Why leftists shouldn't use the hammer & sickle (a russian's perspective) | Anya Turnbull

It's a bit bizarre that if you have a hammer and sickle on your shirt it's a kind of edgy cool, but if you had a swastika on your shirt you risk being fired/cancelled/arrested
Don't you think that depends where you go? In some parts of the world you'd probaly be killed for it
This is fair, I wonder if in former Soviet spaces the roles are reversed
ML tend to kill themselves. Nazis and fascists tend to kill everyone. Other than that they are both violent and suppressive authoritarian regimes. I think the killing everyone part though is why Nazis are generally less accepted.
