    Same response as a “Swastika is just a sun symbol”

    A symbol can change meaning depending on history. Hammer and sickle is the symbol of oppression, suffering, dictatorship, imperialism and inequality, and it’s meaning is influenced by the actions of soviet union and china.

      I didn’t say against that. The fascist powers have made their mark on the symbols that is true. As I said, it is what people associate.

      Do swastikas, hammers, stars etc. have positive meanings originally? Yes

      Have fascist dictatorships ussd those symbols with horrible atrocities in the past and even today? Yes

      Do people generally associate the latter? Yes
