My take on this take

As it's mentioned, aspen trees share roots to help each other when someone needs it.

Maybe the chains should be replaced with a broken black stripe to make it less on the nose / more stylish.

      Yeah I thought that shade of red would be enough to walk around the red scare. Also, the crossed tools are a more obvious reference.

          Yes, but this red is warmer/darker, anyways a dark green could be a better alternative. Yet green can be offputting because chud reasoning "oh it's just environmentalism". Blue could be the more appeasing for normies, but blue sucks because is Dems color and fucking police color.

          Those broken chains were the first chains logo I could find so someone could make them more aesthetical

      It's all in the referenced post:

      That shade of red is because of blood, and that yellow is because of corn. Also those are the Griffyndor colors to hijack/lure libs

          I literally used the color of blood for my referenced post. It comes out a little brown so i think that's different.

    Colors: yes

    Aspen leaf: yes

    Broken chain: yes

    Pen and pickaxe: no. I think the work force in the USA is so diverse it's really impossible to symbolize everyone. I thought of creating a flag for my own area which would have, like, a lobster, a mouse, a computer mouse, a house—god knows what. It's too much. (Edit: I changed the colors of the traditional Maine state flag. It's still a settler flag but an improvement over the original—I hope. I'll post it later.)

    I don't know. The hammer and sickle is controversial but so powerful and badass. If I saw people marching with a simple red flag outside I would cum so fast it would travel back in time.

      Hey maybe the broken-chains-and-leaf could be the "default" and each place adds their own details.

      In the post I reference they said the pickaxe is because of Blair Mountain (the past) and the pen is the future (also both pointing to the left). Otherwise yeah miners are a small minority of workers.

    I think the aspen leaf stands on its own and doesn't need an old-school-communism style crossed tools symbol or color scheme. Incorporating the broken black stripe could be good though.

        Thanks for keeping the pickaxe and pen. I think we're reaching perfection with this. I'm gonna do a version with a stripe instead of the chain.

      Yeah, but I thought "the symbol of communism is stepping on the past"

    I'd say make it more clear that the chain is broken and not to be repaired, like them flailing from the force of being destroyed, or do away with the chain entirely.

    As much as I like the symmetry of it, a straight chain like that (even though it's broken) gives an initial impression that the goal of the movement is to hold people down.

      Good idea, I lack the skills to do it but yeah the chains snaking out could be done nicely.
