The new logo ?

Only to say this : I was writing a message and when I posted it, I noticed that some members has this picture in their signatures, and the same at the place of the original logo, at the top left.



I'm (again) VERY disappointed : how can you use this symbol in your logo ? It is as using the swastika. These symbols aren't only pictures we can use at every moment under the pretext that there are a lot of changement in the site with the QP and so on.

So hat are the reasons to display such a symbol as this one ? Communism, I recall to you, is a terrible thing and made (makes?) millions of deaths.

I'm very disappointed that you're using this. "C'est vraiment bas, lâche et irréfléchi" would I say in french.

Why did you do that ? Even if it wasn't a sign of communist propaganda, we can't use it. It is only ethic.
I'm very, very disappointed of you, Moderators (or (rather) anyone who did that). We can't play with these things.

I shall not try to say something wrong, or something i will regret on later, but Marx's version of communism aren't the one that are hated most (I think). When people hears communism they thinks of Russia under Stalin, and as most of us know, he was very brutal.

"When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist."
–Dom Helder Camara, Brazilian archbishop

If you look at the quote above, it seems that a communist state, sacrifices some of your freedom, but you wouldn't have food unfairness (all get same amount of food).

What can be told about communism is:
"Communism: Right idea, wrong species."
-Jermaine Evans

Socialism (not communism) is the right idea for humanity. Humans are naturally social creatures, and they care for and about each other. It is only capitalism that can make them selfish and uncaring.

Guarder i agrre with you communism and socialism project ended with the death of Lenin. Stalin created authocratic totalitarism.(they only called it communism to legislate there power)

Although I'm not personally offended by having the logo of the glorious People's Heroic Socialist Republic, formely known as the weak and greedy Heroes Community, in the top left corner, I can understand how one would be. It can be a pretty dour joke for some people.

But not having it in our individual sigs? I'm a social libertarian market-liberal freak, but the symbol just refers to the broad country. Stalin killed millions of people under his reign, not communism. It's not the same thing as having the Nazi Swatsika on the HC, since the Nazi Swatsika represented a specific party that specifically endorsed genocide. Just my thoughts though.

The funny thing (seriously now .. lmao ) is that that the logo on the upper left corner seems as it was yesterday under mac (safari) and linux (iceweasel, konqueror - those I tried). Now the shocking part is that in iphone (again safari in theory) shows "Commune".
