Okay, cool. I’ll continue to organize with groups that uphold existing socialism, rather than throw it under the bus for an easy rhetorical strategy that has always backfired by legitimizing anti-communist narratives.
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.
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.
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.

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.
