Are you a student that feels like the system is failing? Do you want a better education for everyone? Do you want to advocate for your rights?

Then I have just the thing…

Examples of libertarian socialism

  the paris commune - it formed in 1871 during the franco-prussian war. it was torn by internal disagreements and didn’t last quite long, but it was the first modern attempt to create a truly democratic, stateless society.

   the anarchists in ukraine during the russian civil war who fought against both the reds (bolsheviks) and the whites (reactionaries). nestor makhno was a pretty important figure there. i gotta admit, however, that some of them were antisemitic and organized pogroms against jews.

the korean people’s association in manchuria (x) - under the rule of imperial japan, korean revolutionaries created this zone in 1929. it only lasted 2 years before being invaded by japan, but it was democratically controlled by peasant’s councils, its economy was built upon mutual aid and, significantly, it had no currency.

  the anarcho-syndicalists of cnt-fai  during the spanish civil war, mostly in Catalonia and Aragon. their militias fought against the catholic fundamentalist fascist falangists of francisco franco.

   the zapatista movement in mexico, mainly chiapas, which started in the late 90s and continues to this day. at its core are indigenous people, aiming to reclaim their land. (the video i linked is in spanish but you can turn on english subtitles)

  democratic confederalism in rojava, northern syria!!! the majority of people there are kurdish, but there are lots of international volunteers. their main principles are ecology, feminism and direct democracy. they fight against ISIS, other terrorist groups and the fascist Turkish government.

   let’s not forget how hunter-gatherers organized their societies (and still do in some parts of the world!)

am i doing this right? feel free to share more examples!

Yo I need some help with understanding this

So, on Twitter lately, I’ve seen a combination of the black flag and red banner emoji together on leftist Twitter profiles, like this: 🏴🚩.

At first, I assumed it meant anarchism due to the solid black flag, which was the earliest symbol used when anarchism was first flourished. Plus, the combo of black and red colours, which are the colours of the anarchist flag nowadays, specifically the anarcho-communist, anarcho-syndicalist, and libsoc groups. 

Though, there’s the thing that confuses me. I've also seen it on the profiles of those who identify with statist ideologies like DemSoc and Marxist-Leninist, along with those who say to go vote. Could the symbols be just to identify that a person is leftist, regardless of how left on the leftist scales they are? Or are they in fact anarchist symbols as my mind originally assumed?

I received a vision of this in my head, like a prophet receiving visions from an angry god, and I had to make it.
