So I recently discovered there's an anarchist bookfair happening in Tartu, Estonia. So I made these icons as a way to contribute spreading the news. What do you think?

More info about the bookfair is here: https://riga-anarchist-bookfair.hotglue.me/

Fuck it. I'm done with you. You don't seem to listen.

Actually, No. Here is the AFAQ chapter on nationalism: https://anarchistfaq.org/afaq/sectionD.html#secd6, and it is the perfect example of what I'm talking about.

This means that anarchists distinguish between nationality (that is, cultural affinity) and nationalism (confined to the state and government itself). This allows us to define what we support and oppose -- nationalism, at root, is destructive and reactionary, whereas cultural difference and affinity is a source of community, social diversity and vitality.

My use of the flags is to showcase the nationalities that partake in this event, as they are in the geographic area. Not the nationalism of the state which has usurped these symbols.

And trust me I am an anarchist. First and foremost. Anarchism is the surrounding idea of the centre of my being, which is one word: "Kind". I doubt there is anything that can overpower it. It's fuelled by the kind of faith that others reserve only for god.
