This would go harder without the hammer and sickle. Communism didnt fail; the ussr did.

The Hammer & Sickle is the symbol of Marxism-Leninism, not just the USSR. There are several Marxist-Leninist states to this day, including the PRC, Cuba, Vietnam, Laos, and the DPRK.

Is the PRC still communist though?

Yes. They are more classically Marxist now, than they were in the late Mao and Gang of Four period. I elaborated on that, here.
