	Hammer and sickle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The two tools are symbols of the industrial proletariat and the peasantry respectively; placing them together symbolises the unity between agricultural and industrial workers.
		Those Communist Parties affiliated to the Comintern and the Cominform (that is those who looked to Moscow) and also those who looked to Beijing for guiding leadership tended to employ the use of the hammer and sickle or similar designs in their symbology.
		The Communist Party of Guadeloupe uses a letter "G" in the style of a hammer and sickle on its flag [1].

		Eurocommunism Eurocommunism was an attempt in the 1970s by various European communist parties to widen their appeal by embracing middle-class themes, rejecting unquestioning support of the Soviet Union, and express more clearly their fidelity to democratic institutions.
		It was precisely those Communist parties most strongly entrenched in their respective societies – notably the Italian Communist Party and the French Communist Party – that were most likely to adopt a Eurocommunist line, while smaller and more...

	Symbolism.Org: Battle of Symbols: From Planes To Mail
		In October the symbolism of the grand spectacle of commercial airliners crashing into buildings moved to the realm of the microscopic with the first reported death from the anthrax virus in Florida.
		The enemy was utilizing a dual headed assault of symbols combining macroscopic spectacular visual images on September 11th with microscopic, invisible images in the October anthrax attacks.
		The symbolism of anthrax shows the enemy (whoever the heck this really is … but who cares?) knows how to enlist the modern American phobia about virus, a symbol much more powerful to Americans than crashing airplanes, even if they do crash into America’s greatest building on the 90th floor.

		Indeed, the post-election discovery that the newly-elected Socialist prime minister was a counterintelligence agent under the communist regime (and the similar revelations about other public figures, across the political spectrum, that soon followed) only underlined the ongoing relevance of these questions of historical narration and personal and national responsibility.
		This resurgence in the popularity of the BSP may not be surprising given the abysmal economic situation in Bulgaria and the drastic erosion in the social safety net that once kept ordinary Bulgarians from falling into poverty.
		What is surprising is a concomitant resurgence in overt manifestations of communist nostalgia that have begun appearing in the early years of the 21st century.

	Rezension: Stacul on Kertzer, Politics and symbols
		The main issue was the necessity to maintain Communist identity while at the same time Communist symbolism was not as powerful as during the Cold War, especially after the collapse of the Berlin Wall.
		Central to its argument is the assumption that the creation of a new Communist identity entailed a battle over the past, and the idea that in the history of the PCI the boundary between political history and political myth was far from clear.
		In stressing the potential of symbols and their capacity to create a personal identity the author challenges rational action: his argument is grounded on the idea that if symbols are manipulated by power brokers, then political decisions are not necessarily made through a rational process, and emotions may play a central role too.

	Ukraine and Croatia: Problems of Post-communist Societies
		On the other hand, it is argued that the administrative structure in several countries in the region is still built on the power of the old nomenklatura, and that the Communist elites have profited from the political reforms after the breakdown of Communism, transforming themselves into what can be called a new 'mafiocracy' or 'kleptocracy'.
		The resulting system of 'neo-totalitarianism', which the authors trace back to persisting power dynamics of a dominating state and authoritarian attitudes among the population, is the cause of the weakness of civil society and serious deficiencies in the development of democracy.
		On the basis of their analysis the contributors propose concrete policies to overcome 'neo-totalitarian' trends in the Ukraine and Croatia and to strengthen democratic institutions, a legal system based on civil liberties and a free, pluralist and tolerant political culture.

	National Review: Satanic force v. evil empire - communism v.national socialism
		But the adoption of Communist symbolism not only fails to horrify liberals; it actually enlists their sympathies.
		To them the symbols of Communism, even after 68 years of tyranny, terror, aggression, and mass murder, signify good intentions--nothing to "speak out" against.
		The Times editorial speaks of the need to sustain "the memory of evil." Yet it treats the Soviet Union, Hitler's partner in launching the war, solely as hitler's victim; its postwar monstrosities were only "vengeance." Some "memory of evil." But then the Times often had a had time remembering what the Soviets are doing today.

		On a rostrum above Mao's portrait is where successive Communist leaders of China have stood to review waves of high-stepping troops and untold numbers of tanks and missile launchers, while up to a million onlookers cheer their nation's armed might and a day off work.
		When I finally reach Mao's side of the square, I look around at all the Chinese tourists milling about, who for the most part seem to be engaged in looking around at all the other Chinese tourists.
		Turning from the school-bus-size portrait of Mao, I spy, far away at the opposite end of the square near the Chairman's mausoleum, a rendering of Colonel Sanders that towers several stories high—emblazoned on the side of a building housing the largest KFC outlet in the world.

		The use of the term "nonreligious" or "secular" here refers to belief or participation in systems which are not traditionally labeled "religions." Of course, in the absence of traditional religions, society exhibits the same behavioral, social and psychological phenomena associated with religious cultures, but in association with secular, political, ethnic, commercial or other systems.
		Marxism and Maoism, for instance, had their scriptures, authority, symbolism, liturgy, clergy, prophets, proselyting, etc. Sports, art, patriotism, music, drugs, mass media and social causes have all been observed to fulfill roles similar to religion in the lives of individuals -- capturing the imagination and serving as a source of values, beliefs and social interaction.
		The current crackdown on the movement by the Communist government is likely to increase the movement's growth both within and outside of China.

		This ad-hoc commission was set up as a concession to the former rebel movement Renamo, which has been obsessed with changing the flag for the past decade.

		RENAMO objects to the inclusion of an AK47 assault rifle, communist symbolism and the predominant colours of the ruling FRELIMO party in the flag.

	Charles Hill: Follow the Flag (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Where communist flags still fly, communism still holds sway, most notably in the People’s Republic of China, with its symbol of the party (big star) shining over the politically approved “classes” (peasants, workers, petite bourgeoisie, and patriotic capitalists, so-called).
		Similarly, as long as North Korea and Vietnam retain their communist banners, the party hierarchy will run the show and freedom will be suppressed, no matter how much foreign capital is invested there.
		Planting this fresh and vivid symbol comes close to formalizing Iran as a frontline state in the war to destroy Israel, a role that neither Lebanon nor Syria is capable of dislodging.

		Conservatives and communists have always been two sides of the same counterfeit coin: to disagree with either is to be an enemy of the state who must be punished.

	Albert Camus [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		After his disillusionment with and eventual expulsion from the Communist Party, he reorganized his dramatic company and renamed it the Théâtre de l’Equipe (literally the Theater of the Team).
		Formerly an attorney, he is now a self-described “judge-penitent” (a combination sinner, tempter, prosecutor, and father-confessor), who shows up each night at his local haunt, a sailor’s bar near Amsterdam’s red light district, where, somewhat in the manner of Coleridge’s Ancient Mariner, he recounts his story to whoever will hear it.
		Christian images, symbols, and allusions abound in all his work (probably more so than in the writing of any other avowed atheist in modern literature), and Christian themes — judgment, forgiveness, despair, sacrifice, passion, etc. — permeate the novels.

		While the Moldovan national liberation movement under perestroika proceeded under the banners of anti-communism, the Dniester authorities have stuck to a planned economy, some Communist symbolism, and in general to the Soviet way of life.
		The weak performance of the Dniester economy and drastically falling living standards had undercut much support for the regime, which was being challenged both by hardline communists on the left and by Russian nationalists on the right.

		For purposes of standing apart - symbolically and ideologically - from the larger Communist Party’s hard-line socialism, the French Socialists placed a red rose into the clenched fist.
		If you take an even closer look at what the rose symbolizes on the basis of a universal kind of interpretation, it soon becomes quite clear that above and beyond any other association it might possess, the rose is perceived as a symbol of love.
		In Christian symbolism, the rose is symbolic of the crucified person’s blood and, as such, a symbol of heavenly love.
