Hey, yesterday I made a communist-style flag of the United States. (If it ever went communist).
The Communist logo in the middle there is the current symbol of the Communist Party USA.
Of course, the flag is red and yellow, as most communist flags are.
The party's history is super important in terms of fighting for racial equality in the United States, (even notoriously helping out the Scottsboro Boys out when they were falsely accused of assault, and a bunch of other civil rights movements). Hence why the two yellow stripes on the flag symbolize equality (a sort of "=" sign) of both the workers and the multiple races within the United States.
The yellow circle in the middle is a more simplified version of the 13-star pattern in the first United States flag. Simplified to lose the reference to the colonialist past that led to the founding of the United States, while keeping an ounce of American symbolism.
Tell me what you think below.

that flag unironically looks sick tho but it doesn't really scream "murica"
Ik late response but I just saw this now. Yeah I agree it doesn't scream "America" but the flag of USSR didn't really scream "Russia" nor does China's scream "China." Communist Flags don't often cater to nationalism, national pride, or national symbolism, as nationalism is an opposing ideal. More-so communist country flags tend to show more unity of the working class, the party, and the people. This why I designed the flag like this. A Communist one-party controlled America would realistically try to stray away from nationalism and more towards labor unity.
