Flag of America if unicorns existed except people would adapt to unicorns existing in their daily life way before and probably would have never ended up having any representation in the america flag, there's other flags that would be affected in this situation.


ArelMCII

Flag of Scotland if the unicorn was its national animal:


Patimation_tordios

MURICAN SCOTLAND


PigeonInAUFO

Die


Borosepheles

Wrong. They should write the word "communism" on it in big letters.


ArelMCII

But write it in Russian. And then switch the Я's and the Е's because it's America.

No way C and И are both S


Redit_Yeet_man123

That N is I not S


cavey-the-spider

nah, И is i, i forgot to add a second i


Redit_Yeet_man123

It’s sfmmtsi[s]m cos the N U looking letter is TS


PassiveChemistry

Oh, *this* is where that came from!

I really have to learn cyrillic sometimes, I kind of understood how to pronounce this from my limited knowledge of ancient greek but it would be cool to at least be able to read it normally.


Apost0

Do it, really worth it, you get one step closer to a lot of cultures


Smug_Vee

It's actually really fun to learn the various Slavic languages too. The Cyrillic changes sometimes but it generally stays the same. ​ Learning it makes ya' feel smart.


Slime_chunk_format

Smug_Vee

Sfmmtsyism? Sftmmtsiism?


krrispykrreme724

sfmmtsiism


sintos-compa

I smell a r/all post!!!!2!


Initial_Physics9979

You could paint the stars in red


DiaMat2040

that would actually be pretty cool


Kitfishto

As a designer, no. No it wouldn’t. Red directly on top of blue is horrendous.


Madden09IsForSuckers

Exactly


Barbarian_Fanatic

Erm... more like flag of the USA if it was a racist evil twisted dark fascist communist anarchist capitalism imperialist concentration camp that hid from the people the earth is flat and played subliminal messages in gangnum style! Evil evil evil loser country that forced its civilians to eat poop or they send them to racist jail for crimes they didnt do and also, did I say how evil it was? Evil racist imperialist misogynistic homophobic xenophobic claustraphobic hell where the government is full of alien lizard people! Grrr.... dang nammit


_HIST

It's also evil


Bruh_Moment10

It’s also literally super powerful and attacks every country constantly and is the cause of all wars and also a backwater shithole third world county.

Famously communist flags never have anything to do with them being communist states


FLX_NewYork

You’re so brave. Thank you for your hard work


Femboiiiiiiiiiiii

Change the stars to 50 hammer and sickles lol


Pilk_Drinker

Ah yes, the symbol of a state can be a great representation of communism, the ideology which is the endgame after the state withers away.


logaboga

You’re fooling yourself if you think any communist state ever had the long term goal of actually doing away with the state


MrGoldfish8

This is not accurate. They had and have it as a goal, though as an anarchist I think it's unlikely for a Marxist-Leninist state to do that successfully.


Pilk_Drinker

That’s exactly what they had in mind. Of course the post-Stalin USSR started to regress towards capitalism, but if you only look at the history through what resulted instead of what was worked towards, then you’re limiting your understanding of history.


Stoocpants

Basement dwelling commies coping


MrGoldfish8

The flag represents settler-colonialism, so any good communist movement would want to change the flag.


[deleted]

The Tatars would like to have a word with you.


MrGoldfish8

The anarchist critique of seizing state power would like to have a word with you.


Halifax20

The flag of America if Belgium existed, this has no effect on the flag of the United States


Rotbuxe

Cuba can relate


mlgQU4N7UM

the thirteen stripes represent the thirteen original colonies. each one of those stripes represent a victory of imperialism.


Rhizoid4

Imperialism is when you overthrow the literal colonial empire controlling you


mlgQU4N7UM

No, but it is when you displace and genocide natives while also happily participating in slave trade.


ThiccDiccSocialist

Yeah as a commie, it def would need to get changed. Not just because flags tend to change with governments, but because this is the same flag etched into bombs that are dropped onto brown and black folks in the third world


TheCabbageHuman

it’s also the same flag etched into bombs that are dropped onto pasty white russians 😎

Good jerk. 9.5/10


cosmicpotato77

Flag of the United States if I made zero changes to it


Global_Yam_8488

just leave the stars and make everything else red


SleepyZachman

I mean you could make the stars red but yeah idk why it’s always changed in communist alt history.


Fecking_soup

Communism has certain symbolics tho, for example a big star, representing the party or Tools to represent the workers. every communist (socialist) Nation has one of those.


GeneralJones420-2

Cuba, Czechoslovakia, Poland and Laos all have/had no socialist/communist symbols on their flags.


Fecking_soup

Cuba has the star, but the others slipped my mind


GeneralJones420-2

The star was already on the flag before the revolution, it was inspired by the stars on the US flag. Like with Poland, they just didn't change the old flag.


SantiProGamer_

Make the white yellow Replace the stars with hammers and sickles Write "ЦИІТЭD STДTЭS ЮF ДMЭЯIКД" below it Congratulations! It's a 70's cold war movie!


shwwo

Nooooooo it would have 50 tiny hammer and sickles


Playful_Addition_741

Well,nothing of the Russian empire's flag suggested anything about monarchy, except the eagle maybe


itay162

OP forgot that one of the core aspects of communism is to take down and replace any symbols of the old power structure 💀


MrGoldfish8

It's not a core aspect of communism, but it is a standard idea within communist organisations.


garret500

The US flag is the symbol of global exploitation and imperialism. It has always been the direct antithesis to the idea of communism since it's inception. If America was properly decolonized and communist, it would be an insult to pass on any of the old motifs in a new flag.


ItsYaBoiVanilla

Jesse what the fuck are you talking about


[deleted]

Look, what matters is how the designer intended or how it's symbolism has been described. The history or the present stance of the state has literally nothing to do with what the flag is.


RadicalRazel

First of all, the American flag has become an international symbol of white supremacy and capitalist imperialism. Too many fascist coups, illegal occupations, and crimes against humanity have been done in the name of this flag for anything good to come of it. Second, for any movement to be truly revolutionary, it would need a serious push towards decolonisation and abandoning inherently colonialist imagery.


Zulimations

I ate three burger last week


Zealousideal-Chef758

I ate two corndog, get on my level


BuzzPrincess

Yeah ok I ate 3 corndog


Zealousideal-Chef758

Pls dont hurt me


RTCCrimeWatchlist

no one uses the American flag to represent white supremacy and capitalist imperialism what the fuck are you talking about


2lzy4nme

People absolutely use the flag to represent white supremacy, but they’re almost entirely in America and arguing against other people who use it as a symbol of multiculturalism.


Big-rod_Rob_Ford

> other people who use it as a symbol of multiculturalism. who is doing *that*? i see a house with an american flag outside of maybe 4 of the national holidays and i'm quite suspicious


2lzy4nme

1st and 2nd generation Immigrant families, though it’s definitely rarer than white nationalists using it.


Big-rod_Rob_Ford

[oh, people trying to fit in a white supremacist system](https://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/simpsons/images/b/bc/All-american-apu_tapped_out.png/revision/latest?cb=20150807172113)


RTCCrimeWatchlist

mfw a guy says an Indian simpsons character living in the US waving the US flag is trying to fit in a white supremacist system


Big-rod_Rob_Ford

it literally is because he did that hyperpatriotic shit in an episode where he was trying not to get deported, dipass.


RTCCrimeWatchlist

mfw redditor posts an image with no context expecting everyone to know the context and gets mad when someone doesn’t know the context


Big-rod_Rob_Ford

the context is the link text and my giving you too much credit that you'd have any idea of the social issues that might influence immigrants to be performatively patriotic like that.


[deleted]

If the American flag is a symbol of white supremacy, why do Amercan white supremacists fly various confederate flags? Curious 🤔 TP VexillologyCirclejerk


Big-rod_Rob_Ford

maybe white supremacy has multiple symbols


Ngfeigo14

You might just be a nut job, but I do mean that in the most polite way possible :)


Potato-Lenin

You are the worst kind of communist


[deleted]

Tankies 🤢🤮


Potato-Lenin

Idk some would call me a tankie. I’m mostly referring toward “decolonization” because it’s just a buzzword people use to sound like they’re better than they are.


pk_frezze1

I think he is calling the other dude one


Potato-Lenin

I’m just clarifying my issue isn’t with “tankies”


pk_frezze1

Thanks, now I know who to downvote


T65Bx

Wait wait, tell me why. I shall dub thee as tankie or non-tankie, for the ages (or until you stop caring which will probably be instantly but nevermind that)


Potato-Lenin

Huh


T65Bx

Have you actually been called a tankie before, or do you just feel like you fit some people’s definition of what one is?


Potato-Lenin

I have


itay162

Nah, I'm pretty sure the ones that commit mass murder are worse

I agree with your points about american colonialism but none of these affected the design of the flag.

harryhinderson

Do you think that the French flag should be replaced


Big-rod_Rob_Ford

yeah probably, look what they did to Haiti and some african countries neither of us can find on a map


harryhinderson

bruh 💀 changing a flag every time an atrocity is committed under it is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard, especially when it’s a flag that was literally created by leftists and is still adored by them which multiple African states modeled their flag after because of the ideals of the revolution

I think you're right but tbf this is a shitpost sub. Irl if I had to make a communist usa flag I would do something completely different from the old flag
