You don’t sound stupid, Tyler. The emblem of the Soviet Union (the political system that existed in Russia from 1917 to 1989) was the hammer crossed with a sickle. The hammer stood for industry while the sickle represented agriculture. This shirt employs, for the purpose of being ironic, what I suppose you would call a malapropism (switching a word around with a similar sounding work that has a completely different meaning). In this case “sickle”, the curved blade used for the harvesting of crops and “Popsicle”, a brand of frozen, sugary treats. I suppose this might also be considered a pun by some. Either way, very clever and humorous. I’d wear it.

There is no one symbol for communism. It was the symbol for the Soviet Union, as said.

A good, humorous play on soviet symbolism. This design should appeal to a rather wide audience, including people on opposing ideological viewpoints.

I bought this shirt, it fits perfect. The image looks good, but there's a shadow of it on the back of the shirt... Oh well.
Paired with my Russian officer hat, I was on a role in school. :) Too bad only teacher's got the joke, kids these days are history retarded.
