November 17 (Greece)

17 Νοεμβρίου November 17 took its name from the date of an uprising of a group of students at the Polytechnical School in Athens in 1973. The student uprising was crushed by the Greek Military Junta (1967-1974) led by Colonel Georgios Papadopoulos, who had seized dictatorial powers in the coup d´état of 1967. The 17-N group was founded in 1975, one year after the fall of the military junta. Their first act of terrorism was the assassination of Richard Welch, the head of the CIA bureau in Athens. Over 21 people were later added to the murder and kill list of 17-N, including American, British and Turkish diplomats as well as Greek policemen, businessmen and politicians. The group was dismantled with the help of an international task force led by Scotland Yard in 2002. The leaders of the group were Alexandre Giotopoulos, arrested in 2002 on the Island of Lipsos, and Dimitris Koufondinas, known as "the man with a thousand faces," who surrendered to police the same year.

Army Comrades Association (Ireland)

National Guard - Blueshirts (Na Léinte Gorma) In 1932, a right-wing Irish organization, first called the Army Comrades Association (ACA), then the National Guard, and eventually merged into the Fine Gael Party, was started by Thomas F. O'Higgins and "General" Eoin O'Duffy, who where the first two leaders. Because the membership wore "St. Patrick´s blue," (sky blue) shirts, they soon became more popularly known by their nickname of "The Blueshirts." The Blueshirts, at least on the surface, appeared to be the Irish equivalent of the German Brownshirts or Italian Blackshirts; they wore paramilitary-style uniforms, greeted each other with Roman salutes, and participated in street violence and fights, usually against the IRA. Although they didn't seem to completely follow Fascist doctrine and didn't engage in political terrorism, the Blueshirts were declared an extremist and illegal organization by the Irish government. After the banning in 1933, the National Guard has merged into the newly founded Fine Gael party, with O'Duffy as its first president who, after serious disagreements with other party leaders, resigned in 1934 and left to form the National Corporate Party, an openly Fascist organization nicknamed the "Greenshirts", in 1935. Only a minority of former Blueshirts followed him; most of them remained in the Fine Gael, which soon distanced itself from the extremism and evolved into a modern party of the center-right, participating in several coalition governments, including the current one (2011-present). O'Duffy later led Irish volunteers to aid the Nationalists in the Spanish Civil War (1936-1937) and had contacts with the Third Reich until his death in 1944, but his "Greenshirt" party was defunct by the end of 1937. The actual flag the Greenshirts used is currently unknown, although one undocumented source indicates they simply used the traditional Saint Patrick's Cross/Saltire Flag. The Blueshirts´ flag, later also used briefly by the Fine Gael Party, was charged with the red saltire of St. Patrick on a field of light sky blue, the same color as used on the Blueshirts´ uniforms. Contemporary black and white photos clearly show flags with dark saltire on a light field that match their shirts, which were worn with dark ties, trousers and caps. The surviving Blueshirts' uniforms confirm the use of the light sky blue.

Anti-Fascist Action (Germany)

Antifaschistische Aktion Antifaschistische Aktion, an umbrella organization for militant anti-fascists in Germany, was formed in 1932. It was sometimes called "Antifa". Although it did not survive the war, local anti-fascist committees were formed across Germany, typically by veterans of this organization, as Nazi rule crumbled in 1944, under the name "Antifa".[1] These anti-fascist committees often included communists, social democrats, and progressive Christians.[2] AFA Type #6 AFA Type #7 The modern Germany movement most commonly associated with anti-fascism originated in the late 1980s, growing out of West Germany's squatter scene and autonomism movement.[5] This movement ultimately has its origins in the student-based Außerparlamentarische Opposition and the values associated with the new social movements. Unlike the 1930s Antifaschistische Aktion, which was linked to the Communist Party of Germany, concerned with industrial working-class politics against Hitler's NSDAP, the late 1980s and early 1990s "autonomists" were instead independent "anti-authoritarian" Libertarian Marxists and anarcho-communists, not associated with any particular party. It was after German reunification in 1990, that most of the Antifa groups were formed. AFA Type #8 AFA Type #9 AFA Type 10 AFA Type #11 In the 2010s, self-described antifa groups have become increasingly active in Western Europe and North America. These loose collectives first arose in the early 2010s in response to growing nationalism in countries including the United States, United Kingdom, Denmark, Germany, and France.

Legionary Action (Peru)

Acción Legionaria Legionary Action, popularly referred to as "The Black Shirts," is a fascist political organization in Peru founded on January 5, 2013. They trace their beginnings back to 1931 and the founding of the Revolutionary Union, a Peruvian political party founded by Luis Miguel Sànchez Cerro, the Brigade General of the Army of Peru. After Cerro's death it was led by Luis Alberto Flores Medina who has continued to followed Cerro's political philosophy. The modern AL's leaders include Lucio Rovegno, the paramount chief and highest authority of the organization and Enzo Fernandez Ciotola, who is the National leader of the Section of Press and Propaganda of Legionary Action. The AL is characterized by its opposition to liberalism and communism, and regards the current government as decadent and corrupt. Under the slogan "neither left nor right", they support "Peruvian fascism" (National Corporatism), which is a political, economic and social doctrine that seeks to "...rebuild the nationality through a social discipline and spiritual awareness, the harmonization of social classes and the corporate organization of the State." (i.e. a Fascist Dictatorship) There seem to be three different flags used by the Acción Legionaria at their public demonstrations: The Flag of the Legion "...flies next to our national flag in all demonstrations or events... It is a symbol of strength and past glories." The Flag of the Old Homeland is used to honor the successful overthrow of the Spanish in 1821 by José de San Martín and "...our heroes, Grau, Bolognesi, Quiñones, Cáceres." The Flag of the New Homeland is based on the flag used by the Peruvian people after 1824 when they formed an independent constitutional monarchy.





AfD Banner





AfD Flag



Alternative for Germany

Alternative für Deutschland AfD The Alternative for Germany (Alternative für Deutschland, AfD) is a right-wing political party in Germany, founded in February of 2013 by Bernd Lucke, Frauke Petry and Konrad Adam. In the same year the AfD founded a youth organization called the "Young Alternative for Germany" (Junge Alternative für Deutschland or JA), although not closely associating with its activities. The AfD is added to these extremist pages as a good example of how a right-wing political movement can become associated with extremist views and policies. The Afd began as a center-right conservative party of the middle class supporting a mild Euroscepticism (opposition to the European Union), against Germany using the Euro currency, against any economic bail out for countries such as Greece, and were opposed gay marriage. However the party soon became a magnet that attracted extremist, such as former members of National Democratic Party of Germany (NPD), and saw a shift to the extreme right with focus on issues such as anti-migration, Islam and strengthening ties to Russia. In May of 2015, Lucke and his followers left to found a new party, the Alliance for Progress and Renewal, citing the rise of xenophobic and pro-Russian sentiments in the party as the reason. After months of factional infighting Frauke Petry became the principal speaker. In 2016, Petry suggested several times in public shooting refugees at the borders to Germany and the AfD has since adopted a policy platform based upon opposition to Islam, calling for the ban of all Islamic symbols including burkhas, minarets and the call to prayer, using the slogan "Islam is not a part of Germany". Other party leadership has been guity of posting anti-Semitic comments on Facebook, and has been closely associated with PEGIDA (Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamisation of the West). The AfD's voiced desire to break with consensus-based politics and opposion to using politically correct terminology (claiming it undermines freedom of speech), does make it seem like much of the party has become a mouthpiece for right-wing populism in Germany. In March of 2016, a NSDAP-style banner was displayed by the party in Magdeburg, and although unofficial, it has not helped the AfD's overall image. Their blue and white official Party Flag does appear far less extremist in nature.





AF Flag



American Front (USA) American Front was founded in San Francisco, California in 1984, which now makes it one of the longest continuously running white supremacist groups in the USA. Its founder was Bob Heick who loosely modeled the AF after the British National Front. Beside California, it has been active mainly in Oregon and Florida. Its logo is a combination of Celtic cross and monogram AF, the latter often highlighted by using a different color (white over a gray Celtic cross, all on black field), but may also be conjoined into a single shape, which is how it is depicted on the flag, in light gray (perhaps meant to represent silver) on black field.

Anarchist Movements (worldwide) There are probably as many different kinds of Anarchist Movements as there are different ideologies or traditions in most normal societies. The term "anarchism" is basically used by people who want to abolish the government, abolish capitalism, abolish violence, abolish technology, abolish large-scale production, or abolish as existing society as whole. They seek to overturn, by violence if necessary, all constituted forms and institutions of society and government, with no plans for establishing any other system of order in the place of that destroyed. Basically, an anarchist is a person who promotes disorder or revolt against any established rule, law, or custom. Anarchist Flag

The generic ones can be found with a large variety of defacements, usually with white lettering, messages, or emblems. The flag of the Youth International Party (late 1960s-early 1970s) is an especially interesting combination: black field for anarchy, red star of socialism, and green Marijuana leaves. Not surprising since the party leaders were Abby Hoffman and Jerry Rubin.

Anarcho-Feminists Flag Type #2

(possibly flown upside down)



Anarcho-Feminists Flags (worldwide) The Anarcho-Feminism movement (Anarcha-feminism, anarchist feminism) basically combines anarchism with feminism. It views all "male dominated" society (patriarchies) as an "involuntary and coercive hierarchy" that should be replaced by "decentralized free association." Anarcho-feminists believe that the struggle against patriarchy is an essential part of class struggle and the state. Anarcho-Feminists Flag Type #3

Anarcho-Capitalist Flag

("A over C" variant)



Anarcho-Capitalists/Market Anarchists (worldwide) Anarcho-capitalism (also known as Free-Market Anarchism, Market Anarchism, Anarcho-Syndicalism, Private-Property Anarchism, and a host of other names) basically wants some sort of stateless society, where an economic system based on uncontrolled market interactions exist without regulation. Within these divergent groups there are a multitude of views on property and labor relations that differ significantly, and while many consider themselves simply anti-capitalists and oppose private ownership of the means of production, others stress the necessity of protecting private property, describing this as an integral component of individual rights and a free market economy. In short, there seems to be little agreement among the groups about what happens when government ceases to exist, nor the means of accomplishing it. Black Gadsden Flag Tactical Gadsden Flag In the United States combining the Market Anarchist Flag with the Gadsden Flag favored by the Tea Party seems to have caught on, although no connection between the two groups is apparent, and many variant designs exist. The Market Anarchist flag is also known as the "Black & Gold" or "Black & Yellow" flag, with the black representing Anarchy and the yellow/gold representing physical gold itself. Another Anarcho-Capitalist flag to gain popularity in recent years is black, and charged with the golden letters A over C in the center. The symbol is clearly derived from Anarchist symbol of the encircled A.

Anti-Fascist Action (France)

Action antifasciste The Anti-Fascist Action (Action antifasciste), founded in 2008, is a network of French autonomous (extreme-leftist) antifascist groups. These groups and their members are known as antifas. The French antifas are "affiliated" to an informal group of similar movements that emerged all over Europe (Denmark, Netherlands, Sweden, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Spain etc.) in the 1990s. They are based on the German Communist Antifaschistiche Aktion movement of the 1930s which was crushed by the Nazis after they got into power in 1933. Their main goal is to get rid extreme-rightist and neo-Nazi movements, stopping at nothing, including street violence and illegal acts. The main flag of Action antifasciste is red with the movement's logo, a red and a black flag placed on a white disk surrounded by a black ring charged with the name of the organization, written in white letters. The emblem is a modernization of the one used by the German Antifaschstische Aktion in the 1930s, originally with two red flags and a red ring. The black color was added by the modern antifa movements, symbolizing the union of Communists and Anarchists against Fascists. The flags with black field are also used, sometimes with the swapped places of two flags in the logo. Breton Antifas Flag

Type #1 Breton Antifas Flag

Type #2 Most European antifa movements use the same emblem and flag, with appropriate modifications. The flags of Breton branch of Action Antifasciste are good example of this. Notice the black flag has been replaced by a Breton flag, placed in front of the red flag. On the first flag, the ring bears the shorter name of the group Breizh Antifa. On the second one, the full name is inscribed in both Breton (Breizh Enepfaskour) and French (Bretagne Antifasciste).





ACA Flag (type #1)

ACA Flag (type #4)



Anti-Communist Action (USA) The Anti-Communist Action ("Anticom" for short) is a neo-Nazi group who attempts to represent themselves as not being neo-Nazi, but their philosophy is generally indistinguishable from various other white supremacist and neo-Nazi organizations. The group name is an inversion of Anti-Racist Action (ARA), historically the largest network of anti-racist and anti-fascist dedicated to confronting the far-right and disrupting their events and rallies in the world. However, the main purpose of Anticom seems quite the oposite, as they serve as an "anti-communist" front for the wider internet-based neo-Nazi movement. They encourage confronting the far-left and disrupting their events and rallies through direct action, including violence. On the Discord servers they seem to associate themselves closely with groups like Vanguard America, the TWP, and Identity Europa. As part of the broader white nationalist Alt-Right Movement, Anticom members were a visible presence at the nationally televised Charlottesville Riots of 2017. The black and yellow colors used on their flags are those of libertarianism and is reminiscent of various Imperial German era flags. A variation of this flag (type #2) features a Hughes 500 helicopter dropping a figure from the sky, a reference to brutal tactics of suppressing dissent used by Augusto Pinochet. The falling person that appears in the logo, actually depicts a "death flight" which was a form of killing practised by South American military forces where victims were dropped to their death from airplanes or helicopters. A third variant of the Anti-Communist Action Flag places a new version of their Anticom logo centered on a yellow field. A stylized black and gold stars and stripes is the main design featured on this new logo, circled in black with the words Anti-Communist Action in white block letters. A variant of the Anti-Communist Action Flag (type #4) features in the logo a version of the twin flags with a silhouette of a Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk, a more modern helicopter than the Hughes 500 used in the earlier flag (type #2), but still based on the same brutal tactics of execution of rivals. This bed sheet version (logo centered on a plain white flag) of the Anticom flag is similar in general design to that used by such extreme-leftist opposition groups as the Anti-Fascist Action in France and other similar groups in Europe.





APL Flag

"The Grain and Gear"



American Party of Labor (USA) The American Party of Labor (APL) is a Communist organization started in the United States in 2007. The party platform was established at the new Party's First General Congress on December 6, 2008, held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Although the party claims membership across the United States, the largest party activity seems to be in the Atlanta and Milwaukee areas. The current APL General Secretary is Alexander I. Serpov. Although the APL has not been linked with any violent activities, the party draws its inspiration from the teachings of Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin and Hoxha and calls for a workers' revolution to end national control of the rich "ruling class." APL activities include a webpage, a newspaper called "The Red Phoenix," and the Red Star Library where they maintain a collection of Marxist-Leninist texts assembled or published by the APL to promote their version of Marxist-Leninist history and theory. The APL version of "Marxism-Leninism" seems to be closer to that of "Stalinism" and the "Hoxhaism" of Enver Hoxha of Albania. The APL party calls its red flag "The Grain and Gear" because an ear of grain and a incomplete gear wheel are combined with the star of Communism into their emblem.





ARNE Flag



Ecuadorian Nationalist Revolutionary Action (Ecuador)

Acción Revolucionaria Nacionalista Ecuatoriana The Acción Revolucionaria Nacionalista Ecuatoriana (ARNE) was a political movement founded in 1942; it was organized and militant, strongly doctrinaire; very unlike other movements and Ecuadorian political parties of the period who lacked a proper structure. In 1942, a group of students founded the "Companies Functional National Revolutionary Offensive" (CONDOR). This organization soon became the ARNE political movement, which supported revolutionary nationalism - Falange, fascism, etc. It was led by George Moon Yépes and under his leadership developed very rapidly among young Catholics and the industrial sectors. ARNE is regarded as one of the three major political forces of Ecuador in the second half of the 20th century. However in 1979, with the fall of the dictators, ARNE was denied legal recognition, and although somewhat active during the early 80s it never again was a political force of any importance.





ANSP Flag



American National Socialist Party (USA) In this country, the neo-Nazis keep splitting up and forming new factions. The American National Socialist Party (ANSP) is one such splinter group. Their motto is "Raising up from the ashes, rebuilding the white race, one person at a time." They maintain several similar websites including "the one and only true Aryan Nations," and another for a youth group called "The Werewolf Youth Legion." They are headquartered in Chillicothe, Ohio. The ANSP flag is slightly reminiscent of the flag of the short-lived West German Socialist Reich Party of Germany of the early 1950s. It has a red field with a fearsome-looking black eagle centered on it. The eagle is defaced with a crossed sword and lightning bolt providing a frame for the red letters ANSP.

Action Front Nationalist/National Activists (Germany)

Aktionsfront Nationaler Sozialisten/Nationale Aktivisten The Aktionsfront Nationaler Sozialisten/Nationale Aktivisten (ANS-NA) was a very active and violent German neo-Nazi organization. They were originally founded in 1977 by Michael Kühnen under the name of the "Action Front of National Socialists" (ANS). By 1979, their violent policies resulted in most of their leaders being arrested and jailed. In 1983, they merged with the Nationale Aktivisten (National Activists), an organization led by Thomas Brehl, and combined the names to form the Action Front of National Socialists/National Activists, or ANS/NA. The ANS/NA was in turn banned in 1983. At the time it had about 240 members. The group used two different flags. One had a black-white-red horizontal triband with a rune-like "S" in the center; the other was a variant of the National Socialist flag called the "reverse swastika." It is the red flag with the white disk, in which a hidden white swastika appears in parts with black accents in the background, shown to the left. Squint your eyes and you'll begin to make out the hidden white swastika.

German American Bund 1936-1941 (USA)

Amerikadeutscher Volksbund (AV) The German American Bund (AV), or "German American Federation," was a pre-World War II American Nazi organization active in New York between 1936-1939, whose roots can be found in the earlier Teutonia Club (1924-1933) and in the FDND ("Friends of New Germany" - Freunde Des Neue Deutschland) movement between 1933-1936. An internal power struggle fought for control over the Friends in 1934 resulted in Heinz Spanknöbel, Alter Kämpfer, and Fritz Julius Kuhn starting the new German American Bund in Buffalo, New York. The Bund established training camps in New Jersey, New York, and Wisconsin. Fritz Julius Kuhn was named Bund Leader (Bundesfûhrer), and under his leadership the Bund held rallies complete with Nazi insignia, emblems and rituals. They vocally attacked and held demonstrations against Jews, Communist, trade unions and the Roosevelt administration. In the process they claimed their main goal was to promote a favorable view of Nazi Germany. However, the Bund received no financial or verbal support from Germany, and in 1938, the Nazi government actually declared that no Nazi emblems could be used by the organization. This was done to distance Germany from the Bund which had become an embarrassment to the then current German government policies with some of its rhetoric and actions. Naturally, the AV's public activities pretty well ended with the declaration of war against Nazi Germany in December of 1941. The first two Bund flags shown here were seen at German-American Bund activities in New Jersey and in New York City. The second flag seems to have been modeled after German military flags. Naturally, there were also large displays of both the Stars and Stripes and the NSDAP Swastika flag displayed at AV events. The activities of the German-American Bund included several Bund Youth Groups, or DJ (Jugendschaft), who had (assumed) unit flags on black fields mirroring the German Youth Troop flags (Fahnleinfahne). These unit flags were of simple design and consisted of a single runic "S" thunderbolt on a black background. (The assumption they were unit colors is based on the fact that this flag many times had unit numbers inscribed in red in the canton) The second type of Bund Youth Group flag consisted of a white runic "S" thunderbolt centered on the black field, surrounded by a white circle which was centered on a white cross. This elongated banner seemed to have served the purpose of a general Bund Jugendschaft, or house flag, since no unit designations were present.

(Calgary, Canada)



Afrikaner Resistance Movement (South Africa)

Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging Essentially a variation on the swastika, and popular for that reason, the triskele was a symbol occasionally used by the Nazi regime, most notably as the insignia for a Waffen SS division composed of Belgian volunteers. After World War II, the "Three Sevens" version of the triskele was popularized by white supremacists in Europe and South Africa. The symbol is also used as part of the logo of the international racist skinhead group, "Blood & Honour." The Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging (Afrikaner Resistance Movement) or AWB, is a far right political organization and former paramilitary group in South Africa under the leadership of EugÃƒÂ¨ne Terre'Blanche. The AWB claims that the three sevens symbolized supremacy over the devil. They are committed to the restoration of an independent Boere-Afrikaner republic or "Boerestaat" within South Africa. In their heyday they received much publicity both in South Africa and abroad as an extremist white supremacist group. The AWB Flag (Type #2) was introduced in 1979, but was withdrawn from official use after a short time in favor of already well-established flag with three 7's. The star was said to have represented the Star of Bethlehem, and the Christianity in general. The flag with three 7's (Type #1) was the original flag of the movement; although it was replaced with the flag charged with the stars and letters AW in 1979, it was reintroduced in same year and used ever since. The flag was designed by Jan Groenewald, one of the founders of the movement, and slightly modified by Dries Albert, who was in charge of the movement's propaganda. According to Groenewald himself, the inspiration for the design did come from the Nazi flag, however, the three digits were always described as a Christian symbol, the number 777 having been described as the biblical symbol of perfection and of God himself, as opposed to the number 666 which symbolizes the Antichrist. According to Groenewald, the color red on the flag stood for blood, white stood for the purity of the White race, and black stood for bravery. The previous national flag of the South Africa was not much used by the AWB, having been generally considered the symbol of subjugation of Boer independence by the British Empire, so the flags of Boer republics were usually used instead. A flag derived from the national flag was used sometimes, on which the Union Jack was replaced with the AWB flag. The reverse of this flag was not identical to the front because three 7's were not mirrored, although the position of the whole AWB flag was (flags of the Boer republics were mirrored completely). Modern White Supremacist supporters still occasionally fly a flag with a Nazi-like death head skull centered over the "Three Sevens" symbol. Its most recent appearance is in Canada, where it is being used the neo-Nazi group "Blood and Iron," a successor group to the Aryan Guard, under the leadership of Kyle McKee, who has been called the "micro-furhrer of Calgary" by the police.





ASF Flag





ASF Flag (variant) Afrikaner Student Federation (South Africa)

Afrikaner Studentebond The odal rune is used by the South African African Student Federation. It is the last letter of futhark, the "modern" 16 letter viking rune set. It was originally used by ethnic Germans (Volksdeutsche) from the Yugoslavia SS-regiment (The 7. SS Freiwillingen-Gebirgs - Division Prinz Eugen) operating during World War II in the Nazi Germany sponsored State of Croatia. Today the odal rune is widely used by right-wing nationalist youth groups like the Wiking Jugend in Germany and other counties. It was banned in Germany in 1994. The flag used by the Wiking Jugend was black with a red odal rune in its center. The odal Rune is sometimes referred to as "Odin's Rune." It is a symbol of a Pagan Religion called Odinism. Neither the religion nor the symbol is racist, but both have been co-opted by certain sectors of the Far Right.





AHF Flag





DHF Flag



All-Germanic Heathens Front & German Heathens Front (Germany)

Allgermanische Heidnische (AHF) & Deutsche Heidnische Front (DHF) The Allgermanische Heidnische Front (AHF) was a far right militant Neopagan international organization espousing a philosophy influenced by Ásatrú (Odinism). Notice the strong resemblance of their flag to the flag of the Hitler Jugend, with the alghiz rune replacing the swastika. The AHF was founded and initially led by Norwegian black metal musician and heathen Varg Vikernes, who founded the Norsk Hedensk Front (Norwegian Heathen Front), which soon evolved into the AHF. (Varg Vikernes later ceased to be involved with the organization) The group seek to restore ancient Germanic religion of Odinism and was strongly anti-Semitic. In 2001, the AHF claimed chapters in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, Germany, the USA, Canada, Russia, and Flanders, but since 2006, the Allgermanische Heidnische Front is apparently defunct. The German chapter, Deutsche Heidnische Front (DHF), was founded in 1998 by avowed neo-Nazi Hendrik Möbus. The group publishes a magazine Tuisto, which deals with pagan, cultural and historical themes. Their flag's central image is the Eye of Wotan (Odin), and like the AHF flag, also uses the algiz rune, in this case both upright and reversed.

Italian Social Republic Flag

1944-45 American Fascist Movement Flags (USA) Lawrence Dennis, an American diplomat and author, advocated fascism and talked of founding the "American Fascist Party" in the years following the Great Depression, but the group never materialized. Dennis and others were later tried for sedition under the Smith Act in what became known as "The Great Sedition Trial of 1944." The case ended in a mistrial when the judge died of a heart-attack. The presence or absence of elements of fascism in the United States since World War II has been a matter of continuing dispute. Groups identified as neo-fascist in the United States generally include neo-Nazi organizations such as the National Alliance and the American Nazi Party. Some say the Fascist Movement is a secret group of Americans who want a strong military government to take control of the United States and put down the protesters, greeners, and ultra-liberals. Others say an American Fascist party doesn't actually exist and its name is used just as a marketing ploy to sell Fascist memorabilia. On their website, the current American Fascist Movement claims to be against racism and Nazism, materialism, globalism, capitalism and communism, and superficiality. They claim they are for meritocracy, timocracy, sacrifice, nationalism, cooperation (State Corporatism), and virtue. A large section of their website is dedicated to merchandising. It is also interesting to note, that at the American Fascist Movement's website store, three flags are offered for sale, including a modern replica of the "Italian Social Republic Flag (1944-45)," a modern variant of the "Italian National Fascist Party Flag (1922-1943)," and what appears to be an Italian national flag with the fasces superimposed in black on the white vertical stripe.





AIB Flag



Brazilian Integralist Action (Brazil)

Ação Integralista Brasileira (AIB) The Ação Integralista Brasileira (AIB), also called the "Green Shirts" after their uniform shirt color, was a fascist movement founded in 1932 by Plínio Salgado after the 1930 revolution that brought Getúlio Vargas to power. Vargas banned all parties in 1937 and foiled an Integralist plot to seize power by force during the 1938 elections by declaring a state of siege. The AIB was revived in the guise of the PRP, one of the legal parties permitted after World War II, which were in turn abolished when the armed forces seized power from the elected civilian government in 1964. Plínio Salgado was an admirer of Mussolini and Hitler. He tried to adapt some of the Nazi-Fascist elements into Integralism. The Green Shirts had a salute similar to the Nazi salute, but instead of the straight hand, they pointed the palm of the hand to the front and said "Anaue," meaning "You are my brother" in the native indian Tupi language.

American Nazi Party (USA) The American Nazi Party, founded by George Lincoln Rockwell in 1959 and led by him until his death, had a flag like that of Nazi Germany with a small blue globe in the center of the swastika, representing the world being consumed by the swastika. The depiction of the globe on party flag and emblem varied: sometimes it was showing only the North America and some of neighboring regions, but it was sometimes also showing all continents, together with the meridians and parallels as in the current United Nations flag, and there were few of its depictions as in the original United Nations flag. On many occasions, the globe was simplified to a blank solid blue circle, as can be seen in some early color photographs. Rockwell initially called his party the "World Union of Free Enterprise National Socialists" (WUFENS), but later renamed it the American Nazi Party in 1960 to attract maximum media attention. The party, headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, largely based its platform upon the ideals and policies of Adolf Hitler's NSDAP, but added a policy of Holocaust denial, and expressed allegiance to the Constitutional principles of the American Founding Fathers. ANP Banner

(also used by the new ANP) ANP Banner

(Used in October 1961 demonstration) In a "Keep the Redskins White!" demonstration members of the American Nazi Party demonstrated against desegregating the Washington Redskins football team in October of 1961. At the time the Washington DC pro-football team was the last remaining all-white team in the league, and although desegregated today, it remains the only team in the NFL whose name is considered a racial slur. In 1965, Rockwell ran for the governor of Virginia, finishing last among the four candidates. Although the ANP had already existed for six years, he ran as an independent candidate, probably in order to make himself more acceptable to the voters, and used a flag in his campaign which was derived from the Confederate flag by replacing the stars with the words ROCKWELL GOVERNOR in white. The flag was actually made from a real Confederate flag on which the stars were painted into blue before the letters were added. In 1967, Rockwell was killed by John Patler, a former party member whom Rockwell had ejected from the party for allegedly trying to introduce Marxist doctrine into the party's platforms. The ANP name was changed to the National Socialist White People's Party (NSWPP) in 1967 shortly before Rockwell's assassination. The so-called Bicentennial Flag of the National Socialist White Peoples Party was first seen in a demonstration in 1976 on the Fourth of July outside the White house. The NSWPP party claimed the flag celebrated America's Bicentennial and had nothing to do with any bicentennial of the National Socialist Movement which, of course, began in 1919. The red-white-blue Bicentennial flag was designed by Matt Koehl, the current leader of both the New Order and the World Union of National Socialists (WUNS). Koehl has a long history of being in leadership positions in various extremist groups, including the National Renaissance Party (NRP), the United White Party (UWP), the National States' Rights Party (NSRP), and the American Nazi Party (ANP). In August 1967, Koehl succeeded the George Lincoln Rockwell as "Commander" of the National Socialist White People's Party (NSWPP), and renamed it the "New Order" in 1983. By then, several splits resulted in formation of new neo-Nazi groups, mostly due to Koehl's policies, based on his vision of Nazism as a religious movement rather than a political one. Since mid-1980s, the New Order has been headquartered in New Berlin, Wisconsin, preaching Nazism as a pseudo-religion, without any public political activities. Today, the name "American Nazi Party" has been adopted by an organization led by Rocky J. Suhayda, a former member of Rockwell's original party in 1960s, and headquartered in Westland, Michigan. Rocky Suhayda was later affiliated with a group in Detroit called the SS Action Group led By Ted Dunn in the 1980s. Dunn ran a kind of a soup kitchen operation feeding those who "fought" under his leadership. The new group claims George Lincoln Rockwell as their founder, but there seems no actual connection to the original ANP, apart from the fact that their website sells nostalgic reprints of Rockwell's 1960s-era magazine "The Stormtrooper" and replica flags of the original party. The new American Nazi Party uses a version of the original ANP Flag (shown top left, with blue UN-style globe) on their website and a vertical banner (shown left) at their rallies. However, a few years ago, they sold flags of various countries and states with a swastika superimposed on their designs, including the 13-star United States flag shown on the left.





al-Qaeda Flag





Syria-Iraq al-Qaida Flag





Syria-Iraq Isis/Isil Flag



al-Qaeda "The Base" (Saudi Arabia)

Islamic State of Iraq ISIS or ISIL (Iraq and Syria)

al-Qaeda/ad-Dawla al-Islamiyya fi al-'Iraq wa-sh-Sham/Da'ash This flag sometimes has been used by cells of the extremist Arab terrorist organization al-Qaeda, who have been responsible for many senseless bombings and deaths. It is black with the "long version" of the Shahada in a yellowish color and a yellowish circle in the center. A variant has the lettering and circle in white. The flag is never flown, but usually hung on a wall. This flag was used in the background of several beheading videos. In the videos it is not clear enough to tell whether the lettering and circle is white or yellow, but it probably differs depending on who made the particular flag. The flags are not machine-produced, but hand-made, usually from two pieces of black nylon with embroidered lettering and circle. The second flag shown here is an example of an al-Qaeda flag that is seen in many parts of the Middle East, with variants displaying differing Arabic text. Normally the text on the top reads "There is no god but God." The white circle appearing in the center with inscription Muhammad Rasul Allah is the seal of Messenger of God which he used on his letters. The text on the bottom of this example reads: "The Islamic State of Iraq and Ash-Sham." What started in Saudi Arabia, gradually spread to western Iraq and Syria with violent extremist groups forming the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ad-Dawla al-Islamiyya fi al-'Iraq wa-sh-Sham), abbreviated as ISIS or ISIL (Da'ash). In 2006, ISIS, acting as an umbrella organization for the Iraqi insurgent groups started by al-Qaida supporters and members, and taking advantage of the weakness of the states of Iraq and Syria following the Iraq Wars, managed to seize a fairly large portion of the area. What followed was a senseless regime of terror and destruction, resulting in the deaths of thousands of innocent people and the desecration of many irreplaceable historical monuments. Massive amounts of Syrians and Iraqi fled the war torn area resulting in a world wide refugee crisis. The symbolism (in particular in the black flag and so-called seal of Muhammad) are modern-era inventions of jihadists that have neither historical basis nor Islamic tradition truly supporting them.





The Aryan Fist



Aryan Fist (USA) The Aryan Fist symbol is a twist on the fist representing the Black power movement and the battle against racial oppression. White Power (U.S. Nazi Skins) uses a logo consisting of a white fist upwards on a black field. The Aryan fist is a symbol of white power used by hate groups who promote their racist agenda as white pride activism. The laurel wreath appearing in the "Aryan fist" Flag is actually not a racist symbol itself, but rather a separate common skinhead symbol stemming from the logo of a line of British clothing that became popular among skinheads. It is the white fist itself that is the symbol of intolerance.





AWD Flag



Atomwaffen Division (US) The Atomwaffen Division (AD), or Atomic Weapons Division (AWD), is a neo-Nazi terrorist, alt-right network, consisting of small groups mostly located in the Southern United States. They first appeared in 2015, but have since spread into pockets across the United States and even attracted followers in Canada, the United Kingdom, and reportedly even in Germany. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) "...members of the Atomwaffen Division have been held responsible for a number of murders, planned terrorist attacks, as well as other criminal actions." The AWD flag is black, bearing a yellow saltire with arms widening towards the flag corners. Centered on the saltire is their logo consisting of a black shield fimbriated white and black. It is charged with the radiation hazard symbol in white. The shield is surrounded by an "endless" laurel wreath in white with black outline.

Aryan Nations (USA) Aryan Nations (AN) is a white nationalist neo-Nazi organization founded in the 1974 by Richard Girnt Butler as the political arm of the Church of Jesus Christ-Christian (CJCC). As of December 2007 there were two main factions that claimed descent from Butler's group. Aryan Nations was called a "terrorist threat" by the FBI, and the RAND Corporation called it the "first truly nationwide terrorist network." The organization has been at the center of violent racist activity since its inception in 1974. During the 1980s and early 1990s, neo-Nazis, racist skinheads, Klansmen and other white nationalists convened regularly at the Aryan Nations Idaho compound for its annual "World Congress." However, during the early 2000s the group lost a very costly civil lawsuit against the Southern Poverty Law Center that depleted the AN´s finances, and a slow decline followed that cumulated with the 2004 death of their founder Richard Butler. Today Aryan Nations has splintered into several smaller groups with various people in competition for the leadership of the movement. The "Shield" Banner

(unbordered Variant) The "Shield" Banner

(Bordered Variant) The AN flag has appeared in both a square and rectangular shape, and is sometimes displayed with a gold fringe when used indoors. The square variant is called the Aryan Nations "Shield" and was carried in demonstrations in the form of a vertical banner. The AN also used a stripped version of the AN flag, as well as re-purposing for their demonstrations the more traditional Confederate Naval Ensign, the Christian Church Flag, and various versions of the Confederate Stars and Bars. The Aryan Nations also uses several white fielded flags: the first charged with "The Shield" and the second charged with an alternate emblem (sword over the letter N, both in blue, surrounded with a bicolor ring, top half of which is red and charged with the inscription ARYAN NATIONS, and bottom half is blue and charged with the inscription OUR RACE IS OUR NATION; the tip of the sword is set over the bottom of the ring, dividing it into two). Werewolf Youth Legion Flag CJCC/AN-WYL Pennant The Werewolf Youth Legion (CJCC/AN-WYL) is the Aryan Nations Youth division whose purpose is to attract and sell to American youths the doctrines of their versions of National Socialism and White Supremacy.

This group was very active hanging a wide variety of hate posters in the streets of cities like Madrid and Sevilla in the early 1990s

Autonomous Bases (Spain)

Bases Autónomas (BBAA) The Spanish red-yellow-red flag defaced with a Celtic Cross (Sun Wheel) and/or a Carlist-like double eagle are flags of Bases Autónomas (BBAA), a loose almost defunct neo-Nazi organization. Although the BBAA disbanded, some sleeper cells are rumored to still exist in several cities, especially Madrid and Burgos. Most of the militant leaders of this neo-Nazi, anarchist, violent and clandestine organization now conduct their militant activities from within other groups, such as Resistance, the DN, NuevOrden, Falangists and the Revolutionary Nationalist Coordinator. Some BBAA-like Spanish cell organizations still exist, such as Hermandad Nacionalsocialista Armagedón (Armageddon National Socialist Brotherhood), which is active in the Valencia area and split from Acción Radical in 1998. The Armageddon Brotherhood has claimed responsibility for Molotov cocktail attacks against branches of the Popular, Socialist and Izquierda Unida parties in some towns near Valencia. Other variant flags reported as being used by the Bases Autónomas Other rumors about the Bases Autónomas still circulate, such as ex-members of this defunct Spanish hate organization still allegedly having links to other fascist groups still operating in Italy. These various variants of their flags are still manufactured for ignorant tourists who still buy them as historical Spanish flags in souvenir shops throughout Spain.





Black Muslim Flag



Black Muslim Movement Flag (USA) Today, the Black Moslems are known as the "Nation of Islam" and are directed by Reverend Louis Farrakhan. They are not the militant organization of the past. In the early 60s, the Black Muslims were very active and violent extremist. In fact, Middle East Muslims rejected the American Black Muslim version of Islam, which was pretty much just a hate the white man movement. Malcolm X, perhaps their most well-known leader, eventually abandoned many of these violent ideas and converted to true Sunni Islam. Because of this, he was gunned down in a mosque by two black men wielding shotguns. Today, they describe their flag as "the symbol of unity of all Muslims throughout the World." It basically is a mirrored version of the Turkish national flag with an enlarged crescent and star. The star is oriented with two points inside the crescent. The symbols of the sun, moon, and the stars, represent the universe. The flag differs slightly from their logo which has the individual letters "F, J, E, and I" placed in the four corners. They are said to stand for Freedom, Justice and Equality, and Islam.





BM Flag





BM Ceremonial Flag



The British Movement (United Kingdom)

British National Socialist Movement The British Movement (BM) was founded in 1968, by the former members of the British National Socialist Movement (BNSM), a similar organization founded in 1962. Active all through the 1970s, the group collapsed as a cohesive group in early 1980s, but remnants have managed to survive until the present time. Its flag is blue, charged with a red sun cross, or "sunwheel", on a white disc. Blue armbands with the same design were used. This flag has occasionally seen more recent use by the British National Party (BNP). The BM also used a ceremonial flag, or banner, which they called the "Honour Standard". It was charged with a white inscription BRITAIN (above) and another white inscription AWAKE (beneath) the sunwheel, and it had a white fringe. It was usually flown from a staff with the crossbar. A sunwheel style finial and name plate with the initials BM were usually mounted above the banner. Sometimes another similar name plate was attached beneath on the staff. It was, of course, designed to be similar to the ceremonial banner used by the German National Socialist Movement (NSDAP) and helped identify the British Movement with its German predecessor. This ceremonial design was also used on hand-held flags.





BNP Flag 1982





BNP Flag 1999



British National Party (Great Britain) The British National Party is a far-right political party founded by John Tyndall in 1982 by merging several similar fascist parties including the old National Front. The BNP identified with Nazism with its activities, associations and publications, and its active denial of the Holocaust. Tyndall exclaimed "Mein Kampf is my bible." In 1999, Nick Griffin became the new leader of the BNP party and continued its policies of right-wing populism, white nationalism, and calling for "ethnic cleansing." Although the BNP has described itself as British nationalist, racial nationalist and "ethno-nationalist." They still call for a "voluntary resettlement" of all immigrants and their descendants back to the countries of their origins, support all anti-immigration policies, demand a return of capital punishment, oppose all forms of gay and same-sex marriage, and what they call the "Islamification" of the UK. In recent years the party has also concentrated on opposing Islam and actively campaigns against the establishment of mosques, halal meat and what it calls the "Islamification" of the United Kingdom. The original BNP party flag had a white circle centered on a blue field, with the block letters "BNP" in red centered in the circle. After Nick Griffin took over the leadership of the party the flag was design was changed to a plain white field, less bold lettering in red with a blue circle drawn around it.

Black Panther Party (USA) The Black Panther Party, originally known as the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense, was an African-American revolutionary leftist organization founded in Oakland, California, by Huey Newton and Bobby Seale in 1966. The Black Panther Party achieved national and international notoriety through its involvement in the Black Power movement and in U.S. politics of the 1960s and 70s. The organization initially claimed to be protecting the African American neighborhoods from police brutality, but the leaders soon claimed to be followed Socialist and Maoist Communist doctrines. It was active in the United States from 1966 until 1982. Black Panther with yellow background Black Panther with white background Although the Black Panthers were not noted for showing flags at their many rallies and demonstrations, the flag that is still most associated with them is the Afro-American Flag. Another popular flag featured the springing black panther (the party logo designed by Emory Douglas) under the words "Free Huey", which was used at demonstrations against Newton's imprisonment. A variant of the flag made a reappearance at the 40th Reunion of the Black Panther Party on September 15, 2006, in Oakland, California. A plain flag with just the springing Black Panther logo centered on it was used by the Lumpen, a music band which publicly supported the party c1970, and also at George Jackson's Funeral in Oakland (shot to death by prison guards in San Quentin Prison during an escape attempt) in 1971. Over the years there have been many variants of the springing panther flag with differing fonts and panther designs. Because of the use of black and white photography during the Panther's heyday, many photos of the black panther flag appear to show white or gray background, although the flags frequently had light blue or even yellow fields. The yellow used was the same as used on the Gadsen Flag, which in the sixties and seventies was used by radicals at opposite end of the spectrum than today's Tea Party. The light blue used was the same as used on the Viet Cong flag. The last variant shown at the left is an Afro-American Flag with the addition of a red star on the black strip that was reportedly seen in Oakland in 1989 at the funeral of Huey Newton. It also saw use by the African People's Socialist Party (APSP), another Black Power party founded in 1972, as well as by the African Socialist International (ASI), which was founded by the APSP in 1982.





Sun Wheel Flag







Sun Wheel Flag

(Red variant)



The Black Sun

Schwarze Sonne The Black Sun, or Sun Wheel, is an occult symbol modeled after the central pattern of the floor mosaic in a hall of Wewelsburg Castle in Germany. Construction of a planned cult center for the German SS forces was planned there by Heinrich Himmler, but never completed. It is not known whether or not the mosaic was placed on the floor during the work on the hall between 1938-1943, or if it was there previously. Some scholars have tried to trace it back to the late Roman and early medieval periods, but this all remains speculation. The symbol has, however, been adopted by neo-Nazi groups and placed on a variety of flags. The name Schwarze Sonne (Black Sun) came into use after World War II. It is not known what the original Nazis occult name for the symbol was or what it actually stood for. It was especially promoted by Miguel Serrano, an esoteric neo-Nazi writer from Chile, as the symbol of an invisible source of spiritual energy which would repurify the blood of Aryans and bring on a new Golden Age. Serrano claimed that Aryans were descendants of extragalactic beings called Hyperboreans and they could restore their "blood-memory" in the light of the "Black Sun." In 2016, the symbol colored in red also appeared on a flag with a black field. The flag was square, or nearly square, and photographed in Roussillon, France, most likely used by members of the French Nationalist Party (Also see Irminsul Symbol on this page). The ratio of the symbol on the red variant also seemed to be slightly larger than in general use.





The Branch Flag



The Branch Davidians (USA) This is the flag flown at the Mt. Carmel Branch Davidian Compound during the infamous Waco Siege in 1993. The Branch Davidians, or simply "The Branch," were an extremist religious group that split from the Seventh-Day Adventist Church in 1930s. The Davidians believed themselves to be living in the time of the Biblical Final Judgment and Christ's Second Coming. The group and its members were "excommunicated" by the Adventist Church after the split. The Mt. Carmel Branch flag featured a stylized six-winged fiery serpent flying over the white earth below with the "Seven Seals" of Biblical prophecy lined up on the horizon in position to trigger the Apocalypse. They gained national notoriety for their violent 51 day stand during the "Waco Siege of 1993." During the seige, the FBI, ATF agents, and the Texas National Guard lay siege on the Mount Carmel Center near Waco, Texas, resulting in the deaths of their leader, David Koresh, and 82 of his followers, plus four Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) agents.





Boogaloo Flag (Type #1)







Boogaloo Flag (Type #2)

with reversed igloo logo







Boogaloo Flag (Type #3)







Boogaloo Flag (Type #4)



The Boogaloo Movement 2019 (USA) The Boogaloos are a far-right anti-government extremist movement or milita. They are often referred to as "boogaloo boys" or "boogaloo bois." They often identify themselves as "libertarian" and say they seek to incite a second American Civil War which they call the "boogaloo." According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, "the term 'Boogaloo' which began to predominate in far-right web spaces in early 2019, began as a shorthand for civil unrest following potential local or federal firearms confiscation and has been embraced by antigovernment and white nationalist communities." The movement especially attracts a combination of gun rights, anti-government, white supremacist, neo-Nazi, and racists who believe that the impending unrest will become a race war. At demonstrations they appear heavily armed and often dressed in Hawaiian shirts and military fatigues. They use logos and other imagery incorporating igloos, palm trees, and Hawaiian prints. The members claim that the group and its ideology are nothing more than online jokes, similar to those used by the Proud Boys, but militant members of the Boogaloo Movement have been charged with violent crimes, been linked to violent disruptions in the George Floyd and Black Lives Matter protests, and the killing of two security and law enforcement officers. Boogaloo Flag (Type #1) with reversed Logo They often refer to their flag as either the "Big Igloo" or "Boogalloo" Flag. The main flag (Type #1) used by the group is a modified black and white striped national flag where the canton features a white igloo on a black field. The stripe below the canton adds the only color to the flag done with a Hawaiian print. One variant Boogaloo flag (Type #2) adds the popular "Snake and Pepe the Frog" meme that has become popular with far-right extremist groups, above the igloo and the words "Come and Start It" below. Another variant (type #3) features a palm tree and igloo in the black canton. The Type #4 variant uses a Betsy Ross circle of stars around the igloo in the black canton. The Hawaiian prints differ in multitudes of variants, as does the overall flag designs.







BI Flag (yellow)









BI Flag (black)









Current BI Logo



The Identity Block (or Identitarian Bloc) (France)

Bloc Identitaire The Bloc Identitaire is an extreme right French nationalist political group. It was founded in 2003 by former members of Unité Radicale and several other nationalist groups. The Bloc Identitaire claims to represent all "young French and Europeans who are proud of their roots and of their heritage." It opposes what it calls "miscegenation" and "imperialism" (both American and Moslem), and has organized campaigns and demonstrations, sometimes violent, against Moslems, Jews, Communists, and other non-white ethnic and political groups. The Bloc identitaire runs the Nationalist Press Agency and website called Novopress, and identifies itself with other neo-Nazi and extremist groups in other parts of Western Europe and North America. One of their more imaginative, and less violent, activities was the use of soups with pork as "identity soups" (soupes identitaires) to attack and belittle certain ethnic groups. The group has been banded as "discriminatory and xenophobic" by HALDE (High Authority for the Struggle Against Discrimination and for Equality - Haute autorité de lutte contre les discriminations et pour l'égalité) a French "independent administrative authority" which "has the right to judge all discrimination, direct or indirect, that is prohibited by law or an international agreement to which France is a signatory." Traditional Flag of Languedoc Province Traditional Flag of Roussillon Province The flag most commonly attributed to the Bloc Identitaire has either a yellow or black field, with the symbol of the lambda Spartan centered on it in contrasting black or yellow. A number of these flags were used by the BI at the "Pigs' March," organized on May 14, 2011, in Lyon. The BI, like many extremist groups, is perfectly willing to "hijack" traditional flags and symbols for their use. The traditional flags of Languedoc and Roussillon Provinces would be perfect examples of this "borrowing to legitimize" by the Bloc Identitaire, who have displayed these flags during their demonstrations and parades. The newest BI Party symbol/logo is the black boar, but has yet failed to materialize on any flag.







BI Flag (yellow)









BI Flag (black)



Identitarian Bloc (Germany)

Identitäre Bewegung The Identitarian Movement is a German ultra-rightist movement modeled after the French movement of the same name. It was founded in 2012 and along with a shared ideology, it also uses the same symbols used by the French Identitarians on their flags: the black "Spartan lambda" on a yellow field, and the reversed colors of a yellow lambda on a black field. Josef Wirmer's Resistance Flag Munich Lozengy Flag (traditional) Along with their organization flags, the national flag of Germany is also widely used by the group. Josef Wirmer's "Resistance Flag" (which has become popular among German ultra-rightists over the last several years) is also seen at times, as well as a variety of local flags, such as the black and yellow lozengy flag of Munich which has been frequently photographed in demonstrations outside that city, suggesting that the local Munich branch of the movement is very active nationwide. Identitarian Movement Austria (Austria)

Identitäre Bewegung Österreichs Using identical BI flags there is also the Identitarian Movement Austria (Identitëre Bewegung Österreich), sometimes spelled Identitarian Movement of Austria (Identitäre Bewegung Österreichs), also founded in 2012. It, like its German counterpart, is modeled after the Identitarian Bloc (Bloc Identitaire) of France.





BR Flag



Red Brigades (Italy)

Brigate Rosse The Red Brigades was an Italian Marxist-Leninist terrorist organization that was behind numerous violent incidents, assassinations, acts of sabotage, bank robberies, and kidnappings. The Red Brigades attained notoriety in the 1970s and early 1980s with these violent attempts to destabilize Italy. First formed in 1967, this violent left wing extremist organization sought to create a "revolutionary" state through armed struggle, and to force Italy to leave the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. In the late 1980s, the group was broken up by mass arrests and then slowly faded into insignificance as the leadership turned on each other.





BWB Flag (under von Maltitz)





BWB Flag (under Ford)





BWB Flag (current variant)



Boer Resistance Movement (South Africa)

Boere Weerstandsbeweging (BWB) This was the flag of Boere Weerstandsbeweging (BWB) which was black with white cross fimbrated red; in the center of the cross is a white circle fimbrated red with three black "7"s. The BWB was initially led by Eddie von Maltitz and subsequently by Andrew Ford. This flag and its symbol are now also being used by European Nazis as they have volunteered to fight in a race war in South Africa. When Andrew Ford took over the leadership the flag was replaced by a similar one instead of having the three 7s, bears the letters BWB in white arranged in a triangular fashion (pointing downwards) on a similarly directed black triangle. The group appeared either to have gone underground or had ceased to exist, because their public activities were curtailed after 1999, but a new website has appeared in 2012. Until the appearance of this new website, their last public activity as the Boer Resistance Movement was when they offered to send a force of 35 volunteer soldiers to Yugoslavia in 1999 to help defend Serbia against "NATO aggression." It is unknown if anything ever came of this offer. Their current BWB flag, which is featured on their website, has a cross composed of five black letters, four B's and one W, arranged on the white disc so as to give the abbreviation BWB both horizontally and vertically. The white cross is described as the symbol of faith and purity, its red borders as the symbol of both the blood Christ shed on the cross and the blood Boer people shed in struggle for freedom, and the black field as the symbol of courage and determination of Boer people. How viable this new rebirth of the BWB is cannot yet be determined, but the website seems to be a serious recruitment effort. On their website they state they hope to bring the Boer nation together, and point to the current South African government as "a sadistic and racist regime" that must be stopped, stating their main goal is to free the three Boer republics (Transvaal, North Natal, Free State) from the "Afrikaner betrayal."





BTE Flag





Closeup of Initials



League of True Confederates (Switzerland)

Bund treuer Eidgenossen (BTE) The full name of this Swiss extremist party was Bund treuer Eidgenossen nationalsozialistischer Weltanschauung, which translates loosely into the "League of True Confederates of the National Socialist Ideology." The party was founded in March of 1938 by former members of the Swiss National Front, who thought that their old party was no longer truly following the Nazi ideology. It was led by Alfred Zander, who in September of 1938 attended the Nuremberg Rally (the annual convention of the Nazi party) and spoke in favor of the idea that Switzerland should join the Reich. In May of 1938, Bruno Oswald in Berne founded a local chapter with about 25 members, while the "national" membership of BTE would eventually reach about 175 members. In July of 1939 Zander was arrested on his return from Germany and sentenced to jail, together with other BTE leaders and party members. In October of 1940 the party was disbanded and most of its remaining members joined the National Movement of Switzerland (Nationale Bewegung der Schweiz), another similar group which intended to become a unified Swiss Nazi party. The Swiss Government banned the group the following month. Their flag was derived from that of the National Front, adding the initials BTE to the center of the cross, thus employing the full color set of colors used on the German NSDAP flag.





BUF Flag 1932







BUFNS Flag 1935



British Union of Fascists 1932-1940 (United Kingdom) The British Union of Fascists (BUF) was founded in 1932 by Sir Oswald Mosley, a former Labor government minister and former MP of the Conservative Party. BUF's emblem was the one used by Italian fascists and by other fascist movements, the fasces. In the British flag the fasces was white placed over a gray disk on a red field. In 1935, the party changed its name to the British Union of Fascists and National Socialists (BUFNS). Along with this name change appeared a new flag with the lightning flash emblem and the flag colors of the United Kingdom. The flash was white, set on a blue disk edged in white, appeared in the center of a red field. When the emblem was changed from the fasces to the circle and lightning flash, the symbolism was stated to be "the flash of action, within the circle of unity." Opponents of the party quickly named it "the flash in the pan." This flag was used until the party was dissolved in 1940. Mosley modeled himself after Benito Mussolini and the BUF on Mussolini's National Fascist Party in Italy. Mosley instituted black uniforms for members, earning them the nickname "Blackshirts." The BUF was anti-communist and proposed replacing parliamentary democracy with elected executives having jurisdiction over specific industries, and by 1934 it had adopted antisemitism as official policy. In 1940, the BUF was banned outright by the government, and Mosley, along with 740 other fascists, were interned for much of World War II

Christian Falangist Party of Germany (2006-2009)

Christlich Falangistische Partei Deutschlands (CFPD) The Christian Falangist Party of Germany was founded in 2006, with the aid of the Christian Falangist Party of America, which saw it as the first step in transplanting of its ideas to other countries. However, it turned to be the last step as well, because the party has not been very successful and was disbanded in 2009, not long before its model. The party seat was in the city of Ingolstadt. The Christian Falangist Party of Germany flags and emblems were derived from those of the Christian Falangist Party of America, whose leader Pat Bridges claimed to have designed them after having posted to a Flickr gallery several images showing different combinations of a modified German heraldic eagle with a CFPA crutch-cross. On the CFPD party website, which is no longer online, a German tricolor, charged with the large black crutch-cross fimbriated in white and black (Type #1) was used. A variant flag (type #2) was also shown with the party name inscribed in red, above and beneath the cross. A third tricolor (Type #3), had large initials CFPD, inscribed in white on red field. The Type #4 CFPD Flag uses a stylized tree centered on a white background and is obviously derived from the flag of the original Lebanese Falange. It is the only party flag not employing the national colors, gold being replaced with white. CFPD Flag (2006-2009)

Type #5 CFPD Flag (2006-2009)

Type #6 The Type #5 and Type #6 CFPD flags use a fimbriated crutch-cross symbol centered on a plain fields using variations of the German national colors.

CFPD Flag (2006-2009)

Type #7 CFPD Flag (2006-2009)Type #7 The last CFPD flag (Type #7), has a crutch-cross symbol centered within a ring and is based on the 2003-2009 Christian Falangist Party of America flag, It simply replaces the United States national colors with those of Germany.





CFP Flag



Canadian Fascist Party (Canada) The Canadian Fascist Party (CFP) was a fascist political party based in the Canadian city of Winnipeg. Although the party was a splinter group from the Canadian Nationalist Party and claimed to base its platform on the principles of corporativism, rather than the largely racial motivations of the Nationalist Party, many of the party membership were racially motivated. The party was founded as the British Empire Union of Fascists and was affiliated with the British Union of Fascists. It later became known as the Canadian Union of Fascists and Canadian Union, for short. It published its own newspaper called "The Thunderbolt."





CEDADE Flag



Spanish Circle of Friends of Europe (Spain)

CÃƒÂ­rculo EspaÃƒÂ±ol de Amigos de Europa (CEDADE) The flag of the Spanish Circle of Friends (CEDADE) was probably the first "modern flag" of an European neo-nazi organization. The official flag of CEDADE was all red with a golden eagle, holding a yoke in its claws and with a golden torch behind it. CEDADE was founded in 1966 and formally disbanded in 1993.

Christian Falangist Party of America (USA) The Christian Falangist Party of America (CFPA) was founded in Philadelphia in 2000 to replace the National Syndical American Falangist Party (NSAFP). They claimed to be dedicated "to fighting the "Forces of Darkness" which seek to destroy all of Western Judeo-Christian Civilization. This new Falangist organization claimed that they no longer would condone acts of violence or hatred towards those of differing or opposing viewpoints and lifestyles, and they would no longer tolerate racism or anti-Semitism among their membership in any form. They severed their former ties to the Spanish Falange and all other "neo-Nazi/anti-Democratic/third position groups" who used the name Falange or Falangist. Instead of claiming succession from the NSAFP, they claimed to have derived their name from the Lebanese Falange, one of the oldest and strongest Christian parties from Lebanon, which, in fact, were originally modeled after the Spanish Falange, but gradually got rid of the Fascist "appearance" through the years, although its members still use a form of Roman salute. This new Christian Falangist Party claimed they believed only in the teachings of Jesus Christ and the Holy Bible. They supported the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and nationalistic loyalty to the United States of America. Unfortunately, in practice, it soon turned out to be business as usual. The original party flag was charged with a blue "Battle Cross" within a red ring, all on white field. The cross was derived from a similar one which was used by the Lebanese Forces, a former militia and current political party of Lebanese Christians, which was also partly modeled after the Lebanese Falange (borrowed their form of Roman salute, etc.). In 2003, The "Battle Cross" was replaced with a crutch-cross. This emblem was derived from that of the Fatherland Front (Austria 1934-1938), whose ideology was known as the Austro-Fascism, but although it was authoritarian and corporativist, it was generally less oppressive than most similar contemporary European regimes. It certainly was anti-Nazi and opposed the Anschluss; their first leader, Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss, was killed by the Austrian Nazis during an unsuccessful coup in 1934 and his successor, Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg, was sent to a concentration camp after the Anschluss. After the war, Schuschnigg moved to the USA and became a US citizen and the professor of Political Science at Saint Louis University. The Christian Integralist and anti-Nazi ideology of the Fatherland Front was chosen by the CFPA to be their new source of inspiration. It should be pointed out here that the Crutch Cross a simplified version of the "Jerusalem Cross," or the "Crusader's Cross." They are a heraldic cross and a Christian symbol consisting of a large Greek cross surrounded by four smaller Greek crosses, one in each quadrant. They, like many other historical symbols, have been commandeered by extremist groups in an attempt to legitimize their existence. The Jerusalem Cross is also used on the flag of Georgia. Along with the Fatherland Front, the Lebanese Falange remained the model for the CFPA and an alternative party flag was introduced after 2003, using a stylized tree like the cedar of the Lebanese Falangists, but striped in red and blue on white field so as to display the US national colors. The "Battle Cross" has reappeared, in a slightly modified form and painted in red, on white flag of the "Christian Forces", a would-be militia or social organization which seems to never have been really operative (which makes it difficult to decide about their real nature), although an address was reserved for their planned website which never appeared, only their flag having been regularly presented along with the party flags. A rarely used variant of the official party flag was introduced in 2007, with much darker shades of blue and red and charged with the party name inscribed in white over the ring. CFPA Security Service Flag #1 CFPA Security Service Flag #2 CFPA Security Service Flag #3 During the CFPA's active existence, their private militia security force called FALSEC (Falangist Security) has used three different flags. These were produced as a part of a whole range of flags, including a naval flag, called "jack" before the 2003 flag change and "ensign" afterwards, and a standard for the Directors (national and state heads of the party) since 2007. Probably the strangest flag was "The flag we can never use", which was declared as banned on the party website because its design resembled some far-right flags too closely and might have misled visitors to attribute the site to a neo-Nazi group. Christian Zionists of America Flag

(Blue Crutch Cross) Christian Zionist Roman Catholics

(Blue Jerusalem Cross) In accordance with their anti-Muslim and pro-Israeli attitude, CFPA started a partner organization, the Christian Zionists of America (CZA), which adopted a flag derived from that of Israel. A second partner was planned, the Christian Zionist Roman Catholics (CZRC), which would use a flag similar to that of the Christian Zionists of America, but with a Jerusalem Cross instead of the crutch-cross. The CZRC was never started, because the CFPA was officially disbanded in 2009. It has since re-invented its self as the Christian Phalange Organization. Between 2006-2009, an associated Christian Phalange group called the Christian Falangist Party of Germany was organized in Germany, without much success.





CRAF Flag Royalist Center of French Action (France)

Centre royaliste d'Action française (CRAF) Founded in 1998 by Pierre Pujo, this is the ideological successor of the French Action (Action française), a nationalist, anti-republican and anti-Semitic movement founded in 1898 by Henri Vaugeois and Maurice Pujo (father of Pierre Pujo) during the Dreyfus affair, whose principal ideologist was Charles Maurras. By 1914, it has grown into one of the strongest far-right movements in France and remained such after the Great War, despite papal condemnation in 1926, due to opinion that it was just using the Catholicism for political goals, and the 1936 ban, together with other anti-democratic movements, which was lifted in 1939. Most of the members supported the Vichy regime during the World War II, although theoretically opposing the collaboration with the Third Reich, while the others left either to activelly collaborate or to join the resistance movement. The French Action was dissolved in 1944, Maurras and Pujo imprisoned after the war as the traitors, and the movement name was illegal to use for years, its ideas still being followed by a number of groups, including the CRAF. Flag of CRAF is yellow, with its emblem in center: a large blue disc, charged with a stylized fleur-de-lis between the letters "A" and "F", all in yellow. These charges refer to the original Action française, as well as to the French royal arms.





CPI Flag





Student Bloc Flag



CasaPound Italy (Italy) The neo-Fascist CasaPound Italy Movement began in 2003 with the occupation of a state-owned building in the Esquilino neighborhood of Rome. Their name referred to the American poet Ezra Pound who praised Mussolini's regime in the 1930s. Before 2006, CasaPound was associated with neo-Fascist Tricolor Flame Party, but has since become an independent movement. In 2011 it was estimated the CPI had as many as 5000 members. Their flag is definitely Nazi-inspired, showing a black-white symbol on a red field. The symbol is a stylized tortoise, representing the ancient Roman battle tactic called the testudo (Turtle), a formation where the soldiers would form a protective shield wall overhead and around themselves as protection from arrows and thrown spears. The Student Bloc (Blocco Studentesco) is a neo-Fascist student organization which was founded in 2006 by the CasaPound Italy. Its flag is black, with large encircled lightning flash in white. The symbol is designed so as to resemble the 1935-1940 emblem of the British Union of Fascists and the meaning is also similar, with the ring standing for the unity in a collective and the lightning flash standing for the action. Since the Student Bloc is actually the student wing of CasaPound, its members frequently carry both flags together.







CPO Flag 2009

NCP Flag 2012



Christian Phalange Organization Flag (USA) Formerly known as the Christian Falangist Party of America, the new Christian Phalange stated they were no longer a political party, but "a politically active social organization" in 2010. They claimed they changed their name because too many people associated the word "Falangist" with the neo-Fascist Spanish Falange and the neo-Nazis. They now invited any Christian of any race or nationality to join the Christian Phalange and that their new goal is to stop the spread of Islam. Despite the name and goal change, they still remain, however, an extremist and very radical Christian Conservative organization. Although they say they are pro-Israeli and not at all racist or Nazi, their membership still really seems to have it in for gays and Muslims. As the Christian Phalange cut back on their ultra-nationalistic symbolism, they also have abandoned their previous flags with the neo-Nazi-like appearance in favor of the one using a tree like the cedar of the Lebanese Falangists, but striped in red and blue, with a white star added on upper blue field. However, the newest variant of the Christian Phalange flag to appear has a more natural looking tree (oak?) in blue, with a white star on its trunk, and the initials "NCP" (National Christian Phalange) placed in a centered red circle on white background. It appears to be the work of Pat Bridges, the leader of the CFPA/CP.





CEI Flag



Circle of Indo-European Studies (Spain)

C´rculo de Estudios Indoeuropeos (CEI) The C´rculo de Estudios Indoeuropeos (CEI) is a national-socialist organization founded in 1997. The organization claims to be a cultural movement and is considered by most to be a continuation of the "Spanish Circle of Friends of Europe. (CEDADE)" They use a "neo-Nazi style" flag: red field, central white circle with black symbol. The central emblem is composed of the joined letters "H" and a "A," standing for "Hereditas Ambitusque," which is Latin for "Inheritance and Scope."





Celtic Cross Flag

(Variant)



Celtic Cross (Sun-Wheel) Flag Although not explicitly a racist symbol, the Celtic cross, or more properly the "Sun-Wheel," is often used by people in the white power movement, especially skinheads. The cross pictured here is one most often used by racist groups. Many New Right groups began using this type of flag, with the main symbol being the Celtic Cross, because it isn't outlawed in most countries and they can claim it as a heritage symbol. The term "New Right" is used as a descriptive term for various policies and/or groups that are to the extreme "far-right." It has also been used to describe the emergence of extremist Eastern European parties after the collapse of communism.





Chetnik Flag

(Type #1 - 1991-present)





Chetnik Flag

(Type #2 - 1991-1999)





Modern Variant Flag

(Type #3 - actual use questionable)



Flag of the Chetniks (Serbia) Here is a flag with a long history that proves the rule, "one man's extremist is another man's patriot." In Serbia this flag served as a resistance flag against the World War II German occupation, but now has been opted by extremist groups and others to serve very different purposes. The Chetniks (Troopers) were originally guerrilla groups which, since 1903, operated in areas still under the Ottoman rule, fighting not only against the Ottoman Empire, but also against similar Bulgarian groups. They also participated in the Balkan Wars (1912-1913) alongside the regular army, and again in World War I, in parts of Serbia which were occupied and annexed by Bulgaria (1915-1918). Along with Serbian national flags, they used black flags with skull and crossbones and inscriptions like Sloboda ili smrt (Freedom or Death). (Similar flags were also used in the Macedonian uprising against the Ottoman Empire in 1903.) In World War II and afterwards, the Chetnik flag came to be used by anti-Communist resistance fighters. Thanks largely to Communist propaganda against the Chetniks in Serbia they were labeled extremist. The name Chetniks also became a name used by various legitimate para-military groups in the bloody Yugoslav Wars in the 1990s, but unfortunately, also became a name used by groups of local thugs and criminals hiding under the name in order to get some impunity for their actions. Naturally this Communist over-propagandizing of the name also resulted in making the flag popular among various other groups, some of whom were extremists, some not, some merely patriotic, and some who were just plain thugs. In Serbia today it is sometimes hard to determine which was which. The original World War II Chetnik flags usually had the inscription S verom u Boga (With Faith in God) and Za kralja i otadÃ…Â¾binu (For King and Fatherland), sometimes with places switched, because "For King and Fatherland" and "With Faith in God" had been inscribed on Serbian military colors until 1918. Two of the flags (Type #1 and #2) shown here were used during the Yugoslav Wars. The inscriptions at the top are S verom u Boga (With Faith in God) and Za Kralja i OtadÃ…Â¾binu (For King and Fatherland), respectively, and Sloboda ili smrt (Freedom or Death) at the bottom. Variants of these flags, with differing text, are still also used freely by Serbian anti-Communist emigrants in Western countries as the symbol of a non-Communist resistance movement. The Type #3 variant is being sold, but its use is questionable, and has not been seen or documented in Serbia.





Colonial Christian Republic





Hutaree Militia Flag



Colonial Christian Republic (USA) The Colonial Christian Republic, with its Hutaree Militia, is a militant Christian fundamentalist group based in Adrian, Michigan. The group was formed in early 2008. They claim "Hutaree" means "Christian Warriors." The group is preparing for what they believed will be an apocalyptic battle with the forces of the Antichrist (the UN), who they believed is supported and defended by local, state and federal police departments. On their website, all police and military members who would support the current U.S. system of local, state or federal government are described as members of an evil brotherhood and are considered by the Hutaree to be their enemies. The Hutaree insignia includes a sword, crossed spears, and the letters "CCR" which stands for "Colonial Christian Republic." The Hutaree Militia uses a dull low-visibility Combat flag and a strange system of paramilitary ranks with titles from highest to lowest: Radok, Boramander, Zulif, Arkon, Rifleman (three grades), Lukore, and Gunner (three grades). In March of 2010, nine Hutaree members were arrested in police raids in Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana, for their alleged involvement in a plot to kill various police officers and possibly civilians using illegal explosives and firearms.





CSA Naval Jack (historic )



Confederate States of America (USA) Although the Confederate flag is seen by many Southerners simply as a symbol of Southern pride, it is often used by racists to represent white domination of African-Americans. The flag remains a subject of controversy because some Southern states still fly the flag from public buildings or incorporate it into their state flag's design. The flag is also used by racists as an alternative to the American flag, which they consider to be an emblem of what they describe as the Jewish-controlled government.





DNSB Flag





DNSB Flag (Type #2)

National Socialist Movement of Denmark 1991 (Denmark)

Danmarks Nationalsocialistiske Bevaegelse The National Socialist Movement of Denmark was founded in 1991 as the latest in the list of successor parties to the original National Socialist Workers' Party of Denmark (Danmarks Nationalsocialistiske Arbejderparti - DNSAP), which was disbanded in 1945 after World War II ended.

World War II era DNSAP Flags 1940-1945 The original DNSAP Flags were square (ratio 1:1) with reversed swastikas centered on them. The present DNSB flag features a red field with a white swastika within a ring of white.

DPNI Flag

Movement Against Illegal Immigration (Russia) The Movement Against Illegal Immigration (DPNI) is a Russian nationalist hate group and anti-Illegal immigration organization. The DPNI was founded in 2002 by Vladimir Basmanov, in 2008 leadership passed to Aleksandr Belov (Potkin), the former press spokesman for ultra-nationalist Pamyat's leader, Dmitry Vasilyev. In 2010 the leadership changed once again, and Vladimir Ermolaev now leads the group. The Movement Against Illegal Immigration was created in 2002, in reaction to ethnic violence between residents of a Moscow's suburb and immigrants from the South Caucasus and Central Asia. The Movement Against Illegal Immigration organized a number of anti-immigrant rallies throughout Russia. It also took part in carrying out the annual Russian March, a Russian ethnic pride display and protest event. Aside from mass protests the movement was active in organizing public pressure to support ethnic Russians in number of high profile court cases involving crimes committed by the immigrants. Human Rights Activists had filed complaints with the Russian authorities because they believed the DPNI was "pursuing a fascist agenda," exemplified by slogans such as "Russia is for Russians!" Because the Movement continued to repeatedly take part in events aimed at igniting inter-ethnic hatred, it was finally banned by the Moscow City Court in 2011. At the present time, a suspension of the activities of the organization remains in force. The Movement Against Illegal Immigration was one of the more active political organizations in Russia with about 5000 members in 30 different regions.





EA Flag



European Action (Germany)

Europaeische Aktion Although European Action calls itself an international organization, its activities are mainly held in Germany. They have, however, demonstrated in nearby European countries such as Austria, Switzerland and Liechtenstein. They promote historical revisionism and Holocaust denial in the name of freedom of speech, call for the repatriation of all non-European immigrants, dissolution of the European Union which they want to replace by a confederation of "fully sovereign" countries. They want to defend "traditional" ways of life against "decadence" and support anti-LGBT activities. The flag of European Action has a yellow Crutch Cross within a yellow ring that is centered on a blue field. Interestingly enough, these are the same colors used on the European Union flag.

Eco-Anarchists Flag (Type #2)





Eco-Anarchists Flag (Type #5)



Eco-Anarchists or Green Anarchists (Worldwide) Green Anarchism, or Eco-Anarchism, is strange mixture of anarchism and environmental issues. Its multiple sources can be found in the teachings of such notables as Henry David Thoreau, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Leo Tolstoy and Élisée Reclus. This fusion of anarchism and naturist philosophies is now worldwide. Eco-Anarchist Flag (Type #3) Eco-Anarchist Flag (Type#4) Unfortunately some Green Anarchists groups have engaged in direct action and acts of eco-terrorism. Groups like Earth First!, Root Force, the Animal Rights Militia, the Earth Liberation Front (ELF), the Earth Liberation Army (ELA), the Olga Cell, and the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) have taken direct action against "systems of oppression." There have been violent attacks on the logging industry, the meat and dairy industries, animal testing laboratories, genetic engineering facilities, and government institutions. After attempted assassinations of nuclear scientists, and letter bombs sent to nano-tech and nuclear-tech facilities, many Eco-Anarchist groups, or their sub-groups, have been named as terrorist organizations. Groups like the Animal Rights Militia, the "Justice Department" and "Revolutionary Cells" have even claim responsibility for these openly violent attacks. It should be pointed out that not all Eco-Anarchist groups engage in these violent protest activities, but unfortunately, some do.





ELAM Flag





ELAM Flag



The National Popular Front (Cyprus)

Εθνικό Λαϊκό Μέτωπο (Ethniko Laiko Metopo) The National Popular Front (ELAM) is an extreme-right political party founded in 2008 in Cyprus. ELAM described its platform as "popular and social nationalism" and promotes Greek nationalism. ELAM's activities include sometimes violent marches against Turkish Cypriots and attacks against immigrants and leftist progressive students. Golden Dawn leader Ilias Kasidiaris has described ELAM as the "Golden Dawn of Cyprus." and the two extremist groups work closely together. Political racism of this sort is supported by about 4,000 people on Cyprus who regularly vote for ELAM. ELAM's members often rally at night in Larnaca dressed in black, waving Greek flags inciting anti-immigrant, racist violence, and some are members of the Cypriot National Guard. ELAM uses a blue flag with a white cross charged in the center with the party's emblem, represented as a black old shield charged with a white sword pointing upwards. On variant flags the vertical arm of the cross is sometimes wider than the horizontal one. ELAM also uses a black flag with the white letters "ΕΛΑΜ" on it.





EM Flag



English Mistery (United Kingdom) The English Mistery (or English Mystery) was a political and esoteric group active in the United Kingdom of the 1930s. A "Conservative fringe group" in favor of bringing back the feudal system, it was described as a patriotic organization who proposed a ´Masculine Renaissance,´ espousing an ultra-reactionary, aristocratic Toryism with an addition reference to Nietzsche, elitism and eugenics." Its views have been characterized as "aristocratic, ultra-conservative, Tory integral nationalistic, anti-liberal democratic, reactionary ultra-royalist, and anti-democratic." (Enjoy that trip to the dictionary) Basically, it was against everything to do with welfare, the London School of Economics, and the United States. It was founded by William Sanderson, and took its title from his 1930 book That Which Was Lost: A Treatise on Freemasonry and the English Mistery. Sanderson was a Freemason, but disaffected, and founded the group in 1930 to promote his views of "leadership."





EPR Flag (type #1)





EPR Flag (type #2)



Revolutionary People's Army (Mexico)

Ejército Popular Revolucionario EPR The Popular Revolutionary Army is a violent leftist movement in Mexico led by a masked leader who identifies himself as "Captain Emiliano." It was first formed in 1996 and after engaging police in a fire fight near the Guerrero capital of Chilpancingo, "declared" war on the Mexican government in a document called the Aguas Blancas Manifesto. The EPR guerrilla currently operates in the States of Guerrero, Oaxaca, Chiapas, Guanajuato, Tlaxcala and Veracruz.

EPR Flag (type #3) The main flag used by the EPR has a green field with a red star, superimposed over the star are crossed rifle, machete and hammer. Just off the three uppermost points of the star are the initials "EPR." Two other flags also reported in use are shown here.





FB Flag (2000)

Puerto Rican Phalanx (Puerto Rico)

Falange Boricua The name of this movement is loosely translated as "Puerto Rican Phalanx". It was founded in March 2000 as a Puerto Rican counterpart of the Spanish Phalanx and allegedly banned in May same year, after having attempted to blockade US military bases in Puerto Rico. It was soon reborn as the National Syndicalist Movement of Puerto Rico, but possibly ended its activities some time afterwards. The movement flag, as presented at their website (still existing), was charged with red yoke and arrows on black field. This flag might have inspired the Venezuelan Phalanx to adopt the same design in early 2002, claiming that it is the common flag of Latin American Phalangists. Along with its own flag, the movement also used the Cross of Burgundy flag as the symbol of Hispanity (Hispanidad), as well as the Grito de Lares flag and the flag of the Nationalist Party of Puerto Rico, which were both considered important national symbols.





FDG Flag

(Sun Wheel variant)



Youth Front (Italy)

Fronte Della Gioventãƒâº The Black Sun Wheel, or Celtic Cross, on a white disc has became the international symbol of the Youth Front, and adopted by other groups of young nationalist in several European countries. It is usually placed on a red field as is done with this Italian Youth Front flag. Because this Celtic Cross was adopted by a prohibited neo-Nazi party in postwar Germany, its public display in Germany was banned along with the swastika under the federal criminal code, as part of legislation designed to forestall any revival of Nazism. However, it is still freely used in Italy and other countries.

Spanish Phalanx 1933-1977 (Spain)

La Falange or Falange Española The term Falange is used by several political movements and parties dating from the 1930s, including the original Fascist movement in Spain. The word "Falange" actually means "phalanx," (a Macedonian or Spartan Greek military formation) in Spanish, and there are many small parties still calling themselves the Falange Party today. The warlike symbol of the phalanx was chosen due to the militaristic nature of these National Socialist type parties. It should be noted here that the yoke and the arrows both were taken from the Catholic King's emblems (the yoke for Ferdinand of Aragon and the arrows for Elizabeth of Castile) and the same symbols were readopted by Franco's regime. The original Spanish Falange movement was founded in 1933 by JosÃƒÂ© Antonio Primo de Rivera, who was the son of the former Spanish dictator, General Primo de Rivera. Their platform (political agenda) combined the national traditions of Spain with these of Fascist ideology. The Falange symbol was also used in World War II on a flag used by the soldiers of the Divisio'n Azul (Blue Division), a Spanish volunteer unit in the German Army which fought on the Eastern Front. It was formed in 1941, and was disbanded 1943. Theirs was certainly not the only case of using of a flag with this design: there have been many flags with the Falang
