SWASTIKA = S letters for SOCIALISM on stamps, money, coins, etc

Swastikas were anti capitalist symbols for socialism and socialists.

Its crossed-S shape of SS meant the opposite of the U.S. dollar sign, or $.

Swastikas were used as alphabetical symbolism for "socialism" under the
National Socialist German Workers' Party and by American socialists for
decades before German socialists. http://rexcurry.net/swastika3clear.jpg

The dollar sign represented capitalism and economic freedom, and goods
and/or commodities of wealth and value (e.g. gold) that were used as money
in free trade.

The dollar sign derived a plural notation combining an "S" with the letter
"P" for pesos (Spanish) which were also called piastres, Spanish dollars,
and pieces of eight. The dollar sign represented multiple pieces of gold or
other precious metals used for money. The explanation was given in a book
called A History of Mathematical Notations, Volume II: Notations Mainly in
Higher Mathematics by Florian Cajori (published in 1929 and reprinted in
1952, by Open Court Press).

Socialists wanted to do away with capitalism and money. They failed in those
endeavors and most others. It is telling to note that the anti capitalists
not only maintained money but that their money bore their socialist symbol,
the swastika.

As with all of their socialist brethren, the horrid National Socialist
German Workers' Party hated capitalism. They wanted to do away with
capitalists. Even their anti-semitism was combined with their perception of
Jewish people as capitalists.

Even the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics used the swastika as its symbol
for socialism on its money, and it did so before the National Socialist
German Workers' Party.

Later, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics joined as allies with the
National Socialist German Workers' Party to invade Poland in 1939, in a pact
to divide up Europe (the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact), spreading World War II.

This is a stamps discussion ng, that's why just to mention stamps in the
subject line is not enough. For this reason please post in the future on
stamps related subjects.

A similar posting, but stamps related, appeared here some times ago, and it
was discussed (by myself and by other participants, if I remember well).
Therefore if you have something new, different, interesting about stamps,
you are welcome here.

Thank you!

Yes, that earlier discussion was fascinating. Thanks for the memories.
However, I think this post is different in that it involves another
advanced discussion of the swastika symbol on stamps as compared with,
or as a philosophical opposite of, the dollar sign (as a symbol of
capitalism). The earlier discussion was about the swastika as "S"
letters for "Socialism" under the National Socialist German Workers'
Party. This new post takes that amazing discovery by the symbologist
Dr. Rex Curry (author of Swastika Secrets) an additional step and
analyzes it as a deliberate attempted graphic adversary to the dollar
sign.

We philatelists are always interested in symbology on our stamps, and
their history in that regard.

In that sense it is philosophically similar to the web site you cite
about Communism on Stamps.

Although it is a wonder why you use the term "Communism" exclusively,
when Mao also promoted by word "socialism" and "socialists" as did the
"Union of Soviet Socialist Republics" (They did not call themselves
the Union of Soviet Communist Republics). Which is also another reason
for their use of the color red (a term used in your web site
address).

In a similar vein, swastikas were anti capitalist symbols for
socialism and socialists on stamps.
