Many of us talk of a coming revolution. Like all revolutions, we don't just throw away our culture. We bring about change, but we keep what is good about our culture. One thing we'll need is a new flag. Of course all the rednecks will say "We fought for that flag. We can't just throw it away." I agree to a point. The US started with a revolution that ended feudalism and brought about the era of capitalism. But many of our forefathers really didn't get it. Tomas Jefferson and Tom Pain were two of the few who understood the significance of the Republican movement.
We started out with 13 stripes and thirteen stars. Some of our states were made from colonies in which we tried to exterminate indigenous people.
So my idea is to use the original flag with the hammer and sickle to bring in a new era of democratic socialist construction. Some of the old, with that of the new.
Let's fly it up a flag pole and see who salutes it.
