The hammer and sickle is a tankie symbol. Tankies call everyone they disagree with a lib, which absolutely includes anarchists.
The hammer and sickle is a socialist symbol, of which tankies are a tiny subset, if you're even using the word correctly (to mean people who unironically support everything authoritarian communist regimes do), which I doubt on the basis of your 'knowledge' of socialist symbols. Also I'm an anarchist, and while we have our disagreements, I've never been called a liberal by anyone on the left.
The symbol originates from Soviet Union, and was adopted by other "socialist" regimes around the world, so I guess describing it as a 'symbol of authoritarian socialist regimes' would be more accurate idk
It is also the symbol of many socialist movements, some of which has some pretty major issues with said socialist regimes around the world, so no, that wouldn't be more accurate. It's just a socialist symbol.
lol ok buddy
