It might have meant that at some point, but it certainly does not mean that now
I never knew about the origin of the flag but I always see it used by ancaps and other far right groups.
The red and black colors and the black cat arching its back are anarchist symbols.
Anarcho-syndicalism specifically; which is very much anathema to anarcho-capitalism.

I dont think its doing what you think its doing... if it means something to you then more power to you. If your only doing it to piss of right wing conservatives... That's probably not what its doing.
You knew the modern interpretation because you fly it next to your pride flag, but still asked what it means now? Confusing interaction.
You should do that, if you own any flags and weren't Just Asking Questions.
It means whatever the alt right chodes decide it means at whatever moment you ask them. I've never seen someone fly it that didn't have it right next to a trump flag.
