Political Flags of Extremism - Part 2 (n-z) (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.
 NR Flag
|
Nation and Revolution (Spain) Nacio'n and Revolucio'n
The Nacio'n and Revolucio'n (NR) is one of many small ultra-rightist political parties now existing in Spain. Nation and Revolution first appeared in the general elections in 2008 using a flag diagonally divided in black and red, with a white trident outlined (fimbriated) in black and white in the center.
The trident symbol, although certainly not an excusive far-right symbol, has sometimes been used in various recognizable forms by other far-right groups in both Spain and Europe. A very similar example would be the current flag used by the Neo-Solidarist Alternative Movement in Belgium. |
 NSE Flag
|
Ecuadorian National Socialism (Ecuador) Nacional Socialismo Ecuatoriano
The National Socialism Ecuatoriano (NSE) is a neo-Nazi, racist, right-wing conservative group in Ecuador with possiable ties to the Legión Blanca (White Legion), a shadowy right-wing organization in Ecuador that is responsible for numerous death threats since 2001 to politicians, human rights workers and left-wing activists in the country. In addition, the group claimed responsibility for a March 2003 arson attack on the Ecuadorian Congress building which caused a large amount of damage, but no casualties. No arrests were ever made in the arson. Further, the White Legion has not claimed responsibility for any attacks since the March 2003 arson, and reports of death threats from the group have all but ended since October of that year. |
 Nation Flag
|
Nation (Belgium) Nation
Nation is a French-speaking ultra-rightist movement, founded in 1999 in Wallonia and Brussels. They claim to be "the only French-speaking nationalist organization struggling in a credible way against the multiculturalist society." In 2000, they formed a youth branch called Jeune Nation (Young Nation).
Nation has participated in demonstrations in Belgium and in other European countries in recent years, together with other European "nationalist" groups. However, their political success has been limited. |

National Bolshevik Front (Russia)
National Bolshevik Front has been used as a name by three separate far-right groups in Russia. The name initially applied to the Russian National Bolshevik Party of Eduard Limonov when it was founded in 1993. Although the name was soon abandoned by the Russian group when it became active in politics, the term National Bolshevik Front is still used to refer to a loose federation of National Bolshevik organizations that spreads across much of Europe and South America. Of these, the most important is still in Russia.
In 2006, the name was once again taken, this time by Alexei Golubovich for a new anti-Limonovist splinter group from the National Bolshevik Party that he led. This new group has links with former NBP member Aleksandr Dugin, and works closely with the Union of Eurasian Youth, a group of young supporters of Dugin's Neo-Eurasianism. |

National Bolshevick Party (Russia) Natsional’naya Bol’shevistkaya Partiya
The Natsional’naya Bol’shevistkaya Partiya (NBP) has been led by Eduard Limonov since its founding in 1992 as "National Bolshevik Front" when it was formed by the amalgamation of six minor groups. The National Bolshevik Party (also known as Nazbol) is dedicated to the ideology of National Bolshevism. Their platform calls for a revolution and extermination of all non-Russians in Russia. At present, the party membership is around 15,000, with regional departments throughout Russia and a headquarters in Moscow. The party is known for attracting young people on the margin of society, from delinquents to vanguard intellectuals and artists.
Although the Party was liquidated by a lower court in 2005, the Russian Supreme Court overturned the ban just two months later. Since then, however, the party has remained barred from election registration and was completely outlawed again in 2007.
Their flag is based on the nazi scheme (red or black, with a centered white disk with a black symbol, but instead of the swastika there they use the sickle-and-hammer device. The flag is an interesting merging of two well-known and opposite symbols, which reflects the strange merging of the Bolshevik and Nazi doctrines. |
 NPD Flag
 NPD Flag (Variant)
 Young National Democrats Flag

National Democratic Party of Germany Nationaldemokratische Partei Deutschlands (NPD)
The neo-Nazi Nationaldemokratische Partei Deutschlands (NPD) was formed in the early 1960s when several right-wing parties merged and was rather successful in the elections during the 1960s, but lost most of its support in the early 1970s.
The NPD was founded in 1964 and has about 6,000 members making it the third largest right-extremist party in Germany. In 1969, it formed an youth organization called the Junge Nationaldemokraten (JN), or "Young National Democrats."

The German Imperial Flags are prominently displayed by the NPD. These Imperial flags are displayed at party conventions and during demonstrations. NPD demonstrators wave different versions of these black-white-red flags. There are other modern variants of black-white-red that are produced by flagmakers for right extremists and used by them. Because of this, not only are flags from the Third Reich banned, but many from the Second Reich era are now becoming banned, most notabily the Imperial Naval Ensign and the Imperial War Ensign shown above. |

National Front Party (Russia)
These are flags used by a Russian neo-Nazi organization called the National Front. The National Front is led by Ilya Lazarenko. First formed in 1993 as the "Front of National-Revolutionary Action," it was renamed the "National Front Party" in 1994. Its doctrine is racist and fascist envisioning a "Great National-Socialist Russian Empire" under a "national dictatorship," which explains their use of flags reminiscent of both Nazi Germany and Imperial Russia.
The National Front Skinheads wear traditional black fascist uniforms and display their black crosses on their banners which they claim are based on the crosses of Novgorod and Jerusalem instead of the traditional swastika which is illegal in Russia. According to Lazarenko, his movement has contacts with the Russian National Unity (RNE) of Alexander Barkashov, but the relations are generally cool because they view the policy of the RNE as "absolutely erroneous."
 Russian State Flag 1914-1917
At demonstrations the National Front Party have been seen displaying flags using the Romanov imperial colors and even using the last Russian Imperial State Flag of 1914.

 NL Flag
|
National List Party (Germany) Nationale Liste (NL)
In 1989, various far-right neo-Nazis from Hamburg, led by Christian Worch and Thomas Wulf, founded the Nationale Liste (NL). The National List used this black flag with white inscription "NL" at their rallies and meetings. During the 5 1/2 years of its existance the National List published a magazine that contained a list of names and addresses of left-wing and anti-fascist activists and organizations which led to attacks on some of the people listed.
In 1995, the NL was banned and its membership disappeared into other German extremist groups. |

National Rebirth of Poland Narodowe Odrodzenie Polski (NOP)
The Narodowe Odrodzenie Polski (NOP) is a minor far-right, extremist nationalist political party in Poland. It is a member of European National Front. The NOP registered as a political party in 1992. It claims to be the reincarnation of National Radical Camp, the pre-war nationalist youth organization, which was banned in 1934.
 National Rebirth of Poland Variant
In 2001, NOP membership in Poland was estimated at 500, consisting mainly of neo-Nazi skinheads. In 2006, it received only 0.6% of the popular vote in regional elections. |

National Patriotic Front (Pamyat Union - Russia)
The National Patriotic Front, a splinter group from the Pamyat (Memory) Union, is a Russian ultra-nationalist organization sometimes identifying itself as the "People's National-Patriotic Orthodox Christian Movement." It has been accused of racism, xenophobia, and antisemitism.
The groups most well-known leader, Dmitry Vassilyev (who died in 2003), made the Pamyat Union the most prominent organized group of Russian nationalists in the 1980s. After several splits and name changes, and the imminent dissolution of the USSR, the organization launched its own newspaper "The Pamyat" in 1991, with print runs of 100,000 copies, and started their own radio station.
However, by the end of the 1990s, the original Pamyat had disappeared being replaced with smaller groups with names like "The National Patriotic Front" and "The Russian National Unity." The Russian National Unity promoted the cult of the swastika, a symbol which, they claimed acts on subconsciousness and paralyses, weakens and demoralizes non-belivers." |
 National Resistance Flag
|
National Resistance (Germany) Nationaler Widerstand
This flag is a symbol for the Nationaler Widerstand. It's not used by a particular party or organization, just for the whole action called "National Resistance." Recently, it has been used by organized Neo-Nazi groups in Germany, and it symbolzies national resistance.
This flag actually predates the National Socialist Movement. The black flag (without hammer and sword) was the flag of a social protest movement of German farmers in the 1920s. The black flag with the red hammer and the red sword was first used by Otto Strasser, who was one of the leaders of the left wing of the NSDAP in the 1920s. It symbolized the unification of workers and soldiers. After World War II, Strasser reintroduced the black flag with the red hammer and sword as the flag of a short-lived new political movement that never gained any importance, however, in the 1970s and 1980s the flag was reintroduced by newer neo-Nazi movements. In the 1990s, it became a symbol of national revolution, and has remained in use since that time. |
 Animal Rights Flag
|
National Socialist Animal Rights League (USA)
A disturbing development that has emerged in some animal and environmental activist circles is the use of Holocaust imagery to promote their causes. This strange flag is being sold as an Nazi Animal Rights League flag.
Neo-nazi groups have also frequented animal rights demonstrations in an attempt to capitalize upon the tension and controversy generated by the issue. Many of them claim to subscribe to Adolf Hitler's original doctrine of a vegetarian, chemically untainted agrarian society in which vivisection is outlawed. |
 Nazi Bicentennial Flag
|
National Socialist Bicentennial Flag (USA)
This flag was first used in a demonstration in 1976 on the Fourth of July outside the White house by The National Socialist White Peoples Party. The 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 NSWPP was originally founded in 1958 by George Lincoln Rockwell as the American Nazi Party. The name was changed to the National Socialist White People's Party in 1967. The NSWPP platform supports a racist agenda and promises a "battle in the streets of America." |
 Canadian Nazi Party
|
National Socialist Christian Party (Canada) Parti national-social Chrétien (PNSC)
The National Socialist Christian Party, founded in Quebec, used a blue flag charged with a red swastika in a white disk between 1933 and 1938. Adrien Arcand (1899-1967), the would be "fuehrer" of Canada, led various National Socialist movements during his lifetime, and he and his followers used a variety of similar flag designs over the years. The party identified with anti-semitism, Adolf Hitler, and Nazism. Arcand's party eventual joined with other Canadian groups to form the Canadian National Socialist Unity Party or National Unity Party. At the height of its power, the party could only boast a few thousand members, mainly concentrated in Quebec, British Columbia and Alberta.
The Parti national social chrétien used an emblem with a swastika surrounded by a wreath of maple leaves topped with a Canadian beaver, but according to FOTW research, they apparently used the traditional NSDAP design for their flag, replacing the red field with a blue one, and changing the traditional black swastika to red.
|
 NSNAP Party Flag
|
National Socialist Dutch Workers Party (Netherlands) Nationaal-Socialistische Nederlandsche Arbeiderspartij (NSNAP)
The Nationaal-Socialistische Nederlandsche Arbeiderspartij (NSNAP) was a minor Dutch national socialist party founded in 1931 and led by Ernst Herman van Rappard. Seeking to copy the fascism of others, notably Adolf Hitler, the group failed to achieve success and was accused by rivals of being too moderate for a fascist movement. It was absorbed by the more aggressive NSB in 1941.
The group looked to the National Socialist German Workers Party for its inspiration, setting up its own Storm Trooper battalion in imitation of the Sturmabteilung and its own Holland Youth like the Hitler Youth. The NSNAP sought full incorporation of the Netherlands into the Third Reich. |
 MNSDP Odal Rune Flag
|
National Socialist Movement Awake Peru Movimiento Nacional Socialista Despierta Perú (MNSDP)
The Movimiento Nacional Socialista Despierta Perú (MNSDP) is a radical neo-Nazi group in Peru whose activities center around Cieneguilla according to the Peruvian police. Their motto of "Peru Awake" is obviously paraphrasing "Deutschland erwache!" (Germany awake!). The MNSDP has plans to form a super "creole" neo-Nazi group to celebrate Hitler's 120th birthday which they plan to call the Unión Nacional Socialista Peruana (UNSP, Peruvian National Socialist Union).
The National Socialist Movement Despierta, in the tradition of the original National Socialists German Workers Party, maintains a militant and lightly armed "Brown Brigade," complete with flags, brown uniform shirts, black ties, and red and white MNSDP armbands with the "Odal Rune" logos prominently displayed on them.
The Odal Rune is widely used by right-wing nationalist youth groups like the "Wiking Jugend" in Germany and "Afrikaner Student Federation" in South Africa. |
 Lithuanian Neo-Nazi Flag
|
National Socialist Party (Lithuania)
Under the leadership of Mindaugas Murza, the National Socialist Party, which would under go various name changes in its existance (United National Workers Party, Lithuanian Alliance of Nationalist-Socialist Unity, etc.), attacked Lithuania's minorities of Jews, Poles and Russians, and demanded that these minorities be made to leave Lithuania. The Lithuanian neo-Nazi movement, who represents a very small minority, occasionally still use this flag at their demonstrations.
The party's program advocates restrictions on immigration and on the import of foreign goods. It also expresses doubts about whether Lithuania should seek EU membership. Mindaugas Murza compared globalism to Zionism, and preaches hatred of the Jews (anti-Semitism) and other Nazi policies, including paraphasing the German National Socialist slogan with "Lithuania, wake up!" Murza is now in prison, but his followers still occassionally cause trouble. |
 NSB Party Flag
|
National Socialist Movement Party (Netherlands) Nationaal-Socialistische Beweging (NSB)
The Nationaal-Socialistische Beweging (NSB) was the most important Nazi party in the Netherlands between 1931 and 1945. In 1941 it absorbed the other Dutch nazi parties (like the NSNAP) and became the only one. The NSB wanted to unite the Netherlands and Flanders into a single German controlled country called "Dietsland."
The NSB was founded in 1931 by Anton Mussert. One of their flags used the colors of the Dutch tricolour, the field was orange, with on a white disc and the blue rune sign of the wolfsangel (wolf hook) centered on it.

National Socialist Front (Sweden) Nationalsocialistisk Front (NSF)
The Nationalsocialistisk Front (NSF) was a Swedish neo-nazi political party. The organization was founded in 1994 in Karlskrona. On the birthday of Adolf Hitler, April 20, 1999, the NSF became a registered political party. In 2008, at the time of its dissolving, the NSF was the largest Neo-Nazi political party in Sweden. A new party was founded to replace it, the People's Front (Folkfronten) with the same people in charge.
The party had as its main goals the abolition of democracy, the repatriation of immigrants, the implementation of scientific racism and cutting taxes for families with many genetically healthy children. The NSF traced its heritage back to a World War II era National Socialist party. The original World War II NSF flag had a red swastika on a gold circle on a blue flag.
In the NSF's new reincarnation the red swastika was changed to gold. During political demonstrations the members wore a black combat shirt, black military-cap, boots, khaki-coloured combat pants, and wore the party's logo on a arm band. This uniform was outlawed by the police in 2006, it was considered a hate crime just to wear them during demonstrations. After that the members of the party often wore a simple blue t-shirt with the yellow letters "NSF" on them. The swastika was replaced on their flag with a new "fasces-like" emblem. |
 Original NSDAP Flag
|
National Socialist German Workers Party (Germany) Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (NSDAP)
The Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (NSDAP), commonly known in English as the Nazi Party, was a political party in Germany between 1919 and 1945. It was known as the Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (German Workers' Party - DAP) before the name was changed in 1920.
The party policies included dictatorial powers for the party leadership, fanatical nationalism, and racial hatred. Nazi sponsored death camps resulted in over 12 million deaths. The party's last leader was Adolf Hitler.
Neo-Nazis groups around the world have created many variations on the flags of Nazi Germany over the years, often because Nazi flags themselves are banned in a number of countries. Some variations involve modifying the swastika to some degree, while others replace the swastika with an alternate white supremacist symbol such as various runes used in Nazi Germany.

National Socialist Japanese Workers and Welfare Party Nationalsozialistische Japanische Arbeiterpartei (NSJAP)
The Nationalsozialistische Japanische Arbeiterpartei (NSJAP) is a far-right Japanese political party that campaigns on a platform of National Socialism. Founded in 1982, the party is also known as "New Axis Party." The party celebrates the empire of Japan and its alliance with the Third Reich. The party believes in a return to the Shogun system as an indigenous take on National Socialist principles of leadership. It is virulently anti-Semitic, and believes in an international Jewish conspiracy employing Freemasonry to control Japan. Today, it is known as the National Socialist Movement, and it is not a significant force in Japanese politics.
The New Axis Flag uses a pinwheel type of swastika which is a variation on that used by many racists organizations and individuals. The National Socialist Japanese Workers and Welfare Party also has been known to use a variant of the old Tohokai Party Flag.

 NSM Flag
|
National Socialist Movement Flag (USA)
The National Socialist Movement (NSM) is currently the largest neo-Nazi group in the United States. The NSM promotes its anti-Semitic and racist ideology at rallies throughout the country, particularly in the Midwest, and through the group's website, internet-based radio programs, white power music companies and video games. Members wear Nazi uniforms and openly display swastikas to a degree unusual even among white supremacists.
Prior to the intoduction of this new "Americanized" flag the old American Nazi Party commonly used the traditional National Socialist German Workers Party (NSDAP) flag. |
 NSB Flag
|
National Socialist Movement in the Netherlands Nationaal-Socialistische Beweging in Nederland (NSB)
The Nationaal-Socialistische Beweging in Nederland (NSB) was a Dutch fascist and later national socialist political party. The NSB was rather successful during the 1930s and the only legal party in the Netherlands during most of the Second World War.
The founder and leader of the "National Socialist Movement in the Netherlands" was Anton Mussert. The party based its program on Italian fascism and German National Socialism, however unlike the latter before 1936 the party was not anti-semitic and even had Jewish members. Beginning in the summer of 1943, many male members of the NSB were organized in the Landwacht, which helped the government control the population. In September of 1944, most of the NSB's leadership fled to Germany and the party's organization fell apart. After the German signing of surrender in 1945, the NSB was outlawed and many members of the NSB were arrested and convicted, including Mussert, who was executed in 1946. |

National Socialist Movement of the Basque Country (Fictitious) Movimiento Nacionalsocialista de Euskalherria
A series of flags were posted on websites to apparently bring into disrepute legiment Basque nationalists movements by attempting to connect them to the Nazi National Socialist movement. The Basque National Socialist Party of the Basque Country doesn't exist. The Lauburu symbol is, however, among the traditional symbols used by the Basque people. The non-existant Movimiento Nacionalsocialista de Euskalherria (National Socialist Movement of the Basque Country) claimed this flag, that uses the Lauburu in lieu of the Nazi swastika, as their flag. They called it the "lauburu o esvástica vasca" (Lauburu or Basque swastika), and say it represents their National Socialist movement in Spain.
Other fictitious flags claiming to be the flags of the National-Socialist Movement of the Basque Country have also been placed on the internet. As far as can be determined none of these flags or a National Socialist Party actually exists in the Basque Country.
The "arrano beltza" (black eagle) is also usually shown on Basque independentist flags, but has nothing to do with the National Socialist Movement. |
 NSPC Flag
|
National Socialist Party of Canada
The National-Socialist Party of Canada (NSPC) is a small neo-Nazi group that claims to "support Canada as an independent and indesoluable nation of white citizens sovereign in its own living space." They hope "to implement what they call the "Seven Points of National Socialism" in Canada and to implement a proposed National Socialist Constitution for Canada. The NSPC was founded in 2006, is organized in secret semi-autonomous cells, but claims 250 members. They admit to being a racialist organization, and claim that many of their members are also active in Stormfront-Canada.
Their flag shows a red swastika rising over ocean waves, which they claim represents the "radiant Sun of National-Socialism" rising over the "Ocean of the People" bringing energy, light, idealism and racial health. |
 Simorq Bird Party Flag
 SUMKA Party Flag
|
National Socialist Workers Party (Iran) Hezb-e Sosialist-e Melli-ye Kargaran-e Iran (SUMKA)
The Hezb-e Sosialist-e Melli-ye Kargaran-e Iran (SUMKA) was an Iranian neo-Nazi party that was also known as the Iran National-Socialist Workers group. The party was opposed to Mosadegh's democratic government (1950-1953) and expressed a strong neo-Nazi ideology. It was a very small organization and disappeared very quickly during the early 1950s. However, recently a new group calling itself SUMKA and claiming to be direct heirs of the original has become active in Iranian politics.
The original group was formed in 1952 by Davud Monshizadeh (an Iranian Azeri), a professor at Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich, who served with the SS and been injured fighting in Berlin. Before this the name had been used informally to refer to those in Iran who supported Adolf Hitler during the Second World War.
The original flag of SUMKA had the emblem of a stylized Simorq Bird from Shanameh Ferdowsi at the center. An interesting variant occasionally used by SUMKA was combining a World War II Nazi German War Ensign with the Persian Eagle in the canton. The new style for the SUMKA flag has Lion, Sun, and a straight edge Persian sword at the center of the Derafsh Kaviyani (ancient Persian banner) symbol, with both Persian Spike Alphabet (Khat Mikhi) and Modern Persian Alphabet writings around the logo.
Today, SUMKA runs a few wandering websites (quickly opened, then quickly closed), still teaching their versions of the fundamental beliefs of the Iranian National Socialist ideology to a new generation, although they have never regained their past popularity. Membership has dropped to basically a few members. Their ideology is still based on Anti-Semitism (against Jews) and Anti-Hemitism (against Arabs) and glorifying the "Aryan Identity," but they have drastically modified their views about racialism, World War II, and Nazism. |

 NPC Flag (unverified)
|
Nationalist Party of Canada Flag
The Nationalist Party of Canada (NPC) is a white supremacist political party that was founded by Don Andrews in 1977 in Toronto. The goal of the party is "the promotion and maintenance of European Heritage and Culture in Canada." The Nationalist Party evolved from another white supremacist organization, the Western Guard, as a result of Andrews being legally barred from the Western Guard. From 1977 to 1985, the party published the "Nationalist Report," which ceased publication when Don Andrews and Party Secretary Robert Smith were both charged and convicted under the Criminal Code of Canada for promoting hatred.
Still based in Toronto, the NPC continues to further its goals through supporting such projects as European Heritage Week, a shortwave radio program, and running for office in local elections. Don Andrews has run for Mayor of Toronto several times, including in 2003 when he won 0.17% of the vote. In that year, two other party members ran unsuccessfully for the Toronto City Council. |

New Order Flag (Portugal) Ordem Nova (ON)
The Portuguese traditional seafaring symbol, the cross of the Order of Christ, did not escape the practice of "National Socialist" type groups to use historical or cultural symbols to falsely represent their organizations, although the Order of Christ cross was originally black on a red background.
The Ordem Nova (New Order), a National Socialist movement operating in Portugal in 1978-1982 used this blue flag with a red cross on a white disc. |

The Noua Dreapta (New Right) is a neo-fascist organization in Romania. It sees itself as successor to the 1930s fascist organization Iron Guard (Garda de Fier). The organization was founded in 2000. In 2006 the organization displayed its most important show of force by staging a peaceful anti-gay rally in Bucharest. The organization uses the paraphernalia of interwar Iron Guard and practices a cult of personality toward the slain Iron Guard leader Corneliu Zelea Codreanu.
Noua Dreapta is an active member of the far-right European National Front, the coalition of neo-nazi political parties in Europe. |
 N-SA Flag
|
Neo-Solidarist Alternative Movement (Belgium) Nieuw-Solidaristisch Alternatief (N-SA)
The Nieuw-Solidaristisch Alternatief (N-SA) is an ultra-rightist movement founded on the model of the German NPD, aiming at attracting the various Flemish ultra-rightist movements currently not represented in the Parliament. The leader of the party, Edouard Hermy, has a long political history linked to the Flemish extreme-rightist movements. In 1999, he was expelled from the ultra-nationalist party Vlaams Blok (VB) for his extreme racist beliefs. Since that time a number of members of the VB have left it, deeming it "not radical enough," to join the N-SA. The leaders of the VB have not actually forbidden their members to join N-SA, but have advised them not to do it. |

NOS Flags

|
New Social Order Flag (Costa Rico) Nuevo Orden Social (NOS)
The Nuevo Orden Social (NOS) is a self proclaimed militant group of Costa Rican working and middle class socialists whose aims are "...to preserve and restore the essence of the nationalist spirit in our country, erected in practical example of our socialism ideas" and are "opposed to the current political system which has been ruling to us for decades with its familiar pathological corruption and incompetence."
According to the New Social Order the red color on their flag represents all those who have died for Costa Rico, the white represents the peace which they feel has been gradually lost. The gear-shaped Social Symbol stands for work and progress. They claim the "New Eagle" on the second flag, with its New Order "Social Shield," protects and enforces the peace and freedom of the Costa Ricans by remaining vigilant to any threat. The new Eagle was placed on the Costa Rican national flag to represent the New Order's aspiration to forge in Costa Rica a small, but great empire, a homeland of respect, order, discipline and socialist values.
The New Order remains an extremely nationalistic movement whose goal is to overthrow the current government and see themselves as the leaders of a future Costa Rican empire. |

 Northwest Homeland Flag
|
Northwest Homeland Flag (USA)
This is the flag of a very small far-right group calling themselves the Northwest Homeland. They are also known as the Northwest Migration project. They want all pure white people to migrate to the Pacific Northwest of the United States. They do this to resist what they call "ethnic cleansing," encourage their members to obtain firearms and learn to use them, and feel that within a century white people will become extinct worldwide unless they consolidate in the Pacific Northwest homeland.
This flag is a good example of how harmful racial meanings can be hidden in fairly harmless looking flags that can be displayed openly without causing comment. Most uninformed people would not notice this tricolored flag, or read anything sinister into it. |
 Rikshird Flag
 Rikshird Flag (black & white variant)
|
Norwegian National Union Party Flag Nasjonal Samling
In the same year that Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany (1933), Vidkun Abraham Lauritz Quisling formed the Nasjonal Samling, or National Union (Unity) Party in Norway. This party was styled after the German National Socialists under Hitler, and after the Germans invaded Norway became the only Norwegian party to be supported the Germans. Quisling assumed power as the new leader of Norway.
The Hird, or Rikshird, was a Norwegian form of the German SA or Storm Troopers. A loose translation of the ancient Norse hird would be "national or state follower." This black flag with a gold and red sun cross with upward pointing swords upon the two horizontal branches of the sun cross, was used by Rikshird collaboration forces during World War II, and is also in use today as a Neo-nazi symbol.
During the German occupation, each regiment in the Rikshird that used a flag would also have a specific emblem or the location of the regiment on the upper right quarter of the flag. |

 Săo Paulo neo-Nazi Flag
|
Săo Paulo Neo-Nazi Movement Flag (Brazil)
The largest concentration of Brazilian neo-Nazi are in Săo Paulo, an industrial city of more than 10 million people. Today, an estimated 1,000 neo-Nazis live in the city. Their policies still contain hatred of Jews, blacks, and homosexuals. They also advocate the secession of the more prosperous southern Brazil from the rest of the country.
A new major theme of Brazilian neo-Nazis is hatred of Nordestinos (Northeasterners), people from the impoverished Northeastern states who have migrated in increasing numbers to the large cities in search of a better life. The issue parallels immigration problems in Europe and the United States, stimulating the same popular fears of job loss and insecurity. Brazil's neo-Nazi, like their counterparts elsewhere, thrive on such fears. |

 Spanish Falange Party 1933 (original version)
 Spanish Falange Party (popular variant)
 Spanish Falange Party (modern variant)
|
Spanish Falange Parties
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.
The original Spanish Falange movement was founded in 1933 by José 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 Falange symbol on them.
Today, decades after the fall of the Franco Fascist dictatorship, Spain still has several minor Falangist organizations, represented by a number of tiny political parties. Chief among these are the Falange Espańola (de las Juntas de Ofensiva Nacionalsindicalista), Falange Espańola de las JONS, Falange Auténtica, Falange Espańola Independiente, and FE-La Falange.
These fascist inspired parties are rarely seen publicly except on the ballots, in State funded TV election advertisements, and during demonstrations on historic dates, such as November 20 celebration the death of both Jose Antonio Primo de Rivera and General Francisco Franco. For example, in the 2004 national elections, these parties combined received less than 28,000 votes between all of them. |
 Japanese Fascist Flag
 Japanese Fascist Flag (Swastika variant)
|
The Tohokai (Japan)
The Tohokai (Far East Society) was founded in 1936 by Seigo Nakano who advocated a fascist Japan. Their flag design was based on the Japanese letter meaning "east" and on the swastika. The ultranationalist Tohokai party supported the Imperial Japanese Navy and pressured the government to halt what they considered the Imperial Army's overly-ambitious aim of conquering all of Asia. This brought them in conflict with the pro-Imperialist faction led by General Hideki Tojo, who supported the interests of the Japanese Army and the continued conquest of the rest of Asia.
After Tojo's appointment as Prime Minister, Nakano unwisely continued to be verbally critical of the Tojo regime. He eventually was forbidden to publish articles or make public speeches. He committed seppuku (ritual suicide) in 1943 after being placed under house arrest.
The Tohohai Swastika Flag is based on the original flag of Tohokai with the addition of the swastika in the center replacing the stylized "Sun Wheel" design. It must be remembered that the swastika is very popular in Japan because it has been used as the symbol in Japanese temples for hundreds of years before the adoption of it by the National Socialist German Workers Party in the late 1920s.
The modern National Socialist Japanese Workers Party (Nationalsozialistische Japanische Arbeiterpartei) also have been known to use versions of these flags. |

 White Aryan Resistance
 White Aryan Resistance (black variant)
|
White Aryan Resistance (Sweden)
The symbol behind the sword is the ancient german rune for "Wolf's Angel," or werewolf. In the past this rune was a magical means to frighten away werewolves. According to ancient superstitions men were sometimes transformed into beings, half men, half wolves, that were extremely blood-thirsty and ferocious. These beings were called werewolves. In World War II, this sign was used by the Division Waffen SS Das Reich.
This National Socialist flag features the "Wolf's Angel" sign, and was used in Sweden in the 1990s. Two variants of the flag are shown to the left, but the one with the red field was used the most.
It is interesting to note that "Werewolves" was the name chosen for the guerrilla fighters Hitler and the Nazi planned to use to continue the fight against the invading Allies when Germany’s Wehrmacht was defeated and the German territory was occupied. |
 SSNP Flag
|
Syrian Social Nationalist Party al-Hizb as-Suri al-Qawmi al-Ijtima`i, or Parti Populaire Syrien
The Syrian Social Nationalist Party (SSNP) is a far-right political party in Syria and Lebanon. The party policies have been heavily influenced by Italian and German fascist ideology, which was reinforced by its imitation of the external symbols of the Nazi Party. It advocates the establishment of a Greater Syrian nation-state spanning the ancient Fertile Crescent, including present Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan, Israel, the Palestinian territories, Cyprus, Kuwait, Turkey and the Sinai Peninsula of Egypt.
SSNP was first founded in Beirut in 1932, became a major Syrian political force in the early 1950s, but was outlawed in 1955. In 2005, SSNP was again organized and joined the Baath Party-led National Progressive Front. In the 2007 election, SSNP won 2 out of 250 seats in the Syrian parliament. |
 Possiable Vigrid Flag
 Nasjonal Samling 1933-1945
|
The Vigrid Party (Norway)
Vigrid is a Norwegian neo-Nazi organization which combines racial teachings with the imagery of Norse mythology. Vigrid was founded in 1998, and in 2009 they ran for the parliamentary elections, but received less than 200 votes. The group has been known to display versions of the flag of the World Church of the Creator, as well as a flag displaying a fimbriated sun disc centered on the national flag.
Vigrid claims that non-Aryans are guilty of all the turmoil and problems around the world. They argue that the white race needs protection against extinction because of increased immigration of non-Aryans. They consider Adolf Hitler as a "savior," and deny the Jewish Holocaust claiming that the Jews were killed in the Allied bombings. They believe that the Jews now exploit the Holocaust for political and financial support. They are also appear to oppose Christianity, Islam, blacks and gays, but claim to distance themselves as a group from the use of all "offensive" violence.
The Norwegian Nazi party Nasjonal Samling used a golden sun cross on a red background as its official symbol from 1933 until 1945. The cross within a circle was ascribed to Saint Olaf, the patron saint of Norway, and the colors were those of the coat of arms of Norway. |
 Vlajka Flag
|
The Flag Movement 1928-1942 (Czechoslovakia) Vlajka

 White Legion 88 Flag
|
White Legion 88 Flag (Russia)
This flag is, of course, a variation of the Imperial German War Ensign, undoubtedly inspired by German World War I and World War II flags, and used by the Russian neo-Nazi organization White Legion 88.
Eighty-eight is used as code among Neo-Nazis to identify each other. H is the 8th letter of the alphabet, so 88 is taken to stand for HH which in turn means Heil Hitler. For example, the number is used in the song "88 rock'n'roll band" by the neo-Nazi group Landser. The late convicted Order terrorist David Lane wrote "Fourteen Words" and 88 Precepts, and the numbers are often found in combination (1488, 14/88, etc.). This form of the number has inspired the naming of the groups Column 88, Unit 88, and White Legion 88. |

World Church of the Creator Flag (USA)

Current Creativity Movement Flag (Swallow-tailed with hollowed halo) |
The current group sometimes calls itself "The Creativity Movement" and is an often violent white separatist organization that advocates a whites-only religion, Creativity. They consider Jews and nonwhites, whom they refer to as "mud races," to be the "natural enemies" of the white race. The movement's use of the term creator, however, does not refer to a deity, but rather to themselves, and despite the formal use of the word Church in its name, the movement is atheistic.
