Been following OWS on live stream: http://www.ustream.tv/theother99.

Just posted this on that live thread:

Idiot is waving around an anarchist flag for others to follow. Cameraman asks what the colors represent and he says that "red means community and black means hunger, at least that was what I was told."

Actually, this flag:



is the symbol of the anarcho-syndicalist and anarcho-communist movements. Black is the traditional color of anarchism, and red is the traditional color of socialism. The red-and-black flag combines the two colors in equal parts, with a simple diagonal split. Typically, the red section is placed on the top-left corner, with the black on the bottom-right corner of the flag. This symbolizes the co-existence of anarchist and socialist ideals within the anarcho-syndicalism movement, and to symbolize the more socialistic means of the movement leading to a more anarchistic end. From Anarchist symbolism

When I was watching he said red was ‘social change’ and black was ‘hunger’.

‘Social change’ is 0bama’s commie spread the wealth socialism to me.
