I'm a sucker for a pleasing communist flag and I'd love to see what other people have made be it a redesign, a historical flag or even a completely made-up country (seen a couple of good space communist flags on here). So please, please indulge me with your amazing skills and satisfy my left-wing hunger!

Really cool flag. Could you explain the symbolism?
This is my flag for Communist Afganistan
A flag I just made for a Communist Brazil:
Love how so far there have been 0 hammer and sickles. What's the symbolism behind this cool flag?
Can I use this for an united Arab communist republic (Pan-Arab Workers' Democratic Union or PAWDU) in the 1932 mapgame?
A flag I just made for a Communist Brazil:
Shouldn't background color be red instead green?
Grain and crescent for people of the Fertile Crescent and it's agriculture, with the Star of socialism shining down on them.
Hammer and compass for the workers and engineers.
The open book represents learning, the intelligentsia, and the Quran.
Text at the bottom is "Workers of the world, unite!" in Arabic.
Red and gold is, well the same reasons as every other communist party
I don't really know, I just replaced the globe in the national flag with the coat of arms from the 1890 proposal by Antônio da Silva Jardim (and then added a star to that). Some symbolism I made up:
-Green/yellow: Comes from the previous flag (the Soviets usually just added on a coat of arms OTL)
-Anchor / armillary sphere: Symbolizes Brazil's Portuguese heritage
-Red star: Symbolizes communism
-Phrygian cap: Symbolizes republicanism/liberty
-Crops: Symbolizes agriculture, one of the main bases of Brazil's economy
I suppose it could be, but I decided to stick with the green because it looks better.
The stripes should be in red. There isn't enough balance of red and blue on your flag.
This flag could of course be used if the USA is Christian Communist. Or technocratic... but "traditional" Communism (Debsism, Marxism-Leninism, DeLeonism, Trotskyism, Fosterism, Browderism et al.) needs more red. On that count, I agree.
Yes. This could also - with its oil platform - stand for a generic Texan "petroleum dictatorship", whether it is a capitalist Petroleum company or - more probable with this flag - the Petroleum Workers' Union/Syndicate
