Watching the live stream posted at hot air. The crowd is marching back to wall street following the red and black flag. the camera man aksed what the flag meant and the protested said it’s an ancient greek symbol of hunger and social change. The flag really means…

The red-and-black 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.

I wonder how much people really understand what they’re doing.
