Description
The Anarcho-Technological Union of Shackleton is a anarchist polity residing in and around Shackleton crater on the Moon's south pole.
Their flag is composed of a stereotypical 'anarchist' flag with the hoist-bisection in 'technological and lunar' grey, a black roundel hoisting a 'A' whose legs end in circuit-board (and thus technological) symbology surrounded by a grey circle, which represents Shackleton-on-the-pole, and indeed, many have noted that the whole flag looks like a stylized view of their settlement, with the near side in grey and the far side in black.
All but an engorged scientific and cultural experiment, the Anarchism there is all but 'classical' communist/socialist/anarchist. Where the details fall is left to observer and participant alike, but it's still very democratic, very 'free', and communal, though tempered by the harsh realities of living in space. Social control and development does exist along some secret manifesto, but the purges haven't started, not yet at least.
Whether or not in the end the anarchist experiment will 'succeed' without implosion is left to heavy debate. It's only been fifty odd years, after all. Some decry external influence, others seek to spread their way, and others still wish to maintain a community of scientists and technology, free from the pressing demands of profit and capitalism.
