What's the best flag?

Been focusing on script writing for AngHell Dela Blackpill and as a result, pushed it farther ahead from the drawn pages

So I dreamed up a flag of a fictional terrorist group in a future ADB arc...

Offshoot of previous baddies in a previous comic...

What is the best flag?

• A
• B
• C

Cockroach = the oppressed. The oppressed are compared to vermin before extermination.
Birds = symbol of creation, spiritual messenger, traveler in ancient Filipino tribes.
Eight of them = infinity symbol sideways. Also in reference to 8 provinces that first gained independence from Spain. Liberty.
Circle formation = the wheel of karma.

Ideology is a hybrid of communism and eastern, western religions. Rid the world of inequality, oppression. That's the path to global enlightenment / salvation. And it will be done by force. Armed rebellion. All the oppressed shall rise up. Violent overthrow of all governments and institutions they consider "oppressive". Anyone who opposes them is an "oppressor". Who needs to be killed or put into forced labor camp to atone for their sin of oppressing others.

Somehow they all read as expies to me: A is Nazi, B is Spain or Kyrgyzstan and C is ISIS.

Vexillogically speaking, B makes the most sense since it uses the communist colors - but it doesn't read that way since it's in the center. If the Roach and birds were in the corner it would probably read closer to USSR or CCP which I think is your intent there.

Of these three I choose the ISIS flag because the Nazi flag is overdone and I don't have anything against Spain or Kyrgyzstan.

What if you made the jihadi birds larger so that they also look kinda like chrysanthemum flower petals, another eternity symbol?

I agree with what @jwabeasley said here, A= Nazis, so if this terrorist group is also fascistic, then go with that one. B= isis, so if the terrace group is more anarchist. B= just a country flag, I wouldn't recommend using this one for a terrorist group, an aggressive country or micro nation, perhaps, but that doesn't seem like what you are going for.

Lol I wasn't thinking Spain or Kyrgyzstan. More like NPA (communist insurgency in Philippines)

Appreciate the feedback though.

Ha, I don't think I've seen the KPA's flag before. I suppose some of that mismatch is to be expected when communicating internationally.
