So I bought a heap of cheap manufacturered soviet medals on Aliexpress, and I occasionally will let people in my org award them to each other for praiseworthy stuff. But now there's anarchists in my group and they might find that offensive. So what's the anarchist version?

I swear to God, this isn't a bit.

Semi-serious, because I would like it: The most anarchic of creatures are the cat and the various cephalopods, and thus the highest awards possible are a lil' sleepy cat pin, octopus tentacle holding a hammer, or cuddlefish.

The most anarchic of creatures are the cat

there actually is popular AnCom / syndicalist imagery around cats:

This originated with so-called wildcat strikes organized by the IWW, but nowadays is used in all kinds of agitprop about becoming ungovernable. Variations include a portrait image of a black cat hissing and so on
