You thought the whole 'EUSSR' thing was over the top? Have a look at this poster

Take a close look at this promotional poster. Notice anything? Alongside the symbols of Christianity, Judaism, Jainism and so on is one of the wickedest emblems humanity has conceived: the hammer and sickle.

For three generations, the badge of the Soviet revolution meant poverty, slavery, torture and death. It adorned the caps of the chekas who came in the night. It opened and closed the propaganda films which hid the famines. It advertised the people's courts where victims of purges and show-trials were condemned. It fluttered over the re-education camps and the gulags. For hundreds of millions of Europeans, it was a symbol of foreign occupation. Hungary, Lithuania and Moldova have banned its use, and various former communist countries want it to be treated in the same way as Nazi insignia.

Yet here it sits on a poster in the European Commission, advertising the moral deafness of its author (I hope that's what it is, rather than lingering nostalgia). The Bolshevist sigil celebrates the ideology which, in strict numerical terms, must be reckoned the most murderous ever devised by our species.

Author Daniel Hannan is a writer and journalist, and has been Conservative MEP for South East England since 1999. He speaks French and Spanish and loves Europe, but believes that the European Union is making its constituent nations poorer, less democratic and less free.

I had already heard about this. Despicable. This is YET AGAIN, the left covering up what the communists did, the fact that they murdered more people than the Nazis. It’s enough to make you physically sick looking at this monstrosity. Burn the flag. Burn the Euro. Sentence the bureaucrats to capital punishment.

Somebody needs to be sued for stealing that goofy “coexist” bumper sticker idea.

Everything is the same, or something, if we make a star shape, or not.

Where’s the swastika? Let’s be inclusive... :)

[GeronL]

Looks pretty fascist to me

[GeronL]

I think it should be photoshopped to put a swaztika in the center and the words changed to EUSSR 4AIL

[KarlInOhio]

At least throw a few fasces to reflect Italian history.

Back in the EU
Back in the EU
Back in the EUSSR

Well, those great debts really knock me out
They kick the West’s behind
See Angela’s blubbery cellulite hanging out
That EU troika is always on my mi, mi, mi, mi, mind

[null and void]

There's not a dime's chance they'd do that...

[Kay Ludlow]

After going to the Europe4All website, to read what they want, OF COURSE they included the Hammer & Sickle! t
They are seeking a lot of collectivizing, equalizing and providing for social justice. For everyone equally, of course.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Here is the REAL Janism symbol.
