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.
