While visiting New York (before 1875), Blavatsky met Colonel Henry Steel 
Olcott (U.S. army, retired), a writer for the New York Daily Graphic. It was 
the beginning of a long association. In 1875 Colonel Olcott and H. P. 
Blavatsky organized the Theosophical Society (TS). The Society grew rapidly 
and soon after became international.
The Theosophical Society touted the explicit collectivist goal of "universal 
brotherhood." The political product was socialism and self-sacrifice to 
government by calling it the "greater good."
The TS reveals no knowledge of economics, markets, prices, trade or private 
property rights.
Theosophy is similar to other civic, religious or philosophical groups where 
followers are easily misled to embrace socialism.
The TS dogma included oddball theories about superior races, superior 
societies, sub races, and seven primary root races, including the "Aryan" 
race, which Blavatsky described as superior to some other "races" (Cf. H. P. 
Blavatsky, The Secret Doctrine 1:642; G. de Purucker, Fundamentals of the 
Esoteric Philosophy,. 294-5; also "The Root-Race and Its Sub-Divisions," 
Studies in Occult Philosophy, pp. 35-9).
As early 1875, Blavatsky's famous personal seal employed a swastika symbol 
and promoted the swastika throughout the TS (Jinarajadasa, p. 19 with the 
heading 'H.P.B.'s Seal in 1875' and The Theosophist, August 1931, p. 645). 
The swastika is the top-most symbol of seven symbols, and the swastika is 
placed underneath a royal crown and directly atop another central symbol, a 
hexagram (six points), with the other six symbols in a circular arrangement 
around the six points. Blavatsky's seal also employs alphabetic symbolism in 
the form of Blavatsky's initials in the center of the seal.
Guido von List (and his followers such as Lanz von Liebenfels) later took up 
some of Blavatsky's ideas and also influenced the National Socialist German 
Workers' Party.
The swastika that Blavatsky used is unusual because it is exactly like the 
swastika adopted later by the National Socialist German Workers' Party 
(NSGWP) and otherwise known as "the socialist swastika" : The swastika sits 
on a point (it is turned 45 degrees to the horizontal) and the arms point 
clockwise.
The historian Dr. Rex Curry (author of "Swastika Secrets") showed how that 
style of swastika emphasizes the "S" letters for "Socialism," or the 
"Superior Socialists" or "Socialist Society."
Although the swastika was an ancient symbol, Professor Rex Curry proved that 
it was used later by German National Socialists to represent "S" letters for 
their "socialism," as well as an "N" letter overlapping an "S" letter for 
"National Socialism."

With a 45 degree turn of his Hakenkreuz, the leader of the NSGWP combined 
the swastika with socialism, and merged religion and state. That method had 
already been pursued by Blavatsky and the Theosophical Society. 
http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-swastika.html
It is further proof of Dr. Curry's work that in 1939 (when the National 
Socialist German Workers' Party joined as allies with the Union of Soviet 
Socialist Republics to invade Poland in a pact to divide up Europe, 
spreading WWII), Arundale converted "The Adyar News" into "The Theosophical 
World" and he chose a swastika symbol that pointed counterclockwise, and 
that swastika symbol also showed Arundale's understanding that the earlier 
TS swastika had represented two separate overlapping "S" letters for 
"socialism."
During Blavatsky's time in the USA, the swastika became a widely popular 
symbol. It was also known as the crooked cross, Hakenkreuz (hooked cross), 
twisted cross, etc.
The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) supports Dr. Curry's discovery that the 
swastika was used by German National Socialists to symbolize entwined "S" 
letters for "socialism."

A German occultist revival began in 1884 with the foundation of the German 
section of the Theosophical Society under the presidency of Dr. Wilhelm 
Hübbe-Schleiden.
In 1902 Dr. Rudolph Steiner became Secretary-General of the German section 
of the Theosophical Society.  In 1912, he and a group of his followers broke 
away from the TS and founded the Anthroposophical Society.
In 1888, Bellamy Clubs (Nationalist Clubs) gained the backing of the 
Theosophical Society and its leader, Madam Blavatsky. Theosophists saw in 
the Nationalist Movement a practical means to further their "ideal of 
universal brotherhood." (see Arthur E. Morgan in his biography, Edward 
Bellamy, 1948, pp. 260-75; see also The Key to Theosophy by H. P. Blavatsky, 
pp. 44-5. -- K.V.M.]
Nationalist Clubs were inspired by Edward Bellamy and his famous utopian 
novel set in the year 2000, "Looking Backward from 2000 to 1887," published 
in 1888. It was the third largest bestseller of its time and was known as 
the Bible of National Socialism. It appears by title in many of the major 
socialist writings of the day. The book was tranlsated into every major 
language including German, Russian and Chinese. "Nationalist Clubs" sprang 
up in the USA and worldwide to tout the book's ideas. It inspired the 
"Nationalist Party" (in the USA). The dogma even influenced socialists in 
the countries of the socialist Wholecaust (of which the Holocaust was a 
part): 65 million dead under the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics; 49 
million under the Peoples' Republic of China; 21 million under the National 
Socialist German Workers' Party (NSGWP). It's ideas of self-sacrifice and 
altruism were the same ideas that led to the worst loss of life in human 
history.
Blavatsky touted the dogma by travelling extensively to Germany, India and 
worldwide (The Esoteric World of Madame Blavatsky: Reminiscences and 
Impressions by Those Who Knew Her by Daniel H. Caldwell: Chapter 14, Germany 
and Return to India 1884-1885; Chapter 15, From India to Italy and Germany, 
1885; Chapter 16, Germany 1886). After Bellamy's book "Looking Backward," 
Blavatsky continued to promote Theosophy and National Socialism in Germany 
and worldwide.
Edward Bellamy had also spent a year in Germany, learning to speak and write 
German and attending lectures and studying German socialism.  Edward's 
brother Frederick stated that Edward had talked and read about socialism 
before Edward went to Germany. Frederick wrote that Edward's letters to him 
from Germany were full of German socialism which "he had read and studied 
much at home." (see Sylvia E. Bowman's 1958 book The Year 2000).

In November, 1888, Edward personally made a contract with an interpreter to 
translate his book into German (see the biography by Arthur Morgan, p. 65).
In 1891, American advertisements listed German-language editions of 
Bellamy's book and stated that the socialist's novel "Lays the foundation of 
the Nationalist Movement." 
http://rexcurry.net/bellamy-charles-edward1891.pdf
The adverstisements coincide with Edward Bellamy's "Nationalist" magazine, 
published by the "Nationalist Educational Association."

The German translation not only promoted National Socialism in Germany, it 
also promoted National Socialism in America and cultivated those Americans 
who later supported the USA's German-American Bund movement that supported 
the National Socialist German Workers' Party.  The socialist movement in the 
USA was dominated by German-Americans.
Edward Bellamy also influenced his cousin Francis Bellamy, famous for the 
Pledge of Allegiance.  Francis created the Pledge to promote their dogma in 
government schools. The Bellamys admired the military and they wanted the 
entire economy to ape the military. They called their dogma "military 
socialism" and they wanted to create the "industrial army" through 
government takeover of all schools.
When the government granted their wish, government schools imposed 
segregation by law and taught racism as official policy. It served as a bad 
example for three decades before the NSGWP. The practice in the USA even 
outlasted the NSGWP by more than 15 years.
The Bellamys were bigots, racists, and xenophobes and they obsessed about 
new immigrants coming into the USA. Edward's book "Equality" (1897) shows 
his intolerance for individuality and his desire for universal brotherhood 
by making everyone the same through government force in government schools 
(socialist schools).
Francis Bellamy's early pledge was the origin of the straight-arm salute of 
the NSGWP, as discovered by the historian Dr. Rex Curry, author of "Pledge 
of Allegiance Secrets." Shocking photos are on the web.
http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-pledge.html
People were persecuted when they showed independence and individuality by 
rejecting the robotic chanting and straight-arm salute to the national flag. 
That was the flag of the USA (the stars and stripes) and of Germany (the 
swastika flag) as the persecution happened at the same time.  There was 
government violence and lynchings in Germany and the USA.
A Harvard graduate, Ernst Hanfstaengl, personally assisted the leader of the 
NSGWP in promoting national socialism with more ideas from America.
http://rexcurry.net/swastika-hanfstaengl.html
The National Socialist German Workers' Party clearly patterned itself upon 
the National Socialism promoted by socialists in the USA during the three 
decades before the NSGWP existed.
Three decades before the National Socialist German Workers' Party existed, 
socialists in the USA had promoted National Socialism, the straight-arm 
salute, collective robotic chanting, and the modern swastika as an "S" 
symbol for "socialism."
The USA still follows similar anti libertarian policies promoted by the 
Bellamys and by socialists in the Theosophical Society. Many socialist 
policies caused the USA's big, expensive, oppressive government, its 
aggressive military socialism, and its growing police state. It caused the 
Great Socialist Depression (from the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, the 
Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act 1930 etc) that persisted and even lasted through 
U.S. involvement in WWII. The Pledge still exists along with laws mandating 
that teachers lead the robotic chanting every day for twelve years of each 
child's life (though the salute was altered). The government still owns and 
operates schools, including the same schools that imposed segregation by law 
and taught racism as official government policy.  That policy even outlasted 
the National Socialist German Workers' Party by over 15 years. After 
segregation in government's schools ended, the Bellamy legacy caused more 
police-state racism of forced busing that destroyed communities and 
neighborhoods and deepened hostilities. Those schools still exist.  Infants 
are given social security numbers (socialist slave numbers from 1935 during 
the NSGWP) that track and tax everyone for life.  Government schools 
(socialist schools) demand the numbers for enrollment.
It shows how close the USA moved toward (and is still moving toward) 
socialism. Many Americans serve as sad examples of how authoritarian 
governments come into existence, grow so large, last so long, and kill so 
many. The dogma of socialism is still growing all over the world.
