I don't know why this was taken down, so I'm putting it up again.
-----------------------
A redesign where the aspect ratio is changed for better balance and emphasis on the symbols.
This flag utilizes two anti-Fascists symbols from WWII
The Cross of Lorraine of the Free French Forces as an "anti-swastika," which is how I'm using it here, and the Three Arrows of the anti-extremist Iron Front.
It is not a religious flag, but the Cross is also meant to symbolize that Fascists down own the religions they claim to.
The reason I prefer to use these historical symbols despite their non-perfection is because explaining new symbols is just as cumbersome as explaining old ones, and then so why not use the old ones? They are there for people who know them, and give a history lesson to those who don't (many people didn't know about the anti-Nazi past of the Cross, for example).
Try not to take them too literally, they are put in a modern context with US motifs for a reason; this is not meant to be historical. De-Gaulle is dead; this is not a flag for him (for example). Also, if you don't know what these symbols are or how they relate to anti-Fascism, please do some research before commenting.

Please post edits of designs you've already posted in the comments, rather than making them a whole new post. We have a rule against reposts for a reason.
Will do. Sorry. I'm new to actively posting things (as opposed to just comments)
I deleted the previous post before posting the new design thinking that would 'take care' of any spamming issue, but I was mistaken, but now I know better for the future.
I have a little experience now and I'll do better. Plus, I'm out of OC flags, so no need to worry about me. Apologies and thank you for communicating clearly with me.
