this is the most generous possible interpretation of the gadsden, while ignoring its current usage, as well as ignoring the anti-authoritarian meaning behind the sabocat, and red/black scheme.

ps: the American revolution was a lateral move, replacing a hereditary monarchy with a dictatorship of capital. The 'founding fathers' were their time's equivalent of musk and bezos, and they explicitly wanted to protect the interest of the capital owning class from the will of the working class and those humans who they kept as property.

How so?

Meaning of symbols and words evolves over time. Swastica is originaly Hindu good luck charm, but defending it's use in the West with it is utter nonsense. Same with Gadsden flag. Once it was (arguebly, Founding Fathers were a bunch of rich landowners) a symbol of fighting oppression, but it has been approprieted by far right

Mentioning the capital class =/= Stalinism
