The hammer and sickle should be considered a symbol of hate.
🔥🏛️ VIOLENT LEFT 🏛️🔥
It represents genocide and ruined life's of millions of Eastern Europeans. Organizations such as ADL never touch the hammer and sickle and rather go for Pepe the frog.

The German swastika is a symbol of hate. The Nazis killed out of hatred. The communists on the other hand killed out of love. That’s why hammers and sickles are acceptable and ubiquitous on college campuses.
That (swastika) was and is still a symbol of fertility (or creation) and spirituality in parts of Aisa. Not all parts of the world subscribe to such frameworks of symbology. Rather, they should be understood in context. Otherwise you get the PC blanket allover again which is highly counterproductive.
