Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

Made the post because goddamn the Juche flag is cool, wanted to know if there are some other banger ones outside the standard hammer and sickle.

I like the little animal portraits :)

it's a little sad this flag got scrapped in favor of the Soyombo flag that was adopted post-WW2, because it is also very loaded with national symbology, but i do ultimately understand why it happened — easier to reproduce + national symbol is more prominent and immediately recognizable: something that was very important for the MPR to signal when the KMT had been breathing down their necks since the revolution.

all symbolism aside though i do like the animal portraits. very cute :-]

I’m personally favorable to the DDR’s symbol.

The drafting compass is a criminally underutilized symbol for how well it can be integrated into a design.

USSR flag is still my all time favorite.

The Belorussian SSR flag looked so good that even after socialism they made little to no changes to the new one.

I like the wheat framing on socialist emblems:

Reminded me of the corn and sickle electoral picture of CPI (India). Unfortunately the party sucks.

WPK symbol is cool, I also like The DDR's!

[–] MatBC@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 1 week ago

I like the juche symbol as well, very nice

I need this flag so bad

[–] Malkhodr@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 1 week ago

Angola's flag 🇦🇴 is one of my favorites along with Mozambique 🇲🇿. I'm also just very partial to the Red Star as a symbol, whether on a hat, flag, or other piece iconography.
