Armie Hammer, eh? He’s descended from the rich oil mogul who founded the Communist Party USA.
It’s short for Armand Hammer, which was originally chosen as a pun on the Communist Arm and Hammer logo of the USSR.
Rather an odd ancestry for the Lone Ranger.
Armand Hammer, Arnie's great-grandfather, was the oil mogul.
Armand's father Julius was involved in forming the Communist Party USA.

The symbol of the USSR was a hammer and sickle. The symbol of the Socialist Labor Party of America, founded in 1877, was an arm holding a hammer. Julius Hammer was a member of this party before he helped start the Communist Party USA.
He played the twins in “The Social Network” which was a great movie and he did pretty good for a conservative film. I can’t see why his background should make any difference. Since when are kids allowed to pick their parents or grandparents?
I just thought of something. You must be talking about someone else. This guy is Canadian.
