ORIGINAL: luckydawg uh moon, the hammer and sickle is the USSR symbol. Not marx's symbol. I am not aware that Marx had a logo. It was a Marxist symbol which the USSR adopted as their flag, because they were claiming to be Communists. Plenty of other people have used it. (From somebody who's been bitching about research and misinformation, that's utterly pathetic.) quote:
You are going off into perfect land.... have fun. so no marxists ever existed because they are not perfect...your just being stupid. Have fun with that. Plenty of Marxists have existed. None are running Syria or Libya though, I'm afraid. quote:
I took the facist symbol to refer to facism. It's a specifically Nazi symbol. The fascist symbol (googles fasces) is completely different. quote:
so I guess since to you the symbols have no relevance at all, you would find no state has them as characteristics. The swastika has a very specific historical significance, as a matter of fact. But good luck finding a middle eastern state full of semitic nazis. quote:
In the real world the symbols mean Socialist, Fascist, Hippie and Islamic. No, they mean Marxist/Communist, Nazi, CND and Islamic. (I haven't even mentioned the trouble you'll have finding an islamic state in favour of nuclear disarmament at the moment...) quote:
Given those meanings there are certainly Fascist and Socialist Islamic states. So why can't you cite any? quote:
If you wish to insist the Symbols have no meaning, then I guess you are right. In fact, the symbols have very specific historical meanings, which you're choosing to ignore. Which is why I took issue with the bullshit you were spouting in the first place.
