Far-right Symbolism

[Aesop]

I was wondering if the more experienced comrades who have knowledge on far-right symbols could get a sticky up with all the different symbols and a rating scale on the lines of 1 being like 'some metal head kid symbol'. While 10 being 'no why would you make yourself such a target ?'

I know the obvious symbols like the distorted celtic cross and the Swastika, but i feel it may be of benefit to thoses not to familiar with other such symbols.

Thanks in advance

This below is the Cetnik symbol. The Cetniks were royalist forces in Yugoslavia during World War Two. They are Ultranationalists and hate anyone who is not a Serb. Towards the closing years of the war, they joined the side of the Fascists to defeat our Partizan Comrades [In which they failed, miserably].

I would personally give it a 10, such a symbol of hate and religious ultranationalism is hard to find.

[Sorry, but my post count isn't high enough to post images, You could easily find the Cetniks pig symbol if you search "Cetnicki Grb" or "Serbian Coat of Arms" in Google Images]

This below is far worse than the above, as it was a symbol of the ultranationalist fascist movement of Croatia called the "Ustase". They murdered hundreds of thousands of jews, gypsies and muslims but their primary target were the Serbs. The methods they used in the concentration camp at Jasenovac even disgusted top German officers who had experience in other camps such as Auschwitz.

This symbol is second only to the Swastika when it comes to...not sure what word describes it best. If someone has an appropriate term, please inform me.

[As before, search "Ustaski Grb" or "Ustasa coat of arms" in Google Images. If it helps, the internet symbol for Ustasa's is =U=]

*removed symbol* - sorry

This is the black sun, the symbol of "esoteric hitlerism" (a variation of national socialism which is claiming that Hitler is still living in Atlantis/Antarctica/the Moon shielded by German black magicians and the Vril, as well as the ancestors of white people are supposed to be three metre tall giants from a sunken continent which once lied where the Arctic was).

The ideology is probably the most insane ever.

But its a fucking amazing symbol.

Please dont post national socialist symbols on this website (linking is allowed), because the owner is german it can give him and us lots of legal problems

(the germans have insane tight anti-nazi propaganda laws, a while ago an leftist group that distributed "gegen nazi's" t-shirts with an crossed out swastika even got prosecuted. Wich explains these t-shirts:http://www.nixgut-onlineshop.de/images/product_images/popup_images/image_10672_1.jpg http://www.nixgut-onlineshop.de/images/product_images/info_images/image_10544_1.jpg)

Fascist loves their symbols ... specialy when their connected to ancient history (they love to claim to be the descendent of some uber civilization... like Romans for the fascist. and ... well "arian-atlantic-moon" etc for the nazis.

(emh link not allowed search for the word in google).

This is the "Fascio Littorio".
Its an ancient Roman symbol that stand for justice.
Its composed of various wooden sticks and an axe.
It was used to punish transgressors.
If the punishment was light , you where going to be beaten with all of the wooden stics that composed the "fascio littorio".
If you where punished for somenthing "heavy" than the axe would have been used to cut your head.
This ancient symbol of punishment and order was vandalized and raped by the fascist.. along with many parts of ancient Rome history.

Dimentio , when you mentioned the "black sun" i remembered a satanic/nazi group named "Joy of Satan".
Since im interested in weird religion (more as an social phenomenon than as an theological point of view) i read a lot about it... and actualy found out that they believed that Satan is somekind of uber white god that in reality is an alien and that hitler was his emissary of "truth".
They claim that the whites are the true descendents of the gods... but they accept black and mexicans as well... if they "pay" a small fee... and if they will be "very" good the super nazi alien god will make them "white".

Halleluja for weirdnes.

The symbol of Italian Fascism, the fasces. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasces)

It is a bundle of sticks with an axe blade at center. Although it's sometimes used in heraldy, in modern context, I would give it a 10.

The Iron Cross(distorted crusader's cross) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Cross) is a widely used Nazi symbol, but brands like Independent use it and so do many biker gangs, which may or may not be fascist or Nazi's. I would give this a 4 or 5.

The Celtic cross (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celtic_cross) has pretty much been nazified. Although maybe some Celtic churches use this cross, I would definitely give the Celtic cross a 8.

Nordic Runes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rune) are used by some Neopagan groups, but mostly by nationalists nowadays, who sometimes are Neopagans. I give this an 8.

I have several t-shirts from Independent and i was often mocked by a comrade who kept telling me they where nazi.
She wasent wrong but still i like Independent logo.
