The black flag is intended to signify the absence of a flag or national colours. Black is the absence of a flag. Also, opposite of white, therefore standing for resistance and resiliency.
Red for the spilled blood of people fighting for freedom. The red flag is just a traditional revolutionary symbol from the French Revolution.

I remember reading something about Black flags being used to symbolize Fascism also. Anarchy seems to be colorless.

The use of colours to denote certain political groups comes from Russian revolution, and during that the anarchist groups operated under the umbrella title of the black guards.

Hm. Need to find out Fascist colors then...

My point was I'd rather be a Communist or a Fascist. Or maybe take option #3 with the one in the chamber.

The fascist colour is brown, due to the Nazi's use of brown shirts.

But the Italians used Black Shirts.

The Italians never had a holocaust so Fascism was never as closely associated to it as it was to Germany.

[ClearlyInvsible]

But the Germans were National Socialists, not de-facto Fascists. A better comparison would be with say, Spain or Portugal.

[SherlockCat]

They might not be true fascists but they're still closely linked with it, hence the fascist colour is brown.

[ClearlyInvsible]

But you're still associating brown with Fascism due to a singular nation.

[Augy]

Fascism isn't really a single phenomenon. It can broadly be separated into corporatism and extreme nationalism. The former tends to use the latter, but they represent two distinct phenomena that can both be properly termed fascism.

Fascism is a reactionairy totalitarian political system that attempts to preserve capitalism within a new social structure. It aims to end class struggle through the absorption of class struggle into the supremacy of the nation state, redirecting it outwards. Like Italy going after Abbysinia and nations within their "Mare Nostrum" fantasy and the Nazi's with their Greater Germany etc.

A singular nation that conquered most of central Europe.

You're getting waaaayyy out of topic there.

politically aligned sources are fine when not attempting to push political ideals.

Guys, why don't we all return to the topic at hand and decide somewhere else which colour we are going to give to which certain group of idiots.
