the inclusion of a molotov cocktail next to a "freedom & liberty" statement does nothing but undermine the anarchist movement by reaffirming the outdated negative conotation of violence that was used cripple the movement in the early 20th century. I like the tatt but it unfortuantely feeds the fire (pun fully intended) of conservatives that label anarchists/revolutionists/autonomists as agents of violence and destruction. On the other hand...a molotov cocktail is a useful weapon of defense against overt police aggression.
