What are some non-Communist symbols that you think can work well with Communism? (lemmygrad.ml)

Kinda curious because a lot of our heraldry and vexillology, although it looks great, it always include the same 2 or 3 symbols, like the hammer and sickle, red star, etc., and there isn't much variations in the symbols used. So, staying away from stuff already used by Socialist states and movements, what are some non-Communist symbols do you think are a good fit for it?

I'm not going to suggest dolphins because they have already been used, but I like animal imagery so I want to recommend a couple to consider.

  • Ants and Bees: strong association with working and communal effort
  • Crows: intelligent communal animals who are also a bit vengeful and represent transition
  • Flamingos: LGBTQ+ association and groups that works together while allowing individuality
  • Elephants: Big, stronk, and have deep community ties enough to morn each other

The biggest issue is there may be difficulty translating animal imagery across cultural boundaries.
