Hi Francisco,

Thank you for engaging in the discussion that is taking place. I wrote an answer to another reader that mostly encompasses my view on the subject. I don’t see the swastika as a fascist design per se but more the fruit of a deliberate subversion of an universal, originally beneficial image, probably created thousands of years ago by a common ancestor now lost and forgotten. More than socio-economic, the nazis’subversion of the swastika was conceived in the ‘magical’ realm of the world of ideas and dreams that change the world. It was also an attempt to stop culture, science, art in their tracks. The nazis had a triple goal with their imperial project had it succeeded in the end: first, they would remove kindness, compassion, love from the world. Second they would conquer the world and subject ‘non-Aryan’ people to slavery. Third they would use dark powers to create a new and evil world. This was not a socio-economic plan, but a diabolical one. this dimension has been missed when the study of that historical period considered only economics, socio-politics and most objective tools of research and study.
