The symbol on the shirts is the Totenkopf.
"Getting a job, finding a mate, having a place to live, finding a creative outlet. Life is a war of attrition. You have to stay active on all fronts. It's one thing after another. I've tried to control a chaotic universe. And it's a losing battle. But I can't let go. I've tried, but I can't." - Harvey Pekar
I heard about that, for a while I think there was even a Walmart add selling Nazi arm Bands...
But Walmart will sell anything, type Guevara into their Search engine and you'll fund 124 search results...

they seem to scream "We're anti-capitalist! now buy our shit!!!"
i don't really think they should be stopped selling anything at all
=D
Why do you think that?
if you're opposed to censorship- you have to draw the line somewhere, I mean imagine a Candystore that sold Porno Magazines, or A children's store that sold Drugs...

here in brazil, often places near schools that sell newspapers (and porno) sell candy.
Even though people can only legally buy them by the age of 18 , that law is not really enforced.
I see no problem with it.
Teens NEED porno magazines...
But yeah. A line should be drawn.
Why the hell a store that is actually designed to sell anything should be stopped selling anything?
Wal-Mart is owned by, actually it was created by, Sam Walton who was of Jewish decent, was becuase he has passed, so them selling shirts with pro-Nazi symbols does nothing. In essence the Far Right buys the shirts, thus giving their money to a Jewish man, and in the end defeats their own foolish purpose.

Wow, RP! Thats fucking awesome. You actually just changed my mind... Sell on, Wal-Mart, sell on. (Until someone burns you down, capitalist pricks)

It's wierd how fascist symbols can become fashion. I have seen the Imperial Japenese Navy flag on a t-shirt at cloths shop. To most people who are ignorant on WW2 history they just see a Japenese symbol and or with the Nazi symbol a skull with bones. I would have walked past the t-shirt with the Nazi symbol without giving a second look.

RD, u totally changed my mind too. I was all for setting fire to ASDA (British supermarket owned by Walmart) but now I realise that you are dead right!

Have you ever seen how many surveillance cameras they have outside?
It's utterly ridicolous, and that's like the first time I've gone in in well over a year.
I don't even remember the last time i bought something from there

Interesting so many people here have no idea about the deeper history behind the Totenkopf.
Frederick the Great, anyone? Basic German history, anyone?
Anyway...this is a National Socialist shirt...

What you posted was just some poorly made shirt made by Wal Mart. Honestly "Since 1973" some NAZI connections right there.

So you'd be alright if Wal Mart started selling shirts with swastikas on them, because of the pre-Nazi history of the swastika?Originally posted by CCCPneubauten@April 22, 2007 04:38 pm

“People think they have taken quite an extraordinarily bold step forward when they have rid themselves of belief in hereditary monarchy and swear by the democratic republic. In reality, however, the state is nothing but a machine for the oppression of one class by another, and indeed in the democratic republic no less than in the monarchy.”
- Friedrich Engels

My problem would be with people wanting to buy it.
the nazis, like the swastika, took the totenkopf symbol from cultures and used it in their own ranking code(to almost quote wikipedia), and there are still many shirts with the generic skull and crossbones on it around. Walmart made a stupid decision in making it the exact emblem, but, as i say with the swastica, its not a nazi sign, the nazis just took it....but in this case i guess it is. anyway, i wouldnt wear one, but i wouldnt mind someone else wearing one(provided it didnt have a swastika armband on it).
I'd at least tell the guy it was a nazi symbol. If he was still wearing it, I'd probably try to bweat some sense into him...

The Swastika and the Svasti are mirror images, physically, and idealogically.
