About the flag

In a background Red, a circle with halves blue and red for the colors of the motherland with a hammer and sickle communist symbols between two branches that represent the victory of the party in the social struggles of the XXth century.

Here is a photo with slightly different flag visible (there is a white star above, and in center circle blue is over red, not red over blue): http://www.flickr.com/photos/proimos/3919333050/.

These people are revisionists. Seriously, I think this may be the correct version. After all, the central emblem closely follows the colour arrangement of the national arms.

Seems that our image on FOTW is wrong. The blue-on-top version not only makes sense when compared with the national CoA but also is to be easily confirmed by any random image search matching actual, photographically attested, and officially sanctioned use:

    • Other depictions of the emblem, non-photographic, also agree:

    • In spite of some variation in the representation of the wreath, other details do not vary too much, and indeed absent star and red over blue disc is nowhere to be found.

    At the Blogger.com profile page of the Regional Committee of PCC in Elquí, a yellow, not white hammer and sickle emblem can be seen:

    • All this doesn’t preclude the use of more usual Communist symbology with golden hammer and sickle on red:
