Isn't having a flag kind of antithetical to anarchism?
No. In politics, Anarchism doesn’t mean ‘no rules, everyone for themselves!’, more like everyone for each other. Well, unless you take AnCaps seriously…
But regardless, it’s an ideology, not a lack of ideology, and it helps Anarchists to identify and spread their message to use symbols like the flag.
An-coms are like small government socialists. Give means of production to the local unions! Abolish corps! Abolish federal government!
Well we had to start calling ourselves anarchists because the capitalists stole our word for libertarian you see.
Anarchism is a complex web of horizontal structures, not the absence of it. Having uniting symbolism is perfectly fine.
