I think about this a lot. I genuinely think this is a really important question for the future. I'm not sure if we can reclaim the hammer and sickle in the eyes of the masses but the idea it represents of the two largest labor forces joining together will forever be important.
That is a very good point actually. Most western people look at the hammer and sickle and see evil. If we changed it to something else to make people feel more represented and avoid peoples gut reaction then it would really improve things.
