The hammer and sickle is a bad symbol associated with an unfavourable leftist past, and bad viewpoints even now. We’re anarchist, and know that some ‘leftist’ symbols aren’t actually leftist.
Claiming to be an anarchist and insist we use flags is peak irony. Never met an anarchist that thinks nations should even exist. Your beliefs are incoherent.
You haven’t broken out of your CIA education even. Fascinating.
i don’t see someone demanding you comply with their worldview, i see someone giving you advice on how to be a more effective communicator, and therefor recruiter. class-based politics is all about solidarity with the working people, and for a lot of working people the hammer and sickle represents the capital holders that opressed them. leftists operating in post-soviet countries go out of their way to ensure that it’s clear that their politics align with Nestor Mahkno and not Vladimir Lenin. they are still communists, but they very universally identify as anarchists because the goal is not to revive the soviet union which dissappeared their relatives, but instead bring about a true post-state world.
they do this not because they haven’t broken out of their CIA poison but because the hammer and sickle was representative of a system of authoritarianism that was left wing in aesthetic only
i feel pretty unwelcome in this community. it’s making me plan a lemmy hiatus to focus the energy i waste here on distributing some more zines this week with instructions on strategies that have proven useful against ICE

It would be better to use the flags instead 🙂

…don’t preach, anarchists aren’t really…
Uh, we meant the anarchist flags, apologies we weren’t clear about that, we would have thought that was understood.
I don’t know who “we” is, but I think you would fit in better in an anarchist community instead.
If I remember right, “we” is celes personal pronoun.
I don’t know what was said before the deletion, but are anarchists not welcome here?

this is a lefty memes community on an anarchist server. it is an anarchist community
For a community of anarchists, there’s a lotta liberals in here…

Ah, yes you’re probably correct, we aren’t interested in anything less than anarchism. Have a nice day, genuinely.
