It depends if they are attached to a movement. Wearing Che for fashion with John Lennon glasses certainly doesn't conjure the same image as the "proud boys".
Originally posted by ScribbleChe often has the hammer and sickle or star of the revolution with him. You are talking about two different things in the end the CCCP was about perestroika and Gorbachev... it still had that flag when the USSR died a natural death and had embraced capitalism. The Nazi Swastika was only brought down by the end of a military action and only ever has had one meaning since Nazi's adopted it.. False equivalency, one has many meanings, the other just one.

Answer the question.
LoL @pooty bringing up Captain America again because he still stupidly thinks that Steve Rogers, if he were actually real, would be on his side lol.
When someone has to bring fictional characters into the conversation that's an obvious sign that they've lost the argument.
I'm surprised pooty and other leftists haven't already claimed that illegal immigration is totally ok simply because Superman (the greatest superhero of all-time, at least imo) is an illegal alien lol.

I want to give him the chance to clarify. If he dodges it again, I have enough to know the answer anyway.
If the Nazi flag meant loads of other things too, it wouldn't stop its ultimate meaning to be a representation of a violent, authoritarian ideology. Communist symbols may have 'other meanings', but at their core, they reflect a support of communism, the single most murderous ideology in human history.
Originally posted by ScribbleNo, many are just fashion, like the brand proletariat. The Swatika in the west has just one meaning. In fact the Hammer and Sickle in 90-91 was worn as a celebration of perestroika and eventually the collapse of the CCCP.

And if someone's flying a communist flag in their garden, you can sure as hell bet that it ain't no fashion statement.

Pooty is so dumb that he's on record saying that there are "good kinds of communism and bad kinds of comunism" lol.
That's like saying "there are good kinds of shit sandwiches and bad kinds of shit sandwiches" lol.
