In Philadelphia, hundreds of protesters, identified as communists, marched through the city. The demonstrators were seen waving the Hammer and Sickle flag, a symbol historically associated with the Soviet Union and events such as the Soviet Gulags, the Great Terror, and widespread famine.
The march garnered widespread attention on social media, with many posts highlighting the presence of communist symbols. Some social media users suggested that the event was indicative of a growing communist influence within the United States, potentially linked to ideological shifts in educational institutions.
There is deep concern over the resurgence of communist ideology in the country. Many are pointing to the historical atrocities associated with communism and warned of the dangers of such ideologies gaining traction in modern America.
News outlets covering the march noted that it included speeches and chants advocating for workers’ rights and social justice, common themes in communist rhetoric. The demonstrators called for systemic changes to address economic inequality and social injustices.
The event in Philadelphia casts a dangerous spotlight on growing ideological movements in the U.S. See the video and reactions below:

Communists marched in Philadelphia today.
Why don’t we give them what they’re asking for? We should create a program where communists can be traded to communist countries and we trade them for people there who want freedom.
