re: #438 SanFranciscoZionist

I once read a biography of Emma Goldman, in which the author described meeting with some elderly people who had worked with her back in the day.

She had an Irish setter named ‘Red Emma’. The geriatric anarchists were upset by this, because red was not their movement color. (And also, I suspect, because a bunch of Jews born in the Pale of Settlement in the 1890s probably didn’t see naming a dog after someone as a great honor.)

hahaha. So silly - the black flag was in part an attempt to move away from allegiances. And yet it spawned a whole set of different sub-flags for different sects.
The anarch-syndicalist flag is half red, half black.

This Monty Python and the Holy Grail moment never gets old:
