EDIT The circled A as an anarchist symbol Many think that it started in the 1970s punk movement, but it goes back to a much earlier period. On November 25 1956, at its foundation in Brussels, the Alliance Ouvrière Anarchiste (AOA) adopted this symbol. Going even further, a BBC documentary on the Spanish Civil War shows an anarchist militia member with a »circle-A« clearly on the back of his helmet.
