From Wikipedia:

"The swastika is a symbol that originated from Hinduism and generally takes the form of an equilateral cross, with its four arms bent at 90 degrees... The word 'swastika' comes from the Sanskrit svastika - 'su' (meaning 'good' or 'auspicious') combined with 'asti' (meaning 'it is'), along with the diminutive suffix 'ka.' The swastika literally means 'it is good.'"

The Nazis just adopted this symbol. Actually, the Nazi swastika is rotated 45 degrees. Anyways, it should be noted that the swastika is not just a symbol for oppression but I can understand your concerns. I don't think the level should be automatically banned from voting, though.

I'd like to agree. I know most people say; let's ban the symbol, ban the name and everything that goes with it. But you can't erase the past, why not forget it, change the symbol back the way it was. Like said, the symbol was originally a good symbol, letting the Nazi's taint is... (alright this is probably a dumb place to have this argument. Plus, this may just be that for some odd reason I like the symbol and feel bad it has such negative connotations)

I guess I'm a minority but I don't like the idea of letting a group of people (in this case the Nazis) take something away from us. Imo, letting the symbol continue to have the negative connotations is letting the Nazi's still have influence even though they lost 50 years ago.
