Awesome! I particularly like the coffee, beer, and hammer-and-sickle cigarettes icon. However, I'm wondering how this might affect the production of ATC? Nevertheless, this sounds like a good development (hopefully I'll contribute at some point.)

Therefore, the people who founded Solidarity bent the stick pretty far in the opposite direction, to the point that we don't really have "unity in action". If people don't agree on a political question or an orientation, it's a bit like herding cats to get Solidarity members to act in common.

The non-vanguardist socialist left tends to have this problem in general, and is really the main problem I have with it. Something I've oft heard from outsiders commenting on Solidarity (and the SP-USA too) is that the whole is less than the sum of its parts. This type of "reverse synergy" can be a problem.

Relatedly, someone on an SP list sometimes started his e-mails with "Comrades, slackers, and cats to be herded!"
