It seems to me that in doing so you are being insensitive to those that either lived through it or had family executed, and disrespectful to those whose lives were taken.
Intelligent people can understand your point, but nothing should ever be compared to genocide and it goes too far for many people's taste, including mine.

well, i know in other places people have a thing with being politically correct. I for one, do not believe in that.
As for being insensitive to those that... bla bla bla... I guess then i am being insensitive to me, myself, my family and many people of my political beliefs, not that YOU would know anything about my personal history, right?
One thing is showing respect, which i may do more than u may imagine in different circumstances, and another is not to have the right to use icons/art as subversively as possible, with a revolutionary mind, against capitalist corporations.
