They have a communal root network that ends up making them pretty resilient to natural disaster, if my understanding is correct. So it's a nice allegory for our ideals as communists.
Yeah, it's super cool. And this is based on the quaking aspen, which is indigenous to North America. So it's an appropriately unique symbol that can help distance us from the oft decried hammer and sickle.
I think it was suggested as a way to help distance the American movement from the less popular Stalin and Mao. While we all know that they are better than US history classes would admit, your average American would need to get over that before accepting communism as legitimate. This kind of sidesteps that so we can get buy-in and circle back around to why everything Americans learn about communist regimes of the past is wrong.
Adding to this, all connected aspens are genetically identical, so depending on what you count as a single organism, one of the stands out west is the oldest living organism on the planet by far
