A computer mouse and crippling debt.
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.
Well, I already own one of those things…

I like the Juche symbol
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
31·2 days agoThe GDR coat of arms or the WPK emblem are nice variations
Quills have been used in a bunch of variations. Cogwheels too
The WPK emblem is perfection.
I absolutely love the WPK emblem.
Always thought the GDR and WPK had awesome h&s variations!
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.
We should replace the sickle for a combine harvester and the hammer for a CNC lathe amirite
This is why a study of art is key for any revolutionary, we can’t have our symbols looking lame

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!
I think modern labour might be too diverse to cover properly with only a few symbols. We’re no longer uniting two labour forces, material conditions have changed. I think that instead of focusing on types of labour, we might instead focus on what the movement can bring.
We could put basic human rights on a theoretical new flag. A drop represents access to water, bread represents access to food, and a roof over both.
If you want a new flag, picking something that unites is all (our needs) might be a good way to go.
I like this one, especially. The DPRK one is great as well

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.)
