symbol, try something like a raised fist or some crap.

If it's a party, what's your platform?
And are you alone in this? It's a little silly to form a "party" or any group on your own, and not with a group of like-minded people.
What are you goals for this group?

Yeah, "Group" or "Club" is probably a better bet than "Party" (even just in terms of maintaining some degree of theoretical coherence, vis- Marx's understanding of the party). You should keep "party" in the email address though, because that's funny.
As for the flyer itself, do you have access to colour copies?
If not, I'd ditch the black box, or it's going to be damn near unreadable.
Actually, I'd ditch the black box period, because I think it's less-than-attractive: re-word its content into a catchy paragraph. The lack of any full sentences seriously makes the flier less credible.
Also, ditch the black and red flag - the square is, again, less than brilliant graphic design.
Maybe move the top text between the hammer & sickle / circle-A, and ditch them from the text itself (too cheesey!).
Hope this helps.

9 color copies! 9 color copies!
Or make them 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and make 8 and then you have 32 color flyers!
What if you just used a hammer and plough?

I like the bottom portion- it's right to the point about what a genuine revolutionary organization should stand for.
Brutus has a point though; lose the red star w/ hammer and sickle, I realize it looks cool as hell but unfortunately that particular symbol seems to be a favorite of Russian nationalists and tankies the world over....I'd suggest using one or the other.
Best of luck with this project, should it be successful I wouldn't mind some pointers for starting one of my own.

If you're starting a high school group, unless you already know there's a ton of communists at your school, I'm not too sure about making it a 'communist-only' group.
A lot of people wouldn't know enough about what that actually means to even want to join, depending on what you want to do, I'd suggest a reading/film/instructional/whatever group.
Iunno though.
The flyer doesn't really explain what exactly people can expect to do as part of the group.
Also, given that only a very small fraction of a percentage of people (in the USA at least) are communists, I don't think it really makes any sense to say "only communists can join" or whatever because then you'll end up with yourself and maybe one other person in the club. If you make it open to anyone who would like to learn about communism as well (because their history classes didnanterrible class of explaining it correctly) then you might get more people and it might be more effective.
