Description
In 1921 the Convention of Free Worker-Peasant Soviets agreed on this design of a coat of arms to be used by diplomatic representatives of the Free Territory. The black flag is a common symbol of Anarchism, the muskets represent the Revolutionary Insurrection Army of the Free Territory. The red-and-black star above is a frequently used symbol of Platformism, a school of thought within Anarchism that Makhnovism is usualy attributed to.
Sadly, the Free Territory never survived the Russian Civil War because the Bolsheviks turned against them after they no longer were useful to them in their fight against the White Movement in OTL.
Note that this is the first and (up to this moment) only work I did wich actualy represents my personal political orientation. Because of this, critics will be sent to Siberia. I heard the weather is wonderful there at this time of the year.

amazing work. have you ever considered making a coat of arms for anarchist Catalonia or the commune of pairs?

For a communist Fracne or the Paris Commune, I already have several versions of those ( for example or ) and Catalonia is currently not planned

Just out of curiosity as a fellow anarchist, why is your profile picture of just Marxists?

Because I have since this was created changed my opinion pretty heavily. I'd now consider myself more of a Lurxemburgist.

If you give credits, yes, you can do with this what ever you want.

Ah, now I know what this reminds me of- this is akin to the Waffen SS totenkopf insigna. To be on the other side of those who bear it, soldier or pirate alike, man, skull and bones are as bad-ass as it gets

Well, ideologically they couldn't be further apart

Oh! I just noticed the political background of this flag and I agree. However, I look at both European-based political revolutions based upon their actual outcomes- which unfortunately are generally the same. Good intentions for their people, but rather opposite outcomes.
But 'tis a badass flag nonetheless.

Well, the outcome of the Free Territory can't realy be commented on, because it didn't come to much

Every good Flag needs a couple of Skulls and Guns, and maybe Swords and Snakes... maybe that would be the logo of a Metal-band, either that or Metal Bands need to have their own countrys.
Metalicanada would be a nice place to live.

I'm no anarchist, but I've always been fascinated by Makhno and the Free Territory. Well done!

The Free Territory, along with the Spanish Revolution is proof that Anarchism can be put into practice.

This is great, although the combination red-black for anarchism was born with the Anarco-Syndicalist movements in Spain during the Civil War, 1936-39, when the Communist C.N.T. and the Anarchist F.A.I. united.
Some places in Spain, like most of Aragon, were ruled by anarchist councils in real anarchist experiments that have only been tried once or twice elsewhere in the world.
So I don't think Makhno would have put any shade of red, anywhere, especially after Lenin's betrayal.
I hope I won't be sent to Siberia.

The CNT has never been communist, it is anarcho-syndicalist, the FAI is a more typical anarchist movement inside the syndicate, the more radical, the less one were the "Treintistas".
Acabo de darme cuenta de que te puedo hablar en castellano...

I know all of that, thanks for the history lesson.
The fact that the Free Territory exists in this "timeline" also means that Lenin did in fact not betray Makhno.
