[–] Aru@lemmygrad.ml 22 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Didn't even put the CPA (1936 = 1965)

or the workers' parties of Tunisia/Algeria (Trotskyists)

[–] bazingabrain@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago

I just love DDR's #27 symbol to death. I call it the "communist nerd symbol." I also really like the Angola flag one as it is closer to the tools that would be used on the other side of the Atlantic in Brazil, rather than a sickle. We could easily appropriate it.

I really like the gear/sprocket variants. Also, replacing the sickle with wheat makes more sense - sickles are artisanal these days.

[–] MinekPo1@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I prefer gear/sprocket tbh as they are simpler , which makes them good on flags . Though I dont like what the Communist Party of Canada has going for it , to much detail imho

Angola and Mozambique are probably my favorites. Can't think of better symbolism, for the struggle it must have taken them to drive the Portuguese out of their countries.

[–] Ocommie63@lemmygrad.ml 18 points 2 years ago

🇦🇴’s symbol on their flag is the coolest

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 17 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

1dt place Korea, 2nd place Angola

party wise, none, it is an ideia that goes around on how the flag of future Democratic Republic of Brazil should be

[–] redtea@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 2 years ago

It's a good design

[–] Maoo@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago

You know it's gotta be Angola

[–] angrytoadnoises@lemmygrad.ml 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is just a design some guy online made up, but I like this Aussie variant.

Mozambique

This will be a perfect album cover for my upcoming anti-Imperialist rap album: Guns and Hoes.

[–] Kirbywithwhip1987@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 2 years ago

USSR from 1955, DDR and Latvian

[–] oscardejarjayes@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I think 35, 45, and 53 are pretty baller. The Afghanistan one is just so clean, the Syrian one is like the classic but easier to draw, and I think the India one having crops is a neat touch.

[–] CamaradaJeronimo@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Totally agree, also the quill in the Syrian one makes it almost perfect for me. It's a classic with a twist.

[–] sevenapples@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 2 years ago

I like how the nazbol symbol combines a symbol from Germany's past with new ideas. It would be even better if the eagle held the hammer in the left hand instead of a sword. From a purely aesthetic standpoint I like this combination of old and new.

Also, Mozambique having an AK in their emblem goes hard.

0/10, no Venezuelan Communist Rooster

Workers Party is Korea #33

I like that it includes a brush. It is meant to include not just laborers and farmers but also artists and writers and such. I think that pretty cool of them.

[–] atomkarinca@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 2 years ago

here's workers party of turkey.

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago

I like all the ones with gears, something like that would work as a "modernized" symbol.

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 10 points 2 years ago

Afgan, kurdish and Canadian.

[–] Ronin_5@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 2 years ago

45, hammer, sickle, quill.

[–] redtea@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 2 years ago

96 and 114. I like the book and I like the quill.

[–] cmhickman358@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

Best: #5 Worst: #61 Honorable Mention: #74

[–] MinekPo1@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Honestly I really like the minimalism of 21. The Bulgarian Communist Party , but I also like the symmetric ones like 27. East Germany , 33. Workers Party of Korea and 35. People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan. I also like that 27. East Germany replaces the sickle with another tool , which I assume had more relevance in the society in East Germany at the time . While a lot of the examples given add other tools or add weapons , I think 27. East Germany is the only one to replace the sickle , with something with a very different shape , which I think is a good nod to progress as , usage of the sickle in farming has decreased a lot , I think .

  1. The Communist Party of Canada is also nice , but to cluttered imho

Edit: 25. Hungary replaces the sickle with a strain of grain (idk how to call it in English), which also looks nice

[–] Palacegalleryratio@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

5 or 66, good balance on both.

[–] SexbearLmao@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 2 years ago

28, but 32 is also good

[–] Elara@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 2 years ago

The 1936 - 1955 USSR one is my favorite

[–] QueerCommie@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 2 years ago

Definitely CPC

[–] anonochronomus@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

Always loved the Mozambique flag. It's interesting that the Kazakh version has a serrated sickle.

[–] cfgaussian@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 2 years ago

As far as the classic version I prefer 6 (Victory Banner) and 28 (oldschool CPC). But i am also partial to the WPK emblem (33) for its symmetry. And of course you have to appreciate the innovativeness of the DDR's version (27).
