    No? Communism is a movement towards abolishing class society, via collectivizing production and distribution. Fascism is a violent reaction to capitalist decay, employed to retain bourgeois property ownership and break up labor organizing. They are diametric opposites, which is why they have historically bitterly hated each other.

        The hammer and sickle is the sign of the communist movement. I assume you mean to insinuate that the USSR was somehow fascist, but I must be misunderstanding you, nobody would be that ridiculously wrong on the internet. The USSR saved the world from fascism despite the best efforts from the capitalists in the west.

        Trying to zero in on where your head is at.

        Are you saying that any symbol that features intersecting lines is a fascist symbol or something?

        The bird has the hammer and sickle, the symbol of the joint partnership of the industrial proletariat and the agrarian peasantry, the symbol of Marxism-Leninism. The hammer and sickle was created in the RSFSR, the first socialist state in history. Using any one person as symbol for the working class movement, and not symbols of the working classes themselves, is akin to liberal Great Man Theory.
