Question:

Why are most Communist coat of arms depicting machinery?

Communist/Socialist. Like the old Europe stuff. I have looked through the coat of arms for those countries and they all depict something having to do with work I suppose. I mean like farming tools, nuclear power plants, factories, electric poles, telephone towers, telegram lines, and so on.I mean like I think its interesting.

Answer:

The old symbolism had to do with animals and various heraldic symbols that were passed down from the old hierarchies. Communism wanted to create an equal society with no hierarchies, so their symbolism had to do with the low-class workers. Perhaps a better symbol would be the fried chicken and vodka the beauracratic fat-cats consumed while starving the Ukrainians, but whatever.
Communism usually aims to appeal to the working class, and so logos often depict items relevant to that area of society.

Machine men with machine hearts and minds.
They have government created for the people but fail in real life. Russia in particular paid too much in military spending like we do now
