    Good luck with that. You folks are so reactionary. I was a simple suggestion because that symbolism is very offputting for a great number of people, but keep trucking along.

      White people were put off by the civil rights movement. We don’t have the choice to abandon things based on popularity. Plus the symbols are cool.

      The symbolism used by communist parties around the world, both in power and not, is a symbol of working class internationalism that trancends borders. Any genuine socialist is going to be slandered and drug under the dirt anyways, abandoning the socialist movement around the world just to try to kick that can down the road just a tiny bit means throwing away allies. It’s why the TERF movement is worse for cis feminists, and why trans-inclusionary feminism gains more traction.
