To be frank, that picture looks like a snapshot from one of those erectile dysfunction commercials.

Plus, you have to admit, the Nazi Eagle's got a cool-looking design

The Nazis were total basterds, but they had a great sense of visual design. That's why I hafta go with the swastika as my favorite: it just says "evil" and "powerful" better than anything. I have no sympathy whatever for Nazism, Fascism, or Anti-Semitism - I just think it looks cool as hell.

Probably the Boer/Afrikaaner nationalist rune. I don't agree with them but it is pretty bad ass.

Of course. The DPRK's the only stalinist country that can properly pull off blue.

Alright.
Why?

If I understand correctly, (part of) anarchy is rejection of social guidelines (among others), so instead of the style of logos used by, for example, corporations (the bold lines that form the anarchy symbol you posted), the scrawled form seems to reject those guidelines.

Sorry if that was awfully worded, I can't think of ones that would better describe the point I'm trying to put across.

Although I'm completely opposed to Communism, I have to admit the hammer, sickle, and brilliant red can make some awesome combinations.

This is true. Commies seem awesome at imagery. The face of Che is one of the most iconic images of the modern era. The red and yellow is eye-catching; the hammer and sickle is striking; the old propaganda posters are so interesting.

Now that I think about it...*pulls out Das Kapital*

Propaganda period tends to be interesting.

I've always found old Soviet propaganda and red China propaganda far more interesting than Nazi or other fascist pieces. Just an aesthetic thing I guess.

Probably.

not sure if it would be considered political, but:

That is a very superficial (and wrong) view of anarchism, but I won't go into that. On the other hand, it is interesting to note that the A-O (an A in a circle) symbol reputedly comes from the saying "Anarchy is the Mother of Order", although it's just a rip-off from the IWA, does make one wonder if the scribbled A is going against its own ideals, ahah.

My favorite symbol is the Armillary sphere with the shield (see in pic), and the socialist/communist red flag for the mixture of message/simplicity, as well as the red/black one of anarcho-syndicalism.

As leader of the Asigna Philippines, a currently rising nation laddies and gentlemen... and leader of the final peace movement of the Asigna party, let me introduce to you... the Asigna symbol

The Phi mason



Phi... The first 3 letters of the fatherland... Philippines. Simple, unique, patriotic

Let dead things be dead.

Represents the republicans, nationalists, and patriots of the Khmer Republic (1970-1975) who fought to protect the country.
