And if you saw in the streets, you would see alternating red and black colours. I can't see how you would confuse that with nazis.
That particular flag existed before Nazism? Really? Can you prove this?

It is not just colour, it is design. They both have black logos in a white circle centred on a red background. The only difference is they replaced a black swastika with a blag flag.

I'm sure you can see how that could be misinterpreted by the ordinary layman.
