Well, maybe it is wrong translation. par. 2 by
"carrying" or "holding"
it is meant not holding or carrying for your personal use, but for
example putting 1000 T-shirts into truck and crossing the Polish
border with this stuff :-) The meaning is that the crime is making
bussines on that stuff or producing and distributing it with a main
goal to promote any communist regime. Wearing is not forbidden.
Moreover, in order to put you to prision the prosecutor will have to
prove that your main goal was indeed promotion of communist or fashist
regime. If you just wear a T-shirt with Che Gueavera face - you can
always say that it is for you not a symbol of current Cuban communist
regime but just a symbol of revolutionary liberation of poor people in
third world countries from western economic exploitation :-)
Out of curiosity, would this include if you made the Communist Manifesto
available on your website?
That, itself, is quite different from the totalitarianism of Stalinism
or Maoism.
