==Diplomatic and political flags==
{{Main|Diplomatic flag}}

Some countries use diplomatic flags, such as the United Kingdom <!--([[List of British flags#Diplomatic flags]])-->(see [[:File:British Ambassador Ensign.svg|image of the Embassy flag]]) and the Kingdom of [[Thailand]] <!--([[List of Thai flags#Diplomatic flags]])-->(see [[:File:Embassador Flag of Thailand.svg|image of the Embassy flag]]).

The [[Socialism|socialist]] movement uses [[Red flag (politics)|red flag]]s to represent their cause. The [[Anarchism|anarchist]] movement has a variety of different flags, but the primary flag associated with them is the [[Anarchist symbolism#Black flag|black flag]]. In the [[Spanish Civil War]], the anarchists used the red-and-black bisected flag. In the 20th century, the [[Rainbow flag (gay movement)|rainbow flag]] was adopted as a symbol of the [[LGBT social movements]]. Its derivatives include the [[Bisexual pride flag|Bisexual pride]] and [[Transgender pride flag]]s.

Some of these political flags have become national flags, such as the red flag of the [[Soviet Union]] and national socialist banners for [[Nazi Germany]]. The present [[Flag of Portugal]] is based on what had been the political flag of the [[Portuguese Republican Party]] previous to the [[5 October 1910 revolution]] which brought this party to power.
