Topic	Communist symbols as offensive as Nazi symbols?
mooreandrew58 11/08/18 1:06:19 AM #30:	BlackScythe0 posted... Oops_All_Berrys posted... Communist Nations killed way more people than the Nazis, shouldn't those symbols be technically more offensive? More offensive? Not exactly. Nazi symbology exclusively symbolizes genocide and white supremacy. Communist symbols are more unclear. They are offensive symbols, especially to people who escaped from communism. But they aren't specific symbols of hate. An example of a difference here (from an american perspective) is someone with communist symbols is probably a dumb kid in high school in a rebellious phase using something offensive to get attention. Someone wearing swastikas goes into a black church and starts shooting. Plenty of highschool kids vandalized shit with swastikas just to be edgy. Teens do dumb shit I wouldn't use them for your example. Me personally I rocked the anarchy logo and drew it alot as a teen. Now that I'm grown and matured some I realize the most likely scenario anarchy would lead to would be shitty and a horrible life. (Though one I'd still rather take then live under a truly oppressive government) --- Cid- "looks like that overgrown lobster just got served!"
