Must a disgraced symbol be reclaimed at all?
The ancient swastika served its time, the nazi swastika served its time and place - I just wonder - for someone who isn't the least bit superstitious, where does the need to resurrect a graphic symbol - especially such a loaded one - come from? Is there a gap in the world right now that needs filling by the nazi emblem? I mean, apart from the needs of the fetishists, of course

I suppose there is no need to reclaim the swastika, anymore than there is a need to reclaim any other symbol. I suppose I find it an interesting discussion as to wether or not we should reclaim it. I think that in time it will be reclaimed and reused, much as the cross was.
