Your Favorite Political Symbol

Postby Arborlawn » Mon Jul 30, 2012 11:52 am

What is your favorite political symbol?

Often times, a party may represent my beliefs, put the party symbol just does not do it for me. As an Israeli Socialist, my favorite political symbol is the Mapai Party Symbol. Mapai used to be the first Socialist Party, but it later became the Israeli Labour Party (which is less Socialist and also abandoned this amazing symbol)

Capitalism is always the answer. Whenever there's a problem in capitalism, you just need some more capitalism. If the solution isn't capitalism, then it's not really a problem. If your capitalism gets damaged, you just need to throw some capitalism on it and get on with your life.

The stars and stripes. I think I'd like the image of an eagle descending on the USSR and ripping it apart with its talons. Or an eagle breaking the hammer and sickle. I also like the image of the serpent being crushed beneath the heel. Though that is religious not political.

Possibly the Hammer and Sickle, or the Plough and the Stars (on my flag) which is also a symbol of socialism.

University of Planet from my sig (symbol in the middle) has a pretty bitchin' symbol for Technocracies. The Hammer and Sickle is also pretty much indisputably badass. Aside from that, can't think of much.
"I remember the first time I died. Facing down my foe was to be expected. Even inevitable. Resurrected, my soul awoke and my battles were fought harder. Death became my friend. I remember the first time I died. But dying gets easier; it's how you die that leaves your mark. Prepare to die..."

I like the image that the Modern Whig Party uses, though my political affiliation is not with the Whigs.
DOMINATED BY OBSESSION OF POWER AND LUST, LED BY UNWRITTEN RULES FROM CLINICAL BIRTH TO CLINICAL DEATH. ASK THE EPITHET OF GOD! IT STILL IS DECEPTION, NO IDEOLOGY, NO PROGRESS; NOTHING. THE WORLD IS SMOTHERED IN ABSURDITY.

The Hapsburg coat of arms is an ad for tripod.com? I'm partial to the hammer and sickle, personally.
