The green represents the need for an emphasis on ecological change, whilst the black is in reference to the black anarchist flag (here’s some historical context.

The red 8-sided asterisk represents the urgency for communities to cooperate in ridding eco-fascism. I picked the 8-sided one to represent the worldwide need for change.

    I like it, reminiscent of Moorcock’s 8 pointed chaos star, but less aggressive, more community / cooperation. If that’s the intent, blue might be a better fit than red, perhaps with a red circle (or red outer / blue inner circle) around for the fight against eco-fascism. That gets the three primary colors for infinite possibility as well.

        Hmm, it’s also the color for stop. What color would you use for fascism, it’s mostly black which conflicts with anarchism, or perhaps brown. I think the wide solarpunk umbrella is more important than the communism, but YMMV.

        I feel like the blue doesnt stand out well against the green, but besides that I really like it

        Yeah, that’s good (I think it looks better too). I like the community pressing in on fascists, better than my thought, which was a circle around the asterisk. Also has a flower motif and a caring for waterways aspect.

      What?

      Anarchist communism is one of the three dominant tendencies within anarchism (anarcho-communism, anarcho-syndicalism, mutualism).

      Ah yes, like liberal fascism.

      This is actually an awesome comparison by accident, because liberalism inevitably decays into fascism, c.f. the history of AmeriKKKa.

      Uhhh they have absolutely nothing in common. I fear you’re lost because anarcho-communism is considered pretty normal.

      Anarchism refers to rules without a specific ruler.

          That might be because you’re perhaps thinking of anarchists as being absolute anarchists and communism being only the Marxist/Leninist version. Anarcho-communism can also include Democratic Confederalism, which hinges upon the idea of a bunch of tiny governing bodies working together as organic, voluntary coalitions (think native American tribes working together but remaining individually distinct).

          The “anarcho” part comes from a fundamental rejection of gigantic governing bodies, and the “communism” part recognizes community as the fundamental and vital block in the overall structure.
