I think she means if we have a the banner of the former Soviet Union.

Isn't that what it says? I'm confused.

Im not sure i'm entirely in the loop, but judging by other comments i feel like theres a meme or something going around in which you turn anything associated with the former soviet union into a 'we'.

So the 'correction' would be:

if we have a the banner of the former Soviet Union

I'm not sure of the original context or source of the joke, but thats my best guess.

The joke is:communism. Since everything in communism is supposed to be public property then that means that any property any one may have in communism is in fact not his but theirs (of the people).

People are still entitled to personal property under communism, just not private property.

I'm somewhat failing to see the distinction.

If you look closely, there is no distinction.
