You are just cherry picking, leave your communist symbols home.

No, I don't think I'm cherry-picking when it comes to what communist and Nazi symbols represent. Any comparison between the two is simply unaware of their respective roles. True, both have been adopted by oppressive, murderous regimes, but communist symbols have mainly represented -- to this day -- the idea of worker solidarity, and have been used by hundreds of democratic parties throughout the world. This is not true for Nazi symbols.
