Thanks for the response without calling me a racist plantation worshiper. That makes a lot of sense and I didn't mean to offend anyone, I just know that a lot of people would love socialist policies but that symbolism is linked to something else entirely, I know it's stupid, it's not me personally, and it was just a thought to try to further expand socialism's reach by bringing it into the 21st century. Be well.
One thing I don't really understand is what you mean by the hammer and sickle representing "something else entirely," or that you're "bringing it into thr 21st century." The hammer and sickle is used by communist parties around the world that are presently in power and building socialism, such as the CPC in the PRC. The h&s is linked to socialism and socialist movements both past and present, that's why orgs use it as identification with that internationalist movement in the present day.
