    Doesn’t look like an official symbol, and it’s also used for signaling. Libertarian socialism?

    Cool quote about the black flag, another traditional anarchist flag:

    The black flag is the negation of all flags. It is a negation of nationhood … Black is a mood of anger and outrage at all the hideous crimes against humanity perpetrated in the name of allegiance to one state or another … But black is also beautiful. It is a colour of determination, of resolve, of strength, a colour by which all others are clarified and defined … So black is negation, is anger, is outrage, is mourning, is beauty, is hope, is the fostering and sheltering of new forms of human life and relationship on and with this earth

      It has been used by the spanish CNT/FAI, so at least since the 1930s.

      Libertarian socialism is just another term for anarcho-communism.

      The fact that “libertarian” is mostly connotated with ancaps goes back to Murray Rothbard, who “stole” the term. Before him, “libertarian” was a synonym for “anarchist”.

        Honestly, once I understood this, I found anarcho-communism much more understandable. Funny what power there is in words.
