Why is there a Soviet/Russian flag on that banner?




Some other photos from the event:

This is like blowing your own head off so you can collect the life insurance.

Because they don't want to take a paycut that would bring them down to taking home the equivalent of a German pension. With such a sense of entitlement running the country, no wonder they're broke.

Because it's a banner of the KKE, which is Greece's communist party.

Its not. Whats on that banner is the Hammer and Sickle, a symbol associated with communism which is why it was incorporated (along with the red star) on the soviet flag (the russian flag looks nothing like the old soviet one) as well as many other communist states.

As for why its on that banner. The hammer and sickle is still used by various communist parties, which is what KKE (Kommounistikó Kómma Elládas - Communist Party of Greece) is.
