    For me, the red stands for two things: “blood” and “Nazi”. I consider fascism to be the next stage of malignant capitalism.

      For some reason being a nerd about heraldry scratches an itch for me. Traditionally the “stain” Sanguine represents blood.

      Red is the most common color in national flags. I wouldn’t want to cede the color to Nazis.

      Fascism isn’t a stage of capitalism necessarily. It’s more of a tool that capitalists bring out whenever labor threatens to take back what’s ours. It’s always there, loitering in the background, silently threatening us to stay in line.
