i find the impact that symbolism has on most people interesting. for example we all know what an impact the Swastika has. but what about the Sickle & Hammer ? it is the opinion of many that soviet communism has killed just as many innocents if not more than the Nazi's. so why does a Sickle & Hammer seem more socially acceptable than a Swastika ? they even look very similar.
how does this symbol make you feel ?

Makes me think of how badly communism went in Soviet Russia. Also makes me think of all the people here in North America being all "communism is so great bru, we'd be so much better with communism instead of capitalism"
Then I think how stupid those people are; Sure capitalism might not be the best thing there is, but it's certainly the best we have, and better then anything that's been tried in the past.
As far as I'm concerned, communism is a joke. It's a good idea on paper, but in practice it's fucking terrible. Capitalism is good on paper, not the best in practice. But I'd take a capitalistic society over a communist society any day of the fucking week.
