It was a banger when it dropped but nobody knows what the gently caress a sickle even is anymore and you can't really put modern farming equipment on a flag. i always liked the CPUSA's giant gear

Hard hat is what I was thinking too, it's hard for me to envision a flag with a name tag on it that works well but I think I'm not a great vexillologist. It'd be good to have something that encompasses workers everywhere, but I don't know if it's possible to do that with only two symbols in the current state of neoliberal laborer jobs. The giant gear of the CPUSA isn't necessarily bad, but I feel like it has too many other associations with unrelated concepts to labour and kinda represents automation to me in a sense. I don't feel like most workers see a lot of gears in their daily life at work or elsewhere anymore. I can't think of anything else to represent retail workers though, and I think that "hard hat people and name tag people" are a good and very large portion of the working class that could work as a unifying symbol. I'm not into roses or stars or anything, any rear end in a top hat can put a star on their flag, that article points out that the swastika had literally nothing to do with the Nazi ideology or government at all and I think that's something good to keep in mind. Hell, the most destructive country in all of human history has 50 friggin stars on it and they don't mean poo poo.

i think the communist flag should remain a hammer and sickle personally. if it only has an audience in the developing world where there’s still an industrial proletariat and an embattled peasantry, well, so be it. JDPON time

No that's terrible, Mao would call that dogmatism and remind us that Marxist ideology must be adaptable to current circumstances. The things that worked a hundred years ago have to change or they will fail and die. The revolution must be able to work everywhere, including the Imperial core, or it will be crushed by the forces of imperialist capitalism from the safety of their enclaves surrounded by workers too ignorant to organise and understand the need for struggle and unity in the first place. The hammer and sickle can never mean anything to the workers in the Imperial core unless you can convince all of them to reada bunch of history and emulate people who've been dead for decades. You have to appeal to material circumstances or you'll never make headway. Mafic Rhyolite has issued a correction as of 03:48 on Jan 24, 2022 |

SorePotato posted:The raised fist is the best option if you were to update it for Americans I guess I fear that even the raised fist has too much historical context required to really understand it. We live in a time where the forces of capital have an iron grip on what is taught to us in school and the average person graduates with an understanding of history so poor that it would be better that they were taught nothing at all. A raised fist has nothing specifically to do with labor and rather symbolises solidarity, which is obviously good, but the bourgeoisie and their liberal cronies in the many media apparatuses they control can have solidarity with each other just as easily, and can easily co-opt a symbol like that.

The hi-vis vests seemed to be decent symbolism, I don't know about making a flag out of it.

The vests work in France as a symbol of people who drive cars rather than specifically of labor because everyone who drives a vehicle in France is legally required to have one in their car in case it breaks down. Elsewhere it kinda makes you think of people at work, but it's been pretty handily co-opted by reactionary dipshits who think the prime minister sets the gas prices by hand. Not good for a flag either.

I've heard some people here mention control theory and cybernetics WRT to Chinese economic management. Are there any good resources to learning how these kind of techniques are used in contemporary China, and how they relate to Marxist theory?

it's pretty simple, you just get an all red flag. then when everyone has a red flag, then you can add your own twist to it.

I would like to respectfully offer the following point of view: symbols matter less than what one does representing the thoughts they symbolize. Like how the us flag itself became more important than the idea of the freedom it supposedly allows (including the ability to disrespect it). Values spoken vs values acted. That kind of basic integrity poo poo.
