Should the red fist not be mentioned here? It's a pretty common symbol among contemporary communist and socialist movements.  Sam 89.242.167.25 12:37, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Needs work 

message: User: Political Dweeb here wants to ask a question on how the socialist, social democratic, democratic socialist, communist, left communist, eurocommunist, leninist, Marxist and Trotskyist  political parties and movements etc view the red flag in left wing politics.
Do all the political parties and organisations etc of these left wing ideologies see the red flag as representing the blood of the "martyred working-class leaders" that was expressed in the Wikipedia article on communist symbolism? Or to them is the left wing meaning of the red flag not blood but something different  like for example change, revolution etc? 
I hope someone can help me answer this question, thanks

thread_title: A question of political position

message: The Article says:
"The hammer and sickle is another symbol of the communist movement."
But the H&S is the first symbol it lists. I think it should say:

thread_title:  Use of 'another' for first listed item 

message: Just read on the article about Italian fascism that a motto of Fascism in Italy was Libro e moschetto - fascista perfetto, "The book and the musket - make the perfect Fascist."
Now perhaps is a coincidence, but the Mozambique flag has an Open Book and an AK-47 rifle in it. Communist or Fascism symbolism? --Pinnecco (talk) 22:00, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: From what I know, fascism is generally considered to be reactionary, not revolutionary, in line with its tendency to glorify the past (The Holy Roman Empire in Nazi Germany, the Roman Empire in fascist Italy) along with its extreme nationalism. However, the issue at hand is not whether both communism and fascism are reactionary, but whether they both used the symbol of the book and gun. It's perfectly possible for it to be both a fascist and a communist symbol, so long as both sides used it. 76.28.97.246 (talk) 17:25, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Open Book and Rifle: Commnist of Fascist? 

message: Most socialist/communists movements that isn't Marxist-Leninist (or similar) don't recognize the flag of the U.S.S.R as an symbol for communism, and the red flag or as mentioned a party flag is more commonly used. Variants of just hammer and sickle upon flag however may be used but withouth the star, which characterize the soviet flag).
