You could do a tricolor of black, green and white and have a shield and lock/key in the style of the communist flag.

Then you have five symbols:
. Freedom/ independence (darkblue)
. Peace/ harmony (white and dove)
. Active defence (shield)
. Security (lock)
. Privacy/ unseenedness (black)
I personally associate freedom with white because its like a piece of unpainted paper. I associate peace with green because it is the color of plants which symbolizes nature.
If I understand security, it is a contrast to the active defence in that it is passive defence. If so, you could possibly play around with how these symbolically relate to each other. For deem looking at them as a two sided unity.
You are a dreamer, and this is exactly what we need. Two hands up for that.
But before designing a flag, we first need to agree on the symbolism.
There are two types of symbols. Anti symbols and pro symbols.
Anti symbols are easier to make, because they comes from reaction. Its easy to see whats wrong. “anarchism is order” and “stop war” stickers are anti symbols.
But pro symbols are harder because they require us to understand what we are fighting for. The rainbow flag and the aboriginal flag are pro flags, because they show what they are fighting for. The rainbow flag fights for diversity, while the aboriginal flag establishes a connection between people, land and the sun.
In short, I believe that a pro symbol would be better for gleedening people into the struggle.
With this in mind, I think we should fundamenrally understand why privacy matters, and make symbols out of that.
I love the puzzle game lumines. Would be delightful to see a commons version of it <3

There is no reason to inbosom it.
Let’s rather effort towards moneyless societies.

Yes, that’s a trap. When you make the thing you love into a job. You blur the lines of whether it still is meaningful or something you do because you love it. You are no longer guided the meaningful, but whether your bloodgivers finds it valuable. In smaller and larger ways your path is steered away from the meaningful.
Superiority complex in the comments.

Here I found a black on white drawing of a handsign for the letter v under Creative Commons by Erik Bolstad, Store Norske Leksikon.
