Anarchist symbolism

Anarchist symbolism is a set of symbols and pictures that are used to represent anarchism, which is a political philosophy that believes we should have a society without rulers and governments. Some common symbols anarchists use are a circle-A, the black flag, and crossed-out symbols like a circle-X. The circle-A stands for the word “anarchy,” which means there are no rules or laws. The black flag is a symbol for anarchism because it stands for anarchism’s lack of a government and its rejection of nationality. Crossed-out symbols like circle-X mean that a law, rule, or other idea is being rejected or fought against. Anarchists use these symbols to communicate their beliefs and to show that they are part of the anarchist movement.
