    Which begs the question, why fly the Hammer and Sickle at all?

    Politics is a game and if you want to win elections you should learn to play it.

    Nixon hid his anti-Black agenda behind phrases like ‘safe streets’ and ‘the War on Drugs.’

    Do you want to win elections or do you want to lose but be able to boast about how pure your intentions were?

      Communists don’t want to win elections, they want a proletarian dictatorship, one that completely subjugates the bourgeois class, which you cannot do from within the bourgeois class’s state.

      The hammer and sickle is what guarantees that optics will not come before that goal. No AOC will fly your flag to convince people to vote for Kamala Harris.
