Re: More flags for the database

Hello!

Thank you for flags (and for an introduction to Spanish history :-)))
I added your flags to website - named the 3 generic political ones
as 'movements' - I think it is most proper, as these are more 
generic than parties.

Keep up the good work!

Best wishes,
Lauris Kaplinski

> spain_galiza.* --- Nationalist flag of Galiza (Galicia), Spain.
> spain.republic.* --- Republic of Spain (historical).

> The nationalist flag of Galiza (also called Galicia) is used nowadays. Galiza is a small country in the northwest of Spain, with a history, culture and language of its own, and which has been occupied since the sixteenth century by Spain. The situation is not very different from that of Great Britain and North Ireland -- but here the difference is cultural and political, not religious. This flag is both a banner for the nationalist identity of the people of Galiza, and for the united left of that nation, for those who fight for galizan identity usually also support different brands of socialism.
> 
> The flag of the Republic of Spain is that of before 1936, when a sector of the army started a civil war against the Republic. After the fascists won the war, the cloth was changed from the three colours (red, yellow and violet) to only red and yellow (in three stripes), and it remains that way now -- even if the dictatorship has ended and Spain is supposed to be a democracy once more.
> 
> The Anarcommunist flag gathers both the ideals of anarchism and communism, as Shelley and Kropotkin, Goldman and Goodman depicted it. It was a very strong brand of anarchism in Spain before and during the war, and a good deal of resistance against the fascist invassion came from them. Nowadays, the major anarchist sindicate, CNT, bears this flag, and it is recognized worlwide as one of the flags of anarchism.
> 
> The Anarchist flag is just one of the many possible and known. Given the nature of anarchism ("I shall carry no flag, nor country or frontiers, nor laws to live"), it is at least bold to try and assignate the movement a single symbol. Still, this is probably the most frequent one.
> 
> The Socialist flag, as it was originally, is just plain red. No hammer and sickle, no stars. Just a red cloth, which is what was carried during the Paris Commune of 1870, the first socialist revolution.
> 
> Gatonegro.
