Reaction to "Constructing the Swastika" by Jennifer Hadden
Due to the swastika's irreversible connotation to the Nazi party of WWII, the swastika has proven the power of symbols as a political and social tool rather than just representational media. Since it's birth as a symbol of good luck, the swastika's later use as a medium of the "victory of the Aryan man" recognized the use of symbol as a control method. Abstractly, symbols in daily life are used to the same extent, i.e. public awareness signage. Although these symbols are used as navigational tools rather than a collective identity, which the swastika became. The Nazi party recognized that "the 19th century Europe had entered a visual age.. an age in which political symbols... proved more effective than any didactic speech." This quote gives rise to an expanding visual culture we live in, guided by images, signs and symbols, we making meaning out of these 'guidelines' and often do not question their preceding significance nor their future authority.

Your comment is interesting. However, the swastika is not irreversible in its connotation to the Nazi party. The symbol was reversed so that it always pointed in the S-orientation. And the group did not call it a swastika. They also did not call themselves Nazis.

Swastika symbols as alphabetic symbolism for "socialism" originated in the USA where it was adopted later as Nazism’s swastika. Swastikas spread as overlapping S-letters for "socialism" under the National Socialist German Workers' Party, as shown in the research of the noted historian Dr. Rex Curry (author of Swastika Secrets).

American socialists (e.g. Edward Bellamy and Francis Bellamy teamed with the Theosophical Society and Freemasons) bear some blame for altering the notorious symbol used as overlapping S-letters for "socialism" under the National Socialist German Workers Party. The same symbol was used by the Theosophical Society during the time when the Bellamys, Freemasons and the Theosophical Society worked together to promote socialism. They also originated and helped to spread the stiff arm salute via the Pledge of Allegiance at their meetings.
Socialists in the USA originated the Nazi salute, robotic group-chanting to flags, Nazism, flag fetishism, and the modern swastika as "S" symbolism for "Socialism." http://rexcurry.net/pledge2.html
Although the swastika was an ancient symbol, its use was altered to alphabetic symbolism in modern times. Similar alphabetical symbolism is still visible as Volkswagen’s VW emblem.
The symbol had also been used as S symbolism for socialism by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. And similar alphabetical symbolism was also adopted as the Trabant Sachsenring emblem. http://rexcurry.net/ussr-socialist-swastika-cccp-sssr.html
Many people do not know that the term "Nazi" means "National Socialist German Workers' Party" and that members of the horrid group did not call themselves Nazis, but called themselves socialists.
The National Socialist German Workers’ Party did not call their symbol a swastika. Americans also did not refer to it always as a swastika. To call the German symbol a swastika now is disparaging to the similar-looking symbol used by other cultures. German socialists referred to their symbol as a type of cross. The German socialist symbol should be called the "Socialist Cross."
Swastikas as alphabetic symbolism began in the USA as early as 1875 and continued through the creation of the National Socialist German Workers' Party (German Nazis or NSGWP or Nazis). http://rexcurry.net/theosophy-madame-blavatsky-theosophical-society.html

The NSGWP had clear roots in National Socialism promoted by socialists in the USA.
Much of that history includes the history of the Pledge Of Allegiance. The "Nazi salute" is more accurately called the "American salute" as it was created and popularized by national socialists in the USA as the early salute of the Pledge of Allegiance.
The Pledge was written by Francis Bellamy. http://rexcurry.net/pledgetragedy.html Francis Bellamy was cousin and cohort of Edward Bellamy. http://rexcurry.net/pledgebackward.html Edward Bellamy and Francis Bellamy were self-proclaimed Christian Socialists in the Nationalism movement and they promoted military socialism.
Their socialist pledge was mandated by law in government schools for three decades before, and through, the creation of the National Socialist German Workers' Party. It was the worship of government. http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-pledge.html

Amazon.com has adopted as its policies the recommendations made by Dr. Curry. http://rexcurry.net/amazon-com-book-reviews-tags-discussions.html
The original pledge was anti libertarian and began with a military salute that then stretched out toward the flag. In actual use, the second part of the gesture was performed with a straight arm and palm down by children casually performing the forced ritual chanting. Due to the way that both gestures were used sequentially in the pledge, the military salute led to the Nazi salute. The Nazi salute is an extended military salute via the USA's pledge.
The Pledge's early salute caused quite a Fuhrer/furor. The dogma behind the Pledge was the same dogma that led to the socialist Wholecost (of which the Holocaust was a part): 62 million slaughtered under the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics; 49 million under the Peoples’ Republic of China; 21 million under the National Socialist German Workers’ Party. It was the worst slaughter of humanity ever.
The USA is still the worst example in the world of bizarre laws that require robotic chanting to a national flag in government schools (socialist schools) every day for 12 years. It has changed generations of Americans from libertarians to authoritarians. The government bamboozled individuals into believing that collective robotic chanting in government schools daily is a beautiful expression of freedom.

Indeed, and your point...
