	== ~~Meaning~~ ==		== Semiotic analysis ==
			In concordance with the tripartite system of categorizing signs devised by the [[United States of America\|Statesian]] polymath Charles Sanders Peirce, the hammer and sickle classify as an index – the category of signs which utilizes the likeness of a physical object to indicate an associated meaning; in this case, the unity between the two major groups forming the masses of the working class within the context of the early days of the [[Russian revolution of 1917\|Bolshevik Revolution]], the peasantry and the proletariat.<ref name=":0">{{Web citation\|newspaper=Media Studies\|title=Charles Peirce’s Sign Categories\|url=https://media-studies.com/peirce-sign-categories/}}</ref>

	~~The meaning~~ of the hammer and sickle has ~~broadened~~ to ~~represent~~ [[Marxism]], [[communism]], and the proletarian struggle.		Notably, the hammer and sickle presents the unique characteristic of being an "index of indexes", as its two constituent components too function as indexes for their respective classes, the proletariat for the hammer and the peasantry for the sickle. Indeed, the two signs have been used separately of each other in various contexts throughout history.<ref name=":0" />

			Through the act of these two individual signs being crossed together they attain a new identity, that of one single index communicating a more complex and inherently socialist message, the unity of the working class in a revolutionary mass movement. As other proletarian movements adopted the Bolshevik hammer and sickle, its meaning has further abstracted to an indicator of [[Marxism]], communism, and the proletarian struggle as a whole.<ref name=":0" />
