The president can make evocity a communist state if he wants too, it has been done countless of times.
According to killjoy, both Nazi and Communist symbols are banned due to being offensive.

While I can agree with symbols of Nazism being banned due to the obvious link in just about everyones mind with hate, symbols of Communism are just associated with exactly that, Communism. While many people may have died under Communism, it is not associated with this and very few people would associate it with hate, and hence if we're going to ban Communist symbols under it, why don't we ban other symbols? Such as Crosses due to the crusades, or US flags such due to the crimes committed against the native Americans? Or presidents who call themselves Dictators due to the large amounts of suffering and death under dictatorships?
My point is, if we're going to censor out Communist symbols due to the killings of Joseph Stalin when in reality, it causes little offence to people, then every other symbol of a regime or such with a major death toll behind it, regardless of how much offence they actually cause to people.
