The green one reminds me of Linux Mint for some reason. I think they had one in their defaults that resembled it.
Actually, that would be a banger wallpaper on Mint! Kind of a stealth reference to communism that won’t get you lynched when you open your laptop in public.
I like “discreet” communism symbols because where I live you may mention support for the workers, poor and oppressed people as long as you don’t mention socialism or communism (they’ll react as if you’re a cloud cuckoolander or a psycho) nor how capitalism is the root of most global issues and inequality (they’ll resort to the You’re just jealous rhetoric).
I get you. I’m a Chinese person in Vancouver, Canada (the North American capital of Asian hate). No one IRL can find out I’m a communist and especially that I support the PRC, I’d be concerned for my safety then.
For example, I have friends outside of communist circles, so I use “leftist dogwhistles” like putting 734 in some of my usernames (and I suggest people on Lemmygrad do the same so we can identify each other on the internet)
Thanks for the comment, though I don’t know if there are many widespread shibboleths to identify ourselves and I’m not sure if making a thread about it would be a good idea.

That would look great.

It’s understandable, better safe than sorry.
