That's a good point. The Soviet Union appropriated the hammer and sickle because they were symbols of farm and industrial labor; the symbols didn't become associated with labor because of the Soviets. It's just hard, sometimes, to look back at symbols like that that have developed an independent association from this end of the historical telescope and remember where they came from without thinking about it a bit.
