Laptop and Starbucks cup 🥰🥰
A spatula and a necktie.
A computer mouse and crippling debt.
Well, I already own one of those things…
time to save up for the vibrator !
Probably just an updated hammer and sickle, really.
Protective gloves representing a lot of blue collars like industrial, mechanical, medical, and maintenance, cleaning.
Keyboard or headset (I considered outlook calendar or zoom symbols, but dont think a specific company should be immortalised here) for a lot of white collars.
I think the ACP has a neat symbol. It’s too bad the party is ass.
Edit: Before anybody gives me shit about it, it’s a conservative party.
This is the way I see it:
Primary sector: Agriculture - Sickle - Manufactures edible goods
Secondary sector: Industry - Hammer - Manufactures non-edible goods
Tertiary sector: Service - Syringe - Helps people through transporting goods, repairing goods, healing organisms and providing entertainment
Quarternary sector: Judiciary - Pen - Provides Law and Order through Government, Education, Political media and Mental support (Psychiatry & Religion)
Quinary sector: Finance - Banknote - Gambles
Sextary sector: Automation - Cogwheel - Destroys jobsToday’s symbols:
Syringe and Cogwheel.Reply if I’m missing something.
I feel like the one tool that’s used by the most workers in the Tertiary sector is the mop.
Every office in the world needs to be cleaned. And it’s part of the job for everyone in retail or food service, too.You convinced me:
I changed Pizza box to Mop and put Syringe in second place.
Engineers are overwhelmingly proletarian, and all classes produce their own intellectuals, meaning there are bourgeois scholars and proletarian scholars.
may i ask why do you consider engineers and scholars as part of the ruling class/not part of the proletariat?
I think modern labour might be too diverse to cover properly with only a few symbols. We’re no longer uniting two labour forces, material conditions have changed. I think that instead of focusing on types of labour, we might instead focus on what the movement can bring.
We could put basic human rights on a theoretical new flag. A drop represents access to water, bread represents access to food, and a roof over both.
If you want a new flag, picking something that unites is all (our needs) might be a good way to go.
It didn’t symbolise that. It symbolises the unity between the industrial proletariat and the peasantry. It’s not about different proletarian occupations; it’s about a class alliance between two working classes.
The peasantry doesn’t exist anymore in most parts of the world, but imo most people understand the hammer and sickle to symbolise communism anyway so it still works.
Can’t believe I missed that in the title, yea, peasantry aren’t proletarian but instead they are their own class.
I like the Juche symbol
I like this one, especially. The DPRK one is great as well
The GDR coat of arms or the WPK emblem are nice variations
Quills have been used in a bunch of variations. Cogwheels too
The WPK emblem is perfection.
Always thought the GDR and WPK had awesome h&s variations!
I absolutely love the WPK emblem.
The GDR’s is exactly what I would expect out of German communism. “We have the two working classes: laborers and engineers”
The same, honestly. These jobs never went away, they were just shifted out of the imperial core to the periphery.
I don’t think the scythe really represents farming in the modern era though.
Neither does the hammer for the average industrial worker, but both are symbolic.
We should replace the sickle for a combine harvester and the hammer for a CNC lathe amirite
This is why a study of art is key for any revolutionary, we can’t have our symbols looking lame
It should just be a combine harvester. The machine itself is an impressive product of ingenuity, engineering, and labour, as well as symbolising agriculture. It is also a symbol of progress and prosperity.
Better than I thought it would turn out!
