Life is also communist?

What with the Sword and Sickle.

It means you can be a warrior AND a crafter / farmer... because you have two seperated skillcaps. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HD1E6MGTD88

To be fair it does look a bit communist,... I was wondering what that was all about when I saw it. Not that I was too worried,... plenty of room in the "internet" for different systems of government! ;)

[SomeGypsy]

just for general reasoning purposes...the communist logo you're thinking of is a hammer and sicle....the sicle is a common tool used in older farming practices...and the nazi logo is a damn symbol of "power" its what you attribute to them that gives them their image..

..its a game about farming and mideval slaying....

I always thought it was just a silly joke since it replaced the hammer for a sword.

Have you considered why communists took up the hammer and the sickle as their primary icons in the first place? They sure as hell weren't the first people to assign meaning to simple hand tools.

This is like spotting the fasces on a bunch of US emblems and going Aha! Time travelling Nazis!

[Friendly Fire]

Oh my god!!! That explains so much...... especially all the middle aged socialist workers party members in universities and colleges who never ever seem to actually leave or study or work....

Time travelling Nazis and Socialist Workers Party activists trapped in time..... the irony...

;)

Seriously though, I think it is kind of interesting that all this came up, because with heraldry sort of being diminished and logos and branding being the new "heraldry" in some respects, we have lost some of our collective heritage of using much symbolism.

I know heraldry is still living is commonwealth realms and Ireland and some other european countries, but it has certainly diminished.

Yeah, Frosty... I also took it for a joke. Especially considering the devs are from Russia :D
