Talk:List of ideological symbols

US Colours?

Where in the world did US television networks get the associations:

• red = conservatism and the US Republican Party
• blue = liberalism and the US Democratic Party

Everybody, the world 'round knows that red means revolution. Is the party of George W. Bush leading a revolution - "A New World Order"? --TGC55 15:21, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Apparently they used to alternate for each presidential cycle, but the colors got frozen in 2000 because of the "red state, blue state" meme. —Tamfang (talk) 05:02, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

dead links removed

I've removed these two links:

* [http://www.eci.gov.in/ElectoralLaws/ Electoral Laws (India)] * [http://www.eci.gov.in/ElectoralLaws/Others/Election_Symbol_Notification_2004.pdf Election Symbol Notification 2004 (India)], in [[Portable Document Format|PDF format]]

because they aren't working at present. If anyone can find the current correct links, feel free to amend and replace. PamD 11:41, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Directions versus Directions

Does anyone else understand this "X versus Y versus Z" jazz? —Tamfang (talk) 05:00, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Left/Right Direction

Why are Nazism and Fascism placed on the "far-right" when they both have their roots in national socialism (German abbreviation for National Socialist=Nazi), which is on the left? Jvarkias (talk) 18:01, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Requested move 21 July 2018

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: moved as requested after no objections in 2.5 weeks. I have some qualms about how this may alter the scope of the article, but let's try it for now; please initiate a new move discussion if you would like to change the title of the page again.

List of political party symbols → List of ideological symbols – Many symbols listed in the article are ideological in nature rather than political, such as anti-communism or fascism (as well as most of the symbols listed as "worldwide"). Some don't even fall under political or ideological, such as race-based color symbolism, and these should be removed. Nanophosis (talk) 22:38, 21 July 2018 (UTC)--Relisting.

Fleur de lis

My history professor said that there are still a few royalists around in France and that they use the fleur-de-lis (associated with the Orléans branch back in the day, I think) (as cuff links or lapel pins, I think) to declare their royalism, someone smarter than me might be able to source that and include it on this page 97.120.14.44 (talk) 06:19, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
