Can we all agree that the 1936 Soviet flag is OBJECTIVELY better than the khruschevite garbage they concocted up in 1955

In the end it doesn't matter, since i uncontrollably 
whenever is see either of them
I like the latter ngl. Not saying I don’t like the original, or that I’m endorsing Kruschev, but I like that the space with just red is simply larger. Red as a color evokes a lot of emotion, and as symbolic the sickle and hammer are as communist icons, it’s more important to emphasize the natural strength of passion that binds all of us. Also prefer the less bubbly sickly and hammer of the latter.
Lastly, I think the 2nd one works better as a unifying banner for world wide communism and the original is too provincial. Why? Fuck if I know. Edit: Actually, I think it’s because the original has a very Russian aesthetic, probably because of the more pronounced swoop of the sickle
Will agree the original evokes a lot of WWII imagery
more red is more better, the original flag of the workers movement is an unadorned red flag
yeah and the USSR was an actual entity not just the symbol of the working class, since it wasn't just a workers movement. People forget how the bolsheviks lead the way in worker-peasant unity for the building of a socialist state, and that is why they had the hammer and sickle.
also if you're going to complain, the hammer and sickle only are on one side of the USSR flag. The other is plain red
i'm not complaining, as long as there are different entities it'd be confusing for them to use all-red in every context. but i like when the flags have more red for that reason
sorry, then i misread
