It didn’t symbolise that. It symbolises the unity between the industrial proletariat and the peasantry. It’s not about different proletarian occupations; it’s about a class alliance between two working classes.
The peasantry doesn’t exist anymore in most parts of the world, but imo most people understand the hammer and sickle to symbolise communism anyway so it still works.

Can’t believe I missed that in the title, yea, peasantry aren’t proletarian but instead they are their own class.
The GDR coat of arms or the WPK emblem are nice variations
Quills have been used in a bunch of variations. Cogwheels too

The GDR’s is exactly what I would expect out of German communism. “We have the two working classes: laborers and engineers”

The same, honestly. These jobs never went away, they were just shifted out of the imperial core to the periphery. It’s a symbol of two classes, the proletariat and the peasantry. While the peasantry has been mostly phased out, its symbol remains.

I don’t think the scythe really represents farming in the modern era though.

Neither does the hammer for the average industrial worker, but both are symbolic.

This is why a study of art is key for any revolutionary, we can’t have our symbols looking lame

It should just be a combine harvester. The machine itself is an impressive product of ingenuity, engineering, and labour, as well as symbolising agriculture. It is also a symbol of progress and prosperity.

Except not all comrades are white-collar workers.
A very large number of us, believe it or not, are blue collar.
(I’m one of them.)

Definitely just the hammer & sickle. It still very much applies.
Alternatively, though this is not strictly Communism but Socialism, I really like the common logo used for Democratic Socialism, the Fist and Rose!
I also really like the logo of the Democratic Socialists of America!

Probably just an updated hammer and sickle, really.

Like someone here in the commercial said, today the labour is to much diverse and there probably couldny be just a few symbols. I Just fucking love so much the red star, it’s very iconic but also simple. Idk thou
