    Disagree. Also pointing out it came from lemmy.ml - it’s getting tiring.

    It’s also very appropriate for the meme given it speaks to the red scare propaganda peddled in the US.

      I’m sorry you’re tired, but a lot of newer users aren’t aware.

      I don’t think it’s appropriate anywhere, aside from historical contexts. Especially next to “positive” things that have little to no relation to it.

        Sorry I didn’t see you’re an anti-communist. Your view makes perfect sense now. Thanks for the honesty!

            the symbol has nothing to do with anything on the list

            Meanwhile USSR:

            “Expresses concern for the poor” lowers inequality to the lowest levels in the region

            “Expresses concern for the treatment of marginalized groups” women suffrage for the first time in Europe, massive literacy campaigns regardless of ethnicity or gender

            “Expresses concern over the rise of fascism” defeats Nazism in Europe saving tens of millions of lives

            “Takes an interest in history and philosophy” makes education free to the highest level for everyone, including maintenance wages to university students, and promotes education among adult workers with night programs and in-factory volunteers and after-work programs

            “Wishes for a world where all are treated equally” collaborates with the decolonization of Africa, South America and Asia without engaging in colonialism
