Political Flags of Extremism - Part 1 (a-m) (Including Hate Groups, Far-Right, and Ultra-Nationalists)
| Flags of Extremism Part 1 (a-m) | Flags of Extremism Part 2 (n-z) |
I agonized over these sections. Whether to ignore these flags and what they stand for, or include them was a tough decision. I feared including them would constitute legitimizing them, and certainly didn't want to do that. In the end I thought it important that they be identified for what they stood for, because many times they have been unknowingly displayed or incorrectly identified as historical by unsuspecting or uninformed individuals or flag companies. Many of these groups were very small and don't exist any longer, but their flags continue to be used by modern extremists. The sad part is that this page only identifies a small portion of the Flags of Extremism being sold today. Please be aware that in NO WAY does this site support the beliefs, policies, or philosophies of these organizations, nor encourage the displaying of these flags.
 ARNE Flag
|
Ecuadorian Nationalist Revolutionary Action (Eucador) 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. |
 ANS-NA Flag
 ANS-NA Flag Variant
|
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. |
 AWB Flag
 Modern Afrikaner Resistance Supporter Flag |
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 Eugčne 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.
Modern White Supremacist supporters still occasionally fly a flag with a Nazi-like death head skull centered over the "Three Sevens" symbol. |
 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.
|
 All Germanic Heathens Front
 German Heathens Front
|
All-Germanic Heathens Front & German Heathens Front 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 seeked 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. |
 al-Qaeda Flag
|
al-Qaeda "The Base" (Saudi Arabia) al-Qaeda
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. |
 New Triumph Flag
|
Argentine New Triumph Party Partido Nuevo Triunfo
The Argentine group Partido Nuevo Triunfo (PNT) is presently banned in Argentina, but its flag is still widely used by other racist groups. It was founded in 1990 by Alejandro Biondini, evolving from an internet publication. Biondini ran for president in the 2003 election with little impact. Their flag has the standard red field, white circle, and black emblem of such groups. The swastika-like emblem looks like a crossed number 7.
The party explanation is that it represents Saint Cajetan. Saint Cajetan Day is August 7, and he is the protector of workers, unemployed people and work seekers. |
 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 black.
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.
|
 Aryan Nations
|
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. As of December 2007 there were two main factions that claimed descent from Butler's group.
Aryan Nations has been called a "terrorist threat" by the FBI, and the RAND Corporation has called it the "first truly nationwide terrorist network." The organization has been at the center of violent racist activity since its inception in 1974.

 Bases Autónomas Flag (Type 1)
 Bases Autónomas Flag (Type 2)
 Bases Autónomas Flag (Type 3)
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. |
 BWB Flag under von Maltitz
.jpg) BWB Flag under Ford
|
Boar Resistance Movement (South Africa) Boere Weersdandsbeweging (BWB)
This was the flag of Boere Weersdandsbeweging (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.
This group has either gone underground or has ceased to exist, its public activities have curtailed since 1999. The last public activity of the Boer Resistance Movement was in 1999 when offered to send a force of 35 volunteer soldiers to Yugoslavia to help defend Serbia against Nato aggression.
It is unknown if anything ever came of the offer and nothing much was heard of this group since then. |
 BUF Flag 1932
 BUFNS Flag 1935
|
British Union of Fascists 1932-1940
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 modelled 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 |
 Integralist Action Flag
|
Brazilian Integralist Action Açăo Integralista Brasileira (AIB)
The Açăo 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.
Plinio 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. |
 Canadian Union Flag
|
Canadian Fascist Party
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."
|
 CNSC Flag
 Castilian Fascists (variant)
|
The Castilian Council of Madrid La comunidad Nacionalsocialista Castellana
The La comunidad Nacionalsocialista Castellana (CNSC), also known simply as the "Council of Madrid," is a Spanish neo-Nazi group centered around the Madrid area which maintains an active Spanish website/blog filled with the usual articles warning about the "Zionist Red Army," "archaeological evidence" to support their beliefs, a future National Socialist Iberian state, various racial theories and distinctions, the Castilian solar wheel (the Broquel, or Castilian swastika), the British control of Gibraltar, the destruction of the Spanish States, Portugal, and a possible European Empire.
They discuss a manifesto for forming an autonomous "Castilla-La Mancha," to include the provinces of Ciudad Real, Albacete, Cuenca, Guadalajara and Toledo. They tie themselves into National Socialism through their Germanic customs (Visigoths) and what they call the "Spanish epic."
Their site abounds with slogans such as "Alive Iberia Unite!", "Alive The Socialist Struggle and Patriot!", and "Live Free Europe!" Their flag, using traditional National Socialist design and colors, features a traditional Castellan Castle instead of swastika. |
 CEI Flag
|
Circle of Indo-European Studies (Spain) Círculo de Estudios Indoeuropeos (CEI)
The Círculo 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." |
 Sun Wheel 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. |
 Hutaree Militia Flag
 Colonial Christian Republic
|
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." Hutaree members use 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. |
 Historic CSA Naval Jack
|
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. |
 National Union Flag
|
Flemish National Union 1933-1945 (Netherlands) Vlaamsch Nationaal Verbond
The Vlaamsch Nationaal Verbond (VNV) was a Flemish Nationalist Socialist political party in Belgium, founded by Staf de Clerq in 1933. De Clerq became known as "den Leider" (The Leader). The VNV was tied to the idea of uniting the many Flemish parties in Belgium into a single movement, and the creation of a pan-Dutch state, called Dietsland, to include both Flanders and the Netherlands. Its slogan was "Authority, discipline and Dietsland."
De Clerq died suddenly in 1942, and was succeeded by Hendrik Elias. Elias continued the collaboration with the Germans, but also tried to prevent the installation of a civilian government, which would be composed of Nazis. Elias failed, as Hitler installed the new body and declared the annexation of Flanders by Germany in 1944. Seven weeks later, Belgium had was liberated by the Allies. The VNV was outlawed after the war, and Elias was put in prison. |
 FN Flag
|
New Force (Italy) Forza Nuova
The Forza Nuova (FN) is an Italian far right political party. Founded by Roberto Fiore and Massimo Morsello, and supporting the ideas of Julius Evola, the party is a member of the European National Front and was a part of the Social Alternative from 2003 to 2006. The party policies are an interesting blend of National Socialist ideology and traditional Roman Catholicism.
At many New Force rallies, besides using the flag shown to the left, the more traditional Italian Nazi Flag wth the Sun Wheel (shown below) is also used. |
 Italian Nazi Flag (Sun Wheel variant)
|
Italian Nazi Party (Italy) Fronte Della Gioventú
The Black Sun Wheel, or Celtic Cross, on a white disc became the international symbol of young nationalist in several European countries. It is usually placed on a red field as is done with the Fronte Della Gioventú, or the Italian Nazi Party Flag shown here.
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.
It is still freely used in Italy. |

Golden Dawn (Greece) Chrysi Avyi
The Chrysi Avyi is the biggest extreme-rightist organization in Greece, not to be confused with the "Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn," a peaceful society dedicated to the philosophical, spiritual, and psychic evolution of humanity. The Greek "Golden Dawn" is anything but peaceful, and has been responsible for carrying out acts of violence and hate crimes against immigrants, political opponents and ethnic minorities. It ceased to exist as the separate organization in 2005, merging with the Patriotiki Symmahia (Patriotic Alliance), which used different symbols. In 2007, the Patriotic Alliance ceased to exist and the Golden Dawn announced its re-activation. Since then, the website of Golden Dawn has been regularly updated. The same is true for Metopo Neolaeas (Youth Front) website, the youth wing of the organization.
Golden Dawn Sponsored Flags using the Sun Wheel (Celtic Cross) These Sun Wheel variants are being used by a wide-variety of extremist groups today.

The Prasini Pteryga (Green Wing) is an Ecologist organization founded by members of the youth wing of the Golden Dawn. It uses a green flag, charged with a white Celtic Cross with outer white and inner green fimbriations. |
 GR Flag
|
Green Rights (Belgium) Groen Rechts
The Groen Rechts (GR) is an Ecologist ultra-rightist organization. The Green Rights website contains almost no information about the group, although since the logo of N-SA appears at the bottom of all the pages it suggests that members of the Nieuw-Solidaristisch Alternatief (Neo-Solidarist Alternative Movement) must have founded the GR. The flag of the Green Rights, with its black Celtic cross on a green field, also further suggest ties between two organizations.
The Groen Rechts green flag has been prominently displayed at various Flemish rightist demonstrations in recent years, suggesting an active membership in the area. |
 NPHM Flag 1935-1945
 Cross Star Flag
|
Hungarian Arrow Cross Party Nyilaskeresztes Part-Hungarista Mozgalom
The Arrow Cross, or Cross Star, was a symbol used by the Arrow Cross Party and Nyilaskeresztes Part-Hungarista Mozgalom (NPHM), a national socialist pro-Nazi party led by Ferenc Szálasi, which ruled Hungary from October of 1944 to January of 1945. During the short rule, ten to fifteen thousand Jews were murdered outright, and 80,000 Jews were deported from Hungary to the Auschwitz concentration camp. After the war, Szálasi and other Arrow Cross leaders were tried as war criminals by Hungarian courts. Some Arrow Cross officials, including Szálasi himself, were executed. However, many Arrow Cross supporters were never prosecuted, and it is rumored that some may have found a new home supporting the Stalinist Rákosi regime.
The ideology of the Arrow Cross has resurfaced occasionally in recent years, the Neo-Fascist Hungarian Welfare Association being an example, however, it is very much a fringe element of modern Hungarian politics. Today, you will still see the Hungarian Arrow and Cross symbol used by non-Hungarian White Supremacist groups (see the Nationalist Movement below) and it is still used by some modern Hungarian neo-Nazi skinheads. |
 Welfare Association Flag
|
Hungarian Welfare Association Magyar Népjóléti Szövetség
The Magyar Népjóléti Szövetség (MNS) is a neo-fascist movement. It is small, but they are visible at public demonstrations on national days or anniversaries linked to World War II. The Hungarian Welfare Association, which has appeared under various names and in different guises, adheres openly to the legacy of the Hungarian fascist Arrow Cross, or Cross Star movement, led during the World War II by Ferenc Szalasi.
Various small groups, such as "Blood & Honour," are still active in organizing demonstrations on anniversaries linked to World War II and the legacy of Hungarian fascism. |
 IFL Flag
 NSM "88" Flag
|
Imperial Fascist League (United Kingdom)
This was the flag of the Imperial Fascist League (IFL) a British Fascist movement led by Arnold Spencer Leese between 1928 until 1939. The IFL was a small group with never more than a few hundred members. They wore black shirts and were organized for street battles. Initially, they used the fasces as a symbol, but adopted the swastika superimposed on the Union Flag after Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany.
The group was in harsh competition with the British Union of Fascists, and more than once there were street battles between the two extremist groups. Eventually, the BUF proved too strong, and by 1939, the IFL had largely disappeared. Their flag regained brief notoriety when a picture of it being used in a 1938 pro-nazi demonstration in London was re-published in a 1997 edition of Newsweek magazine.
The IFL flag got new life when it was adopted by the new National Socialist Movement 88 Britanna (NSM) the newest reincarnation of the movement in the United Kingdom under the leadership of a "Corporal John." Once again the NSM's core beliefs include (from their website) "...defending the rights of white people everywhere, preservation of our European culture and heritage, strengthening family values, economic self-sufficiency, reform of illegal immigration policies, immediate withdrawal of our national military from an illegal Middle Eastern occupation and promotion of white separation." |
 IAMF Flag
|
Iranian Aryan National Front Jebhe Nasionalisti-ye Iranian-e Arya
The Jebhe Nasionalisti-ye Iranian-e Arya (IAMF) is an ultra-nationalistic organization with Iranian national ideals as its prerogative. They emphasize Aryan Values and are definitely in support of the concept of Aryan Racial superiority.

 INSM Flag
|
Iranian National Socialist Movement Jonbesh-e Nasional Sosialist-e Iran
The Jonbesh-e Nasional Sosialist-e Iran (INSM) is the latest addition to the Internet-based National Socialist organizations of Iran. Although the organization is Iranian, strangely enough they use the English script letters "INSM" centered on their flag standing for "Iranian National Socialist Movement."
The background colors on the flag (red-brown-black gold clockwise) are the colors used on the Derafsh-e-Kaviani, the oldest Persian flag dating back to the Persian empire. According to legend, it had be made of a long rectangular leather apron used by national hero Kaveh the ironsmith during the reign of King Fereidoun, and mounted on a spear. This leather banner became the symbol of Iranian independence, resistance, resilience and the revolutionary momentum of the masses revolt against evil invaders. Today it is known as the"Glorious Flag" of Iran. |

 Italian PNF Party Flag
|
Italian National Fascist Party 1922-1943 Partito Nazionale Fascista
The Partito Nazionale Fascista (PNF) was a far-right Italian political party, created by Benito Mussolini as the political expression of fascism. The party ruled Italy from 1922 to 1943 under an authoritarian system.
Fascism advocates the creation of a single-party state. Fascists believe that nations and races are in perpetual conflict whereby only the strong can survive by being healthy, vital, and by asserting themselves in combat against the weak. Fascist governments forbid and suppress criticism and opposition to the government and the fascist movement. Fascist blame capitalist liberal democracies for creation of class conflict which they oppose, and communists for exploiting the concept.
The symbol on the flag is a fasces, a bundle of sticks used as a symbol of authority by officials in Ancient Rome. The sticks represented the power of individuals. By binding them together and inserting an ax, they could not be broken easily. They represented the united power of many working together as one. The fasces is not just a Fascist symbol and is used world-wide, including on the back of the U.S. Mercury dime. |
 Italian Neo-Fascist
|
Italian Neo-Fascist Party Partito Nazionale neoFascista
This National Socialist flag features the "Wolfsangel" rune. In a Neo-Nazi demonstration in Vicenza, Italy, they flew this flag. It has the classic Nazi scheme (red background with white circle and a black doppelhaken symbol.
The ancient German rune wolfsangel was a magical means to frighten away wolves. It is also known as the doppelhaken or "Wolf's Hook." The upright variant is known as the donnerkeil" (thunderbolt) and the horizontal variant as the "werewolf." Due to its use by Nazi Germany, along with continuing use by neo-Nazi organizations, the symbol is now associated with Nazism as are many of the old folk symbols of the Germanic peoples, most notably, the swastika. |
 Kahane Chai Flag (This flag usually has various customized inscriptions added to it)
|
The "Thus Kahane Lives" Movement (Israel) Kach Kahane Chai
The Kach Movement began as a far right political party in Israel, founded by Rabbi Meir Kahane in the early 1970s. It was barred from participating in elections after 1988 under Israeli elections laws that banned parties that incited racism. In 1990, Kahane was assassinated after making a speech in New York City.
After Kahane's assassination the party split with the Kahane Chai breaking away from the main Kach faction. Both the Kach and Kahane Chai Movements were banned outright in 1994, and today, both groups are considered terrorist organizations by Israel, Canada, the European Union, and the United States.
The group has been responsible for using explosives that has done damage to property, including an attempt to car bomb a Palestinian girls school in East Jerusalem, threatening and conspiring to carry out assassinations, and for soliciting funds and members for a terrorist organizations. |
Knight's Party Flag with diamond off-center

(Variant for wall hanging)
|
Knights' Party (USA)
The Knight's Party is now a registered political party whose purpose is to provide an avenue for the members of the Ku Klux Klan (see below) to run as political candidates in elections. They host a new look for their website and now claim to be "peacefully" seeking to abolish all discriminatory affirmative action programs. They wish to become known as the "White Rights Movement" and consider themselves as "the Last Hope for America." They are still in the same old business, but trying for a newer more "politically correct" look.

|
Knight's Party Flag without border |
This new flag is clearly inspired by the traditional National Socialists design, but instead of white disc with a black swastika, it has a white diamond enclosing a black Sun Wheel. Flag variants include diamonds with black borders and without black borders. |
 The Blood Drop Flag
 The Duke Flag
|
Knights of the Ku Klux Klan (USA)
The Blood Drop symbol is most often used by various Klan organizations throughout the United States. Usually at clan rallies there are actually a lot more United States Flags displayed than KKK flags, despite their very un-American racial beliefs.
The Ku Klux Klan was established in Tennessee in 1866. Most of the leaders were former members of the Confederate Army and the first Grand Wizard was Nathan Forrest, a confederate general during the American Civil War. In the late 1800s and early 1900s Clansmen wearing masks, white cardboard hats and draped in white sheets, have been responsible for torturing and killing black Americans and sympathetic whites. The Civil Rights movement of the 1960s prompted a modern rebirth of the Ku Klux Klan activities that has persisted until the present day.

Lithuanian Bolshevik Party
The original Communist Party of Lithuania (LKP) was formed by Antanas Snieckus in the 1940s. The first secretary of the Central Committee of the party (always a Lithuanian) was de facto governor of the country under the USSR. The second secretary was always a Moscow appointed Russian.
In 1989, with the breakup of the Soviet Union, during mass protests, the party declared itself independent from Communist Party of the Soviet Union. In 1990, the Communist Party of Lithuania was renamed the "Democratic Labor Party of Lithuania," which, in turn, was later merged with "Social Democratic Party of Lithuania" with the leadership dominated by ex-communists. |

National Action Movement (Portugal) Movimento de Acçăo Nacional
The Movimento de Acçăo Nacional (MAN) was a "classical" European-type neo-Nazi style movement, which operated from 1986 to 1992. They used a white lined Celtic Cross (Sun Wheel) on black flag. Technically, this was not a party, but a neo-fascist movement connected with groups of "skinheads" and football supporters.
After the murder of a black man in Lisbon by these skinheads, they where outlawed by court order because the Portuguese constitution prohibits organized movements that promote fascist ideology.

National Socialist Movement of Chile Movimiento Nacional Socialista de Chile (MNSC)
The Movimiento Nacional Socialista de Chile (MNSC) was a political group started in 1932 and was active until 1938, which initially supported the ideas of Adolf Hitler, but later moved towards its own brand of fascism. Their flag used during this time was based on the first Chilean flag.
The movement was first formed in 1932 by General Diaz Valderrama, Carlos Keller, and Jorge González von Marées, who became leader. The party received financial support from the German population of Chile and claimed a membership of 20,000 people. The movement stressed what it saw as the need for one party rule and solidarity between classes, and soon set up its own paramilitary wing, the Tropas Nacistas de Asalto. However, support for Hitler was abandoned in the late 1930s and anti-semitism was scaled back, with a more domestic form of fascism being offered publicly. |

This represent the birth of the movement and their goal to create a state which has as the main objective the spiritual development of the Chilean people according to the socialist values of the National Front, thus breaking with "the strings of a system that maintains its existance at the cost of our compatriots."
The Flag of the National Socialist Youth (JNS)
The movement, with the intention of "instilling habits of discipline" uses a special uniform which is worn by the members who have "been admitted" to participate in the ranks. They claim that the uniforms will lead to the "establishment of an egalitarian life," and be a "starting point" that is common to all Chileans. |

National Socialist Movement - National Vanguard Flag (Peru) Movimiento Nacional Socialista Vanguardia Nacional
One of the newest neo-Nazi groups in Peru is the Movimiento Nacional Socialista Vanguardia Nacional (MNSVN) which was founded in 2010, with branches in Lima, La Libertad and
Lambayeque. The National Vanguard uses a flag featuring a black arrow pointing upwards, said to be the "tyr" rune (tiwaz). The rune, shaped as a raised spear symbolizes power, resistance, determination and fighting spirit, according to the group.
The flag, which is presented in the traditional National Socialists colors with red field, and white and black striped detailing, is reminiscent of one of the variants of the Hitlerjugend (Hitler Youth) House Flag, with the tyr rune replacing the swastika. |
