What is described has no correlation with the symbols.
They actually are the symbols of the workers and do belong to the descriptions.
It’s just that many bad actors have and are trying to steal the symbols, such as the Soviet Union and China. Those have no correlation with leftism but people associate them to the symbols
Same response as a “Swastika is just a sun symbol”
A symbol can change meaning depending on history. Hammer and sickle is the symbol of oppression, suffering, dictatorship, imperialism and inequality, and it’s meaning is influenced by the actions of soviet union and china.
I didn’t say against that. The fascist powers have made their mark on the symbols that is true. As I said, it is what people associate.
Do swastikas, hammers, stars etc. have positive meanings originally? Yes
Have fascist dictatorships ussd those symbols with horrible atrocities in the past and even today? Yes
Do people generally associate the latter? Yes
I’m usually brigaded by fascist-minded and reactionary accounts
Not allowed to call out dictatorships
While I’m here:
- Nazis can fuck off.
- Commies can also fuck off.
- Fuck capitalism
- Cooperativism is the way.
I’ve experienced communism first-hand. I don’t need some rando’s with marx pp opinion on it, nor do I need to “do my own research”.
I stand by what I said.
You’re not the only one who’s experienced communism, and not everybody who experienced communism is a capitalist scumbag.
WTF is this? People finding their way from lemmingrad here?
Comes to a place literally built by communists to tell communists to fuck off. You are a normal clown, and we’ve dealt with your kind before.
Ah yea, using the sickle and hammer to get your point across.
Delusional.
