More people - FAR more people in fact - died under the hammer and sickle than under the swastika.

Be they state socialists or national socialists, socialism sucks and murders millions.

With the swastika as the symbol of the rights hate then it stands to reason that the hammer & sickle stands for leftist hate.

Yes, in small groups communism can work in a sense, but not strictly as per theory. They are similar in that a tribe shares some resources, but there are key differences. A fundamental aspect of communism in large societies is the elimination of traditions and social classes. Small preindustrial tribes are held together by tradition, however, and each member has their own role, different from the others. Some are hunters, some are gatherers, some practice medicine, some make weapons, etc. And they each enjoy the perks of their social class. Communism is a society of drones, basically, all of equal social class.

I knew our American Indians had something of a swastika. It was used as good luck for a time in America.

This needs to be taught. The fact that it does indicates how far we’ve slipped.

>>As such, there is no justifiable way a fascist could argue ‘That wasn’t real Nazism.’ The same is not true for communism. Any shortcomings, tragedies, or crises a communist regime faces can always be blamed on a misapplication of Marx’s infallible roadmap to utopia.

They loved Mao, Castro, Stalin, Lenin, Ho Chi Min, Chavez, et al. They claim that any wrongs weren’t the fault of Communism.

They still honor these people when you aren’t looking and they encourage school children to give the finger to the 100,000,000 victims of vile Communist despotism.

We are told that SDS, Hanoi Jane, FTA, et al were “antiwar” but they didn’t decry North Vietnamese war crimes or urge them to choose “peace”.

They didn’t protest Chinese, Cuban, and Soviet aid to North Vietnam.

“anti-imperialism” is a lie, these Commies are quite okay with Communist imperialism and Islamic imperialism. It’s “Western imperialism” they oppose and they are enemies of the State.

Homofascist banner. It is a political symbol. It demands subservience and reverence to their agenda.

If you decry it you are a pariah.

Just 10 years ago even Obama and Hillary opposed same sex marriage when they were courting voters.

California's Prop 8 (Eliminates Rights of Same-Sex Couples to Marry. Initiative Constitutional Amendment) passed by popular vote in 2008.

The swastika has nothing to do with the right; it represents national SOCIALSM.

They know that changing the language shapes thought and vice versa. Change the language enough and an entire generation can be brainwashed. Propaganda is used because it works.

I am in no way supporting banning any symbols, swastika and pride included. Let them display their idiocy so that the normal people may keep away.

I think too that Nazis ought to be called racial collectivists.
