(PS. Cool, another Inkscape user!)
Although I do like some of the other designs I presented better than this one, I am very happy that people liked it enough to use it for the splash screen. Thanks again, to you and to everyone that voted.
Gaah! I thought it was familiar....

You like the colours? But it's plain black and white? Well, brown and paper.
As for the commies... Well, I myself am one, sorta. I don't eat babies, though. Too much fat.
Anyway, I am well aware that we do brag a lot when we talk about communism. And without experience, so we are all theorics -- that's why I respect highly the oppinion of anyone who has lived under a self-proclaimed communist government. In the name of communism, great atrocities have been made.
That said, I do think there is one thing that redeems communism: its paradigm, it's fundamental principles ("freedom, equality, solidarity", "from everyone according to their ability, to everyone according to their need", "the greatest good for the greatest number of people") are still laudabile. They just need to be approached in different ways. Not so much for other movements who proclaimed the supremacy of a certain race, the existance of one only god, or the benefit of a few.
The seek of Communism (for many disagree that it has ever really existed) brought terror and misery, yes. But so did the path to democracy: remember the Months of Terror of the French Revolution, and Napoleon conquering Europe (and the regression democracy suffered as a result). We learn from our mistakes, or so I hope.
As K.S. Robinson put it, the misery of the XX century was trying to implement a philosophy of the future with the tools of the past.
Only thing i can find wrong with it is you mean node editing not node edition
