Esperanto flag

There was a previous thread sometime ago about this (not mine), but it's no longer up.

Why not add a Esperanto flag to the post options?

I propose the green star (verda stelo) as an addition to the flag list. The symbol is actually been rumoured to have been Trotsky's inspiration for the Red Star: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esperanto_symbols#Influence

There are a few esperantists here in Holla Forums, and a few leftists in /esperanto/.
The language has also very close connections with leftism. Several socialist organisations advocated its use as a way of communicating internationally with fellow workers in a neutral language.

Other urls found in this thread:

This is a good idea.

Because it's silly lifestylism

English is the global language already, the British empire will prevail eventually when all provincial gutter tongues are extinct :^)

Socialism is silly lifestylism.

Capitalism is the global system already, ayncapism will prevail eventually when all workers rights are extinct :^)

How do I learn Esperanto?

lernu.net
duolingo.com

are probably 2 best sites
reddit.com/r/Esperanto is good for resources, like dictionaries and stuff

This. We don't need to make up a universal language when English already is one.

duolingo is a great place to get to a decent conversational level, lernu does more in-depth stuff, and facebook groups and the subreddit are great for sharing resources


english is very difficult to learn. the grammar is highly irregular and the spelling makes no sense whatsoever

esperanto on the other hand was designed to be as easy to learn as possible - there are only 16 rules of grammar, no grammatical gender, NO irregularities, and an intuitive system for forming words from roots and affixes that means one can know what an esperanto word means even if they've never seen it before

i've studied german for five years and esperanto for nine months, i'm already better at esperanto

For some people, maybe. But if they want to learn a global language instead of whatever tribalist stuff they grew up with, they'll put the effort in either way. 2/3rds of the world already speak English, next to no one seriously speaks Esperanto.

requesting gonzalo and naxalite flags as well

This is stupid as hell. If we start speaking a weird foreign language, people will never be willing to listen to our ideas.

don't watch this webm btw

anyway, this defeatist attitude is why so many ambitious projects fail to get off the ground in the first place

saying "it will never happen" actually stops "it" from happening

it's a self-fulfilling prophecy

Go pedal your lifestylist snake-oil elsewhere.

Don't be so deluded. English is not universal, millions of people don't speak it and many who claim to, speak some dumbed down pidgin instead.

lol this board might as well change its name to /flagpol/

There's a satan flag, and Freud's cigar as options. How are any of these things related with leftism?
At least Esperanto as a long history of being used by leftist movements.

Freud was a leftist and Satanism is a revolutionary religion against reactionary Christians.

Freud was a reactionary.

Satanism is Ayan Rand with cosplay. It's as reactionary as it gets.
