American Communist Tricolor

[VukBZ2005]

Here - what do you think?

[Pawn Power]

Yes, the wrench, much more common tool today then the sickel.

[Counter-Corporate Jujitsu]

A keyboard and a hammer would work better. With a computer screen background.

And the Tricolour looks too much like Germany's flag.

[VukBZ2005]

Well - i was kind of aming for that - i think it's cool personally - here's another one, if you don't favor the current version -

[Guest1]

oooh, I like that one.

I love orange.

[Misodoctakleidist]

What do the colours symbolise?

[VukBZ2005]

Red - The Revolutionary Communist Struggle in America

White - The Victory of the Working Class and it's emancipitation

Orange - The will to build a new Communist Society

[MiniOswald]

hmm u sure the hammer and the wrench are good choices?
why not have to things that symbolise different things?
like the H&S was agriculture and industry working together.
Why not a hammer and pesticide/combine harvester? something like that

[VukBZ2005]

The Wrench and hammer symbolize the Unification of all parts of the Proletariat.

[Counter-Corporate Jujitsu]

Add a lightbulb for the electricians and the intellectuals. :lol:

reckon it should be a hand and a brain :)

"The people's flag is deepest red"

I say we stick with the red flag for every where.

If I were to propose a new symbol for the communist cause, I would use the "hammer and wheat stalk" as used by Hungary under Mátyás Rákosi:

This coat of arms was placed in the middle of the traditional red-white-green Hungarian flag.

"The people's flag is deepest red"

It shrouded oft our martyred dead,
And ere their limbs grew stiff and cold,
Their hearts blood dyed its every fold.

[Ian]

Raise the scarlet standard high, within its shade we'll live and die

[BOZG]

Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer,
We'll keep the red flag flying here

[CubanFox]

It suits today the meek and base,
Whose minds are fixed on pelf and place;
To cringe beneath the rich man's frown,
And haul that sacred emblem down.

The red I agree with. The White is strange shouldn't be blue to represent the blue-collar working classes? White seems to go against that. Orange clearly means new communist society however no one can dare dispute that, lol :lol: .

Marxist Rebel got the answer correct to the flag I had attached to this post originally.

I could had displayed the official flag of the USSR but that would had been too obvious.

[Forward Union]

Wow thats the viet cong flag, :D looks like you've been beaten to it ;)

[Archpremier]

It'd be nice to see a flag with the CPUSA's hammer/sickle/cog-wheel on it. I really like that emblem. It captures America pretty well, I think.

[BOZG]

I think we need a good sing song while we're making flags...

Avanti o popollo, alla riscossa

Im a strong believer that in order to be taken seriously a change in appearance needs to be taken. Red is so closely linked to Stalin and the harsh eras of the cold war that its cast out as evil commie rubbish.

I disagree. Red is the color of every ones blood reguardless of nation, and it has been the color of the struggle since a very long time ago. I think it is weak to change our flag because of what some people have done while flying it. The flag was red before Stalin and before the cold war, and I think it should stay that way.

[antieverything]

I think the hammer and wrench looks a bit too much like a swatstika...and with the red white and black? SCARY!

Red is the most symbolic colour of the working class and socialism, you cannot possibly change it.

[V.I.Lenin]

Comrades,since 1848 red has been the color of socialism and has been,for countless generations the color of revolution,by this I think it unwise to introduce other colors into socialist symbolism - Red,and only red is and will ever remain the color,it was the color of our comrades in preceding epochs and it must hold for us equal validity as it did for them.

Throw your words and images upon the banner,only this,let that banner be red.

Here's my contribution for a new flag... a fresh start in fact. A flag that we can all be proud of and WORSHIP.

Whose minds are fixed on pelf and place;
To cringe beneath the rich man's frown,
And haul that sacred emblem down.
With heads uncovered swear we all
To bear it onward till we fall;
Come dungeons dark or gallows grim,
This song shall be our parting hymn.
