    I’m not talking about any governments.

    Like I already told you:

    The hammer and sickle (Unicode: U+262D ☭ ) is a communist symbol representing proletarian solidarity between agricultural and industrial workers.

    This sentence is the entire and only reason I used that symbol. You have zero reason to continue to ask me for “good governments using this symbol”. It is not a symbol of government. Communism is stateless, ergo no government. Just like anarchism.

    You’re trolling. Fuck off.

      Nice civility

      The swastika is thus understood to be a symbol of auspiciousness and good fortune

      Symbols can have meanings that are different than what they turn into. Hammer and sickle is almost unanimously considered to be a symbol of Stalin USSR totalitarian communism where millions perished.

        The Hindu one is, yes.

        Symbols can have meanings that are different than what they turn into.

        Not denying that.

        Hammer and sickle is almost unanimously considered to be a symbol of Stalin USSR totalitarian communism where millions perished.

        Only to people ignorant of what communism actually means.
