    The flag you use in your profile picture has been used by that ideology many times. Thomas Sankara in Burkina Faso or the Sandinista revolution in Nicaragua spring to mind.

    It's the ancom flag and has been used to represent the hand in hand coalition of anarchist and communist forces many many times. You'd enjoy learning about the Sandinistas in Nicaragua they had a cool thing going on, got fucked by the americans though. The CNT also used it in revolutionary Spain which was again the coalition of ML and anarchists.

    None of these are "stealing it". They are anarchists and communists working together.

    Can you give me an example of the ancom flag being raised by revolutionaries that hasn't involved a coalition between anarchists and communists? I don't think there's a single instance of it historically but I'd be really interested in seeing an example if one exists.

    When the group is only made up of anarchists, the black flag is raised. The entire symbolic point of the red and black flag is the coalition of the two.

    Calling the Spanish revolutionaries "MLs cosplaying as ancoms" is absurd historical revisionism, and really honestly offensive to everyone that fought and lost to the fascists.
