I’m not sure what this part of your comment means then: "but not to the same degree, because they represent nations instead of a specific hateful ideology. "

I’m just trying to understand your position. You mentioned that you think it is a hate symbol because “It has been and continues to be the symbol of regimes that have oppressed and tried to destroy a number of indigenous cultures in Eastern Europe and Asia”. However that is true of symbols used by many governments, especially in the colonial era, yet you say they are “not to the same degree”.

The symbol being discussed is the hammer and sickle, representative of the working class, regardless of immutable characteristics, working together to advance their their rights, make their material conditions better, and to liberate themselves from oppression by capitalist interests. I’m trying to understand how you see it as a symbol of hate.
