[edit] Communism = negative?

Red can symbolise communism, that's negative. Isn't that kind of subjective? --81.228.130.72 18:15, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

I don't think so. Communism IS VERY BAD. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 201.141.137.149 (talk • contribs) .

Communism is just a concept, only humans can use it for 'good' or for 'evil'. --Quiddity 02:38, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

This whole article is badly POV, and needs to be overhauled. --Quiddity 02:38, 27 September 2006 (UTC) ---

I agree. This article lacks the proper neutral tone. Needs Overhaul. -Morellen 01:03, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

look the ideas are good just remove the good and bad lines and mix all the concpets into one bigg line and let people pick for themselves wether something is good or bad.

What exactly are the basis for assigning given meanings to specific colours? Is it based on some folklore or sourced from behavioural observations produced by research? user:mrg3105 2:23 17 November 2006

[edit] Anachronism?

Is it meant to say anachronism for grey and brown or anarchism? Anarchism would make more sense to me.

The concept of anarchism should not be viewed as inherently negative. Morellen 00:58, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Old-timey photos are gray or brown (sepia). And they seem pretty anachronistic. Gccwang 05:00, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
