Red Stars on Homes in Rural America is it a commie movement or something? No not really

You often see a single red painted star or rusted star on many rural homes in Western Pa. and while it looks alot like the infamous red star of the former USSR the Soviet Union  its far from something anything having to do with Communists .

Its just one of the many symbols from the Pa. Dutch culture for bringing good luck.

While at one time it was a builders trade mark it has become a universal good luck symbol and can be found all over Pa. 

Although it looks a lot like the Communist red star  which was first seen in Russia in 1917

The Barn Star or pa. Star as ts some times known has been around long before the communists adopted and perverted it much like the NAZI and there use of the Swasticka 

Many home owners buy and install the red barn stars strictly for decoration and are not even aware its significance. and so it goes .

So no its not the commies invading its for good luck. but dont be surprised if you find some one with commie leanings is using one for its perverted purpose.
