But 17-years-old inside, no? Your rhetoric is worthy of a kid with "revolution" in his starry eyes.

I never said I wished to wave a flag, nor did I say to do so was anarchism. I said that I wouldn't be offended if someone who was genuinely interested in peace and justice felt the need to do so. A simple distinction, really.
You know, during the anti-World War 1 struggle, anarchists, who then actually had a labor base and ties to common people, appeared on platforms where the flag was displayed. I've seen photos of Emma Goldman speaking next to a flag, and I dare say, her anarchist credentials are far more impressive than yours.
