@micr0 The image shows a screenshot of a Twitter post by Eric Jorgenson ([@]EricJorgenson). The post reads: "Capitalism needs a logo. It's a huge miss that Communism has the Hammer & Sickle (which actually goes hard) and Capitalism has nothing. Let's do better branding for Capitalism!" The post has garnered 3.2 million views, 1.7K comments, 759 retweets, 6.8K likes, and 491 bookmarks. Below the original tweet, there is a reply from user MATSCHARELLI ([@]matscharelli) with a logo featuring a stylized dollar sign within a circle on a yellow background. The logo is a play on the Nazi swastika, symbolizing a critique of the original tweet's suggestion.

@aperture @dacig @micr0 I assume it's the demonetization symbol from YouTube, which symbolizes how small creators struggle to earn a living whilst the corporations are increasingly hostile and greedy, earning record profits every quarter while, and paying nothing to the working class who are living paycheck to paycheck and can barely afford necessities.

it's definitely not piss though because piss is actually cool unlike capitalism

@dacig @micr0 There is a faction called ancaps, anarcho-capitalists, who use a black and yellow flag. The yellow distinguishes them from other “anarcho” ideology flags. However ancaps are actually fascists, and they should have the word “anarchist” smacked out of their mouths.

Destroy all unjust* hierarchies! (*except corporate hierarchies, landlord-tenant hierarchies, employer-employee power dynamics, billionaires hoarding resources, private security forces with qualified immunity, paywalled healthcare systems, subscription-based food access, algorithmic control of information, social credit tied to spending habits, monopolistic tech empires, rentier capitalism, and wage slavery—those are just “voluntary exchanges,” bro.)

@dacig @micr0 The yellow and black could be a nod to the flag of anarcho-capitalism.
Show threadLicho2d ago
@dacig Probably similar to anarcho-capitalism, meant to resemble gold. Green would probably work for a classic dollar look, but imo yellow was a perfect choice here because of how ugly it looks, really like a faded red of an enshittified printer that still has yellow but run out of magenta or magenta pigment was less stable and faded since 1939. It also looks like piss. @micr0

Show threadlp0 on fire 6d ago

@RustedComputing @micr0, well, I've seen that exact $ before. It's exactly the shape of the $ character in the ZX Spectrum, ZX81 and (presumably) ZX80 character sets.

I would, however, be very surprised if this is anything other than total co-incidence.

@lp0_on_fire @micr0 not sure. Unless you mean that is also tilted at 45 degrees. Then, yes, of course, absolutely a coincidence. Just a running dollar sign...

@aquarius1842 @micr0 the accumulation of capital by the wealthy is a central right in capitalism of any kind. Capital represents power, and at a certain level includes the power to buy politicians. There is no capitalism that is not or does not eventually become crony capitalism.

@capriciousday @aquarius1842 all transactional relationships are capitalism. Only robust public participation in democratic governance can effectively limit the rapacious tendencies inherent to capitalism.

@micr0 The obvious reason is that capitalism isn't a totalitarian or group ideology, hence why it doesn't have a unique leader or a symbol that you have to follow and that serves to know whether you belong to the privileged group or not. Every cult has a symbol, even national flags and other flags are cult like to some extent, the symbol is what unifies that mass of people and differentiates them from the rest, it's deeply tied to a group identity.
