RED FLAG=SOCIALISM.
Communism is a red flag with gold.
Anarchy is black (unless a sub branch then it is split diagonally say red and black for anarcho-syndicalism which is socialism/anarchy)
The red flag is usually a union reference. See Jim Connell's song "The Red Flag" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Red_Flag_(song)
"The Red Flag is a protest song associated with left-wing politics, in particular with socialism." (from the above link on Jim Connell's song)
What exactly this song is about I can not tell you. But I'm rather sure its not about kids fighting parents and I'm positive it's not about anarchy.
***After watching the music video and paying hella close attention to the lyrics I think it may be about the empowerment of youth in the social movement.
"the red flag waving never ment the same" to me shows that the middle aged protesters of the past have grown old and settled in and the radical social movement of the past is now in the hands of the children. Right in the beginning of the song he starts with:
"Well I've never seen us act like this
Our only hope is the minds of kids
And they'll show us a thing or two"
Kids have never been the bearers of the red flag but now with "idles" like Che Guevara the youth of today are becoming more informed and more radicale at a younger and younger age. And of course all that about re writing history and such.
Ok thats it no more of this!
