The hammer and sickle symbolized the biggest groups of proletarians, manual laborers and farmers. What would today's symbol be? (lemmy.ml)

I disagree. I don't think the symbol is tainted, but the core idea behind it, because of the red scare propaganda. Once people realise what the new symbol stands for, they'll dislike it just as much, if not more so because they feel 'tricked'.

We have to reform the good name of communism instead, rather than throw it out wholesale.
