Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

I have a black flag, an AnCom(like my banner), and Anarcha Feminism(purple and black) one. Then I have a trans rights one, a smash the patriarchy one, and one that says All Cats Are Beautiful(ACAB). I also have Black Fist and Pride Flag/Inclusive one. I stay away from Hammer and Sickle just because it's so known. The earnings sound cute though lol. A lot of these can be marked up as like just being progressive I guess.
I want a DSA rose eventually.
Overall, it's sort of all over the place but each sort of represents the stages I have gone through along my leftist journey.
Nice, if you want to be more explicit you could try AES flags, antifa symbol, baby Lenin, or master Soviet hemp grower. You could also get random Soviet pins.
Edit: also based band pins. I know my dad has a cool Rage Against the Machine pin.
I have a few antifa pins that didn't make it on the hat and I think the Antifascist Action one is a bit more known so maybe too obvious? I think my friend ended up nabbing the scared cat pin one from me.
I should clarify I didn't mean the Black Flag band logo, but just the black flag anarchist one. I do have a Misfits pin that an old friend gave me and I was gonna look to get an Anti-flag pin but the SA allegations happened so idk now lol.
Antifa is assumed to be anarchist, so people won’t assume you’re a commie. I didn’t assume you meant the band black flag. The misfits are reactionary, but their music is good, so whatever. Anti-flag is generally recognized as cringe, so probably not. We should each independently look into pins for various leftist bands from SOAD to Immortal Technique. Pins also, aren’t too hard to make.
First, it looks like I'm gonna be listening to SoaD today lol. Second, I've actually been wanting to get a few custom pins made and have a friend that does graphic design. I have an idea for one with like a big rainbow and clouds but the clouds are big bubbly text that says "Stay woke, comrade." The idea is sort of a on-the-nose way of making fun of the chuds that decry "woke culture" and such.
I just happened to be listening to IEAIAIO rn, which is quite a coincidence as I’m shuffling my whole library. I thought of more ideas. You could get a Palestinian flag, a panafrican flag, or a black panthers symbol.
I'm listening to their whole discog from newest to oldest today. That's my mini goal lol.
I've been considering getting something for the Black Panthers but want to wait until I focus my reading on that subject. Palenstinian flag might be fun since it will piss off both dems and reps. You know what, maybe some purchase therapy might be in order today.
SOAD is one of the only bands I do that with (listen to all their stuff in one go).
Those sound rad!!
