Well the red star was a symbol of the former Yugoslavia, which was communist for a while. Then after the Informbiro conflict it wasn't anymore.

I was just proving it WAS a sign of communism. First you go and fetch a bunch of these symbols, now you're saying "who gives a shit".

Whatever.

But it's a symbol of Yugoslavia, not communism itself.

I always thought the red star represented communism.

Well, China is communist and their flag has a yellow star.

Meh. I just have a thing where people attach some symbol to one thing. Like the iron cross, my school thinks its racist because Hitler used it but it was actually created as a war medal by the british way before hitler.

And the Swastika. It was actually a peace symbol, but Hitler just deleted the dots on it and rotated it a little.

Haha. 'I present to you, the Jericho."

That was the coolest part in the movie, I think.

EDIT: this is somewhat on topic, but, is this normal?

Are you serious? This is the part in the movie where he presents a weapon of mass devastation and murder and is replaced with a happy rainbow.
