The Manics and the USSR

[kjrain12]

I'm fairly aware of the Manics' political views, I know that they are quite liberal (most of the time) but I've seen them use the USSR symbol (scythe and hammer) fairly often, especially during the Holy Bible era. (I noticed it in the liner notes of the Holy Bible 10th Anniv. edition especially) So I was just wondering, does anyone here know exactly what their thoughts on the USSR are? Do they respect the ideologies upon which it was founded or do they appreciate the discipline and advancements made during that era of Russia? Any insight would be appreciated.
