in the 1979 novel "alongside night", an organization called the revolutionary agorist cadre, seeking a second american revolution, welcomes visitors to one of its undergrounds: "the room's only decoration was a modified gadsden flag draped on the wall adjoining the bar and medical areas (opposite the door), a golden field with 'laissez-faire!' in an upper left corner, a coiled rattlesnake facing left with its tongue out, and in the lower right, 'dont tread on me!'" the gadsden flag without the addition of "laissez-faire!" is carried over into the 2014 "alongside night" movie adaptation in which the gadsden flag is used by the revolutionary agorist cadre as well as the traditional anarchist black flag.
