    I should probably post this in Graphics but I'm a lazy bugger and I suppose this sort of counts as Propaganda.

    Additives Free and I are trying to see if we can get the flag up in as many public and unlikely places as possible (we do not condone this activity and all topics in this post are strictly hypothetical yada yada yada) anyway here's one just so you know what we're attempting.



    Anyway, see if you guys can get the flag up in as many entertaining places as possible.

    (Additives, edit this as you see fit, if it needs it.)

    You should probably write like 'Anarcho-Syndicalism' under the flag or something, because honestly the flag doesn't hold the iconism of something like the hammer and sickle. I'm willing to be most folks don't know what that flag represents.

    that flags represent anarchism, and It hasn't inspired workers to take political power and overthrow the system, at least in exploited countries, so I guess I can't put it around here...but I get your point, perhaps we should think of a universal flag that represents revolution without excluding any leftist ideology.

    If that's your goal, just paint the word "Revolution"

    Such a flag already exists:

    This can stay here, it is propaganda after all (Class War sticker). Im sure Black Dagger wont mind :P

    But yea, I just realised...It looks almost detached from the actual bunker...random. We need to do a huge bright Green and blue meadow mural on the wall&#33;&#33;

    The Hammer and sickle is also largely misunderstood. But someone, I don&#39;t know who, sprayed a large Pink hammer and Sickle on the wall just outside the bunker.

    Surely the &#39;black and red&#39; flag is the most inclusive? Red for marxists, black for anarchists

    How about a simple Red Star? Its seems to be the one symbol that all Marxists have in common.

    Of course, except that not everyone is a marxist. Now a black and red star, that would be a sign of solidarity between marxist and anarchist communists.

    I can get behind a a black flag... and I expect anarchists to be able to get behind a red one.
