Description The symbol composed of the capital letter A surrounded by a circle is universally recognized as a symbol of anarchism and has been established in global youth culture since the 1970s. Cindy Milstein writes that the A represents the Greek anarkhia (‘without ruler/authority’), and the circle can be read as the letter O, standing for order or organization, a reference to Pierre-Joseph Proudhon’s definition of anarchism from his 1840 book What Is Property?: “as man seeks justice in equality, so society seeks order in anarchy”. In the 1970s, anarcho-punk and punk rock bands such as Crass began using the circle-A symbol in red, thereby introducing it to non-anarchists. Crass founder Penny Rimbaud would later say that the band probably first saw the symbol while traveling through France. SOURCE: Wikipedia Calling all music lovers and fashion enthusiasts.
