      Sure, but the vast majority of Marxists globally are Marxist-Leninists, and Lemmy’s makeup reflects that.

          The hammer and sickle is a symbol of Marxism-Leninism, though, the hammer being for the proletariat and sickle for the peasantry. This is just kinda silly

            But it’s associated in my experience with uncritical support of the USSR in the Stalinist period.

              The overwhelming majority of Marxist-Leninists support the USSR, but don’t feel that it was a paradise nor free from mistake, including in the era of Stalin. The hammer and sickle is associated with Marxism-Leninism, and the various Marxist-Leninist parties, groups, and countries around the world.
