Swastikas from Adolf Hitler as S-letters for SOCIALISM symbols
The National Socialist German Workers Party did not call their symbol a "swastika," they called it a Hakenkreuz (hooked cross) because it was a type of cross. German National Socialists did not call themselves "Nazis" and they used their hooked cross to represent crossed S-letters for their name: "socialists." See the work of the symbologist Dr. Rex Curry. http://rexcurry.net/swastika.html
That is why the German symbol is turned 45 degrees from the horizontal and always pointed in the S-direction. GNSers had a lot of similar stylized alphabetical symbolism, for the "SS" division, the "SA," the "NSV," and even VW (the letters V and W combined for "volkswagen"). German National Socialists did not refer to themselves as "Nazis," nor as "Fascists." Some popular authors probably know that GNSers did not refer to themselves as Nazis nor Fascists, yet those authors never actually explain or emphasize the point, and that means that many Americans can read books by many popular authors and remain clueless about the fact that GNSers did not call themselves nazis nor fascists. Many people are so ignorant that they do not even know what German National Socialists actually called themselves. Many people are so ignorant that they think German National Socialists called themselves nazis and fascists, because those are the only words many Americans have ever heard or spoken in that regard in their entire lives. Many posts are evidence of the ignorance mentioned here. That is why they never comprehend that the hakenkreuz was used as S-letters for "socialism" because they do not know what Nazis called themselves. http://rexcurry.net/swastika-hakenkreuz-oxford-english-dictionary.html
In that sense, many people who claim that they want to defend the "swastika" only continue to defame it by using the wrong term for the German symbol and by failing to distinguish the German symbol by its orientation, alteration, and alphabetical symbolism for S-letters. They are vulgus profanum. http://rexcurry.net/swastika3swastika.jpg
Anyone who wants to "save the swastika" from proposed laws to ban and criminalize its display, needs to stop defaming the swastika and start explaining that the German symbol was a hooked cross and used as S-letters for "socialism."
