  I have to say, I've always been somewhat baffled by the hammer-n'-sickle iconography as well. My guess is that it's merely an appropriation of an image designed to shock and offend (witness Alex Cox's revisionist switching of the swastika to the soviet hammer-n'-sickle symbol on Sid Vicious' red t-shirt in the slavishly overrated "Sid & Nancy.")
  

   Killing Joke -- much like many of their post-punk peers -- always seemed to flirt with Cold War imagery, so I'm guessing it stems from that. I don't believe they espouse any Leninist ideals, however.
  

  Could be wrong, though.

    I dont recall Killing Joke ever supporting the Communist cause , they have on numerous occasions rejected the Capitalist  school of thought , but theyve never actually come out if favour of Communism , so I cannot understand why the Hammer and Syckle featured on the cover of the live DVD . Have Killing Joke ever given their support to any Politicians or Political party ?
