Discordian Symbols, Anarcho-Libertarianism and Flax Notes
Discordians claim a symbolic connection to the "V" peace sign through the "Law of Fives," a central numerical concept in their philosophy. The movement's political roots are tied to 1960s anarcho-libertarianism, influenced by figures like Lysander Spooner and the eccentric Emperor Norton of San Francisco. These influences led Discordians to create their own alternative currency known as "flax notes."
