Manliftingbanner is a Dutch, communist hardcore punk band. They are best known for their merging of the straight edge lifestyle and radical politics, particularly communism, anti-racism, gay rights, and the DIY ethic.[1][2] The band has been referred to as the first communist-straight edge band.[3] It was originally named Profound.[1] Due to the pretentious nature of their name, it was changed to Manliftingbanner after a Communist propaganda poster.[2]

Dennis Lyxzén: [...] it wasn't till I found out about Born Against and most importantly ManLiftingBanner that I really became more political myself. Especially ManLiftingBanner was a big influence to Refused, most people don't seem to know that. But to hear of a European straight edge band with communist ideas, that was so inspiring to us. That really fuelled me and the other guys to do a band as well.

Rob Franssen: ManLiftingBanner was just a band that was always about being critical, [they're] very leftist politically. It was just struck a chord with me because it was exactly what I was thinking about a couple of things. It was always just a band for me that said a lot of the things that I could identify with, musically as well as lyrically
