WASHINGTON—Red flags with the communist symbol hammer and sickle flew side by side with Gadsden “DON'T TREAD ON ME” flags at the Lincoln Memorial on Sunday afternoon. Self-proclaimed socialists stood in common cause with anarchists at the “Rage Against the War Machine” rally, a peace protest organized by the People’s Party—a progressive third party led by disaffected Bernie Sanders supporters—in cooperation with the Libertarian Party.
Despite their radically different economic and political views, the parties—along with many conservatives, moderates, and independents—came together to voice support for what they view as the most important issue of the day: finding a peaceful solution to the war in Ukraine.
