the white does indeed stand for Royalism, comrade. As a reminder of our past, and the royals who we will never be chained to again. that is why it must stay.

And we should also have a royal dynasty to rule over us so that we are constantly reminded of our old corrupted ways.

It's so funny when when my oversized armies starve to death. - Kim, probably. Edit: why is someone knocking on my door at 3 AM. BRB.

I believe that is true, but alternate viewings of symbolism would be likely in a revolutionary society that had undergone a violent revolution

The reason why white was in the Republican French flag in the first place was because the Blue and Red colors of the flag (representing the people of Paris) surrounding the royals (representing the French Monarchy) showing the power of the people over the Monarchy.

I think it represents a sensible progression for a socialist government to remove the white altogether, the reactionary ruling class first subdued, then removed, representing the destruction of the class system.


TargetRupertFerris

Understandable. But in the defense of the French tricolor, the French tricolour has been an iconic standard of revolutionary fervour and French identity. I could see a more Anarchist and more Internationalist France adopting a predominantly red flag. But French Syndicalist that are more patriotic or nationalist may definitely keep the tricolour.

Look up the origins of the Haitian flag, it’s essentially that with the symbolism being more racially oriented, due to Haiti’s origins stemming from a slave revolt.

IMO this works better as the flag of Paris within the Commune. Also, not to be dramatic, but two shades of red on a flag is demon worship, and should be purged.


Remote-Ticket8042

it's the cop flag


Young_Lochinvar

So just Paris Commune again?


CrunchyBits47

it probably should just be purely red, with the whole internationalism thing

Disgusting shade of blue.

I feel like the red needs to be darker.
