        No it's just something I don't expect from Bernie socdems. What in that post tells you they are socdems?

        Except for the three arrows, but it is used more as a broad antifascist symbol nowadays.

          ....bernie is a demsoc, not a socdem.

          Americans know nothing about political science

            this your first time catching footage of a pnw black bloc action? iron front symbols share the same space with anti-fascist action flags, all of them being flown predominantly by anarchists, and they're entirely divorced from how they were originally used in weimar germany

            american succdems don't participate in black bloc, generally

              Black bloc is a tactic, not a cohesive group. Also it's mostly stupid spectacle that at best will get us 1905'd. No worth in it of course we dont participate.

                Edit: who must go? :assad-must-stay:

                was talking about it as a tactic, but by all means educate me

                as someone who's friends with people who participate in black bloc actions in that region, I can tell you it's a mix of MLs and anarchists

                honestly your posting all over this thread is indistinguishable from wrecker shit. if you're actually a comrade I hope you reflect on that

            I am not American. And Bernie calls himself a demsoc, but the policies he pushes for are not socialist, they are socdem at best. He is not a socialist because he is not opposed to capitalism, simple as that.

              ...marxism became a thing decades after socialism started. (It grew out of french radicalism) No hope with you guys

                  The flag is stupid and is a quick way to tell that the group running around isnt serious

                      Its a anti antifa flag waved by people calling themselves antifa and who base all their ideology on revisionist squatters in central and eastern europe.

                        Your takes weren't exactly wrong, but they were bad. There's some room for criticism but you're missing the mark with pendantry and complete dismissal instead of nuance.
