"making them afraid will make them more racist" that's wild to me, because we live in a whole culture of social consequences for antiracism anyway. It is literally safer to be a racist than it is to speak up against it, socially.

i dont think the queer community fully understands how isolating it is to be a queer slav and seeing the fucking hammer and sickle fucking everywhere

As a non-communist leftist who has a lot of communist friends, i did in fact not know there were such strong feelings towards that symbol! I aways thought it was the only communism symbol, and it's good to know that it has such negative connotations towards the Slavic community so I don't use it.

i was recently made aware of this flag that is used by the free territories in ukraine and it honestly looks so badass, would definitely recommend this one!

as a 'left' person with an obsession with flags and symbols (including the UFT flag) theres certainly a lot of leftist symbols which either have much less charged history than the hammer and sickle or were used by leftist groups directly opposed to the ussr.

hope it's okay to add on, but op's post made me think of something i read, articulating discomfort with the hammer and sickle from a jewish anarchist perspective
