Counter-Culture and Anarchy

[AGardenNoam]

I have a few topics:
1. What is the relation between the counter-culture movement and anarchy?

2. Can the US Peace flag that emerged in the counter-culture movement (http://sinisterdreams.files.wordpress.c ... ceflag.png) and anarchy co-exist? Or are the diametric?

3. And, in relation to #2, can that flag first be a stepping-stone to anarchy?

what are the true origins of the (stars and bars) flag?
hint: buckminster fuller

what is the true origin of the popular peace symbol?
hint: bertrand russell

bonus: what faction of socialism was russell associated with, and how (in)compatible is that version of socialism with anarchism?

without knowing the origin of symbols, how are we to interpret what they really mean? similarly, how are we to critique the power structure without accurately knowing what the power structure consists of?
