It is supposed to be a communist symbol unironically, with the black hand supposed to represent an industrial glove, with the lines being shiny latex, and the white hand is supposed to represent farmers and the agrarians.
This makes sense seeing how the whole movie and book is just "GoMMuniZm BaD!!!
also makes me think we should reinterpret and reclaim 1984 as a story not about the horrors of totalitarianism, but instead as the unreliably narrated story of a sex-obsessed fascist groomer getting girlbossed by a based undercover feminist comrade
When i first read 1984 i interpreted it as pretty clumsy, but very anticapitalist message, and i wasn’t even tankie back then, just succdem - that’s maybe because i was also read in various sci-fi dystopias which were mostly capitalist dystopias.
When i learned Orwell was anticommunist i was like “For fucks sake, how bad author he was that he achieved effect opposite to intended?”
