Not sure how you can draw that conclusion from what I said. The USSR flag, while it is a flag of an oppressive totalitarian regime, does not carry the symbol of hate meaning as much as the Nazi flag does (and probably not even as much as the confederate flag is). My argument was to say that even though a lot of people died during the Stalinist era, I do not consider the USSR flag to be at the save level as the Nazi flag, and I would not treat the two in the same way.
