    The flag also has dual meaning. Red for socialism, Black for Anarchism. Also, the flag has become the flag of the Anarcho-syndicalist movment.
    Anarchism implies socialism. And anarcho-syndicalism (a philosophy that I subscribe to, BTW) is a subset of anarchism.

    And I'm not aware of any instances of the flag being used before the Spanish Civil War.

      A movement that is long dead because my people are no longer misled.
      Actually, they were "re-educated" by your hero there.

          My avatar is the cover of Tool's Opiate album. Why? Because it's a good picture (with some meaning behind it as well, anti-conformism blabla), a great album, and because I'm too lazy to change it.

            Giancarlo, that must be the dumbest and most disturbing signature (+avatar) I've seen so far. Ever thought of getting a brain transplant?

                First off if the front that is represented by that flag was really supported by the people it wouldn't of been slaughtered by Nationalist Forces.

                  You're my hero, Gian. Nobody wins a flame war quite like you do.

                      Sorry ming, but tell Bas and Evil to lay off... it isn't nice to be insulted when I was just explaining myself. But I apologize for striking back.

                              IIRC, Franco, whilst dead, is still hated by the majority of the Spanish!
                              People don't like fascists, Giancarlo. If one of them is your hero, you have to take with comments that will continuously bash fascism, and then bash yourself.

                              I would recommend more discretion and erase it, if you really are tired of being bashed by others.

                                My avatar is of a true hero. Francisco Franco...
                                Great, now he worships a fascist dictator.

                                My avatar is a counterbalance to all the American flag waving going on in the world. Since I really dont want to waving around a Dutch flag, I'd use the EU's.
