The Hammer and Sickle

The hammer and sickle is a symbol associated with communism and socialist movements. The hammer represents industrial workers, symbolizing labor and the working class’s role in production. The sickle stands for agricultural workers, emphasizing farming and rural labor. Together, they symbolize unity between workers and peasants in building a socialist society. Originating from the Soviet Union’s emblem, the symbol reflects the idea of collective effort and solidarity among different labor groups working towards common goals. It is often used to represent communist ideals and the pursuit of equality through collective ownership and governance.
