Historically, and most generally, the red flag is an international symbol for the "blood of angry workers." Although itself much older than socialism, the flag has mainly been a socialist and communist emblem associated in particular with those ideologies' revolutionary left and Radical Left sections.
A plain red flag has often been raised or carried by socialists, left-wing radicals, and communist groups. Such groups have used both plain red flags and red flags superimposed with the names or emblems of their parties, or social movements. Red flags are often seen at protests, demonstrations and left-wing rallies such as May Day.
The red flag is most strongly associated in public consciousness with communism. It forms the backdrop to the flag of the People's Republic of China and the flag of the Soviet Union. Also, "waving a red flag" is a euphemism for incitement (see bullfighting), and red is the "colour of defiance."
