Back of Early Soviet 5000 ruble banknote featuring three crossed 'S for Socialism' Swastikas:

Also, the Nazis supported a wide variety of socialist give-away and cradle-to-grave programmes. Thanks for posting this.

C’mon, there is not much difference between National Socialists and Soviet Socialists. They are both socialists. They were both terribly nationalistic.

Godwin’s Law: the first person to suggest Hitler or Nazis in a debate: loses.
Don’t be dumb.

There’s no debate - Godwin’s Law has nothing to do with my post.

(It's not a smear if it's true.)
The Nazis were a total rip off & repackaging of Leftist ideology & ideals. Though the Swastika itself goes back even further to ancient times & has been used (& is still used in Hindu religious symbolism) by a number of other cultures around the world.
To: Southack
Or, if you’d rather, it’s the Left that ‘mentioned’ Hitler and the Nazis in this context first. Perhaps you can remind them of Godwin’s Law.

Dare not we post a picture of American school children giving a raised arm “Hitler salute” to the US flag.
National Socialism was rave here in the USA under Roosevelt.
To me, the comparison is moot. The Globalist Socialist Nazi's of today wear Armani, ski in Aspen and sip Cristal.

The hackenkreutz or broken cross (swastika) was a common motif in German occultist beliefs, specifically the Thule Gesellschaft (Thule Society).

Thule Society is where Hitler picked it from I thought. Precursor and recruits to the brown shirts....correct?

I would say they borrowed it from the Navajo indians, theirs is the reverse of the German one.
My parents had a Navajo blanket that they picked up on their honeymoon in 1923 that was the swastica in reverse.

I trying to locate an image of an armband of police in South Africa that was similar. IIRC it had three black lines on a white circle in field of red.

Interesting. The rest of the lettering on the note is in Cyrillic. Why would "crossed "S' use the roman alphabet?
It's dated 1918. Note the two headed eagle on the obverse. I think this is a Czarist note.
My Russian isn't that good. Any Russian speakers on the thread who can help?

"Classical" Socialism/Communism is international and non-racist. National Socialism is what the name implies: Socialism combined with Nationalism and/or racism.
In the Soviet Union Trotsky was the proponent of the first, while Stalin was a National Communist. Nazism is typical leftist/statist policies combined with some right-wing ideological elements, foremostly Nationalism.

It’s definitely post Czarist, since they were deposed in 1917. These Soviet bank notes were designed after the Czarist reign and issued from later in 1917 until, I understand, 1922.

Godwin’s Law huh? Is that one of the 10 commandments? Did Newton leave that one out? Is it part of the theory of relativity? Does it have something to do with the relationship between spending and nominial GDP?
I didn’t think so. I think Godwin’s law is a remark made by some attorney. So forgive me if I don’t find its authority up their with the laws of God or science?
