Sorry, you are correct about it being a Republican, not Imperial symbol.

In everything else, you're basically confirming what I said with additional detail. There's no good reason why socialists should want to use a symbol whose underlying message is "Stand in line or we'll beat you down."

The underlying message, I would argue, is "This authority exercised in this place or by this person is granted by the people", though, again, I agree that it's not very useful a symbol in the modern day.
