Stars are an ubiquitous symbol of the heavens, ascent, a direction marker, wayward point etc. The five pointed star is the easiest to draw.

Its humans that give meanings to symbols. If you theoretically saw a pentagram for the first time, without context, i doubt youd think of an actual star/planet. 

From the little that i know, the 5-pointed star started becoming popular in the 19th century. The US flag made it popular. So i find it odd that entities like the USSR would use the same symbol as the 'enemy'. Dozens of other countries adopted it too. 

My point is, everyone worldwide is looking at the exact same symbol. A chinese child, will initially associate it with china/home. Then it will see it on other major flags and go 'oh, we're all using the same symbol after all', subconsciously at least. 

Accidental, or on purpose, that i dont know. 

Flags are funny too. Same patters everywhere. Even the flags shape (besides nepal and switzerland, could be others). And whats up with red/blue/white on every flag.
