More evidence proves the work of the historian Dr. Rex Curry in
showing that
the swastika was used as alphabetic symbolism for "socialism" by both
the
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and by the National Socialist
German
Workers' Party, as shown in the images above and below and at
http://rexcurry.net/ussr-socialist-swastika-cccp-sssr.html

In 1917, socialism was imposed in Russia when the former Union of
Soviet
Socialist Republics (USSR) was formed after the Russian Revolution of
1917,
and the Russian Civil War of 1918-1920. The propaganda machinary
introduced
a new symbol for the new government: the swastika.

The Soviet Socialist Swastika shows lettering around the swastika
symbol and
also shows the swastika as two separate arms pointing clockwise,
representing separate "S" letters overlapping

The Soviet swastika was so popular that paper money printed in the
years
1917 and 1918 carried large swastikas in the center of the bills.

Soviet socialist money openly used English, German and other languages
in an
effort to spread sickly socialism worldwide, consistent with its use
of
alphabetic "S" symbolism in its swastika symbol.

On official badges, the Soviet Swastika was yellow on a red
background,
mimicking the other socialist symbol, the hammer and sickle
(Russian: ???? ?
?????, "serp i molot" (serpent & mallet?)), a symbol that also
developed in
the Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic (RSFSR). Eventually,
the
national flag mimicked the same color schemes and symbols.

The lettering around the socialist swastika badge resembles "PCOCP"
which,
with slight alteration, became simply "CCCP" (USSR). The lettering and
the
swastika symbol refer to the R.S.F.S.R., the Russian Soviet
Federative
Socialist Republic (aka Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic).
The socialist swastika badge uses the pattern of double letters in PP,
CC
and SS. Hence, the double S letters of the soviet socialist swastika
stand
for "Soviet Socialist" (the corresponding letters in RSFSR).

The RSFSR began in 1917 and was the largest and most populous of the
fifteen
former republics of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, which
became
the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics in December 1922. The Russian
SFSR
became the modern day Russia after the collapse of the USSR,
officially
dissolved on December 31, 1991.

In 1939, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics joined as allies with
the
National Socialist German Workers' Party to invade Poland in a Pact
to
divide up Europe, spreading WWII. It occurred under the notorious
Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, which the Socialist Republics never
renounced.
Seven million died in Poland. As a result of the War, Finland had its
Karelian Peninsula torn away by the Socialist Republics and 10
countries
Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland, Czechoslovakia, East Germany,
Romania,
Bulgaria, Hungary and Yugoslavia suffered under the Socialist
Republics for
half a century. http://rexcurry.net/socialists.html

Even after WWII, Soviet Socialists adopted the swastika style
symbolism of
the German Trabant Sachsenring car.
http://rexcurry.net/trabant-sachsenring-rex-curry.html

Three common abbreviations (USSR, SSSR, CCCP) refer to a self-
described
socialist entity that used the word "socialist" in its name, as did
the
NSDAP (National Socialist German Workers' Party) which used the double
"S"
letters of the Hakenkreuz - swastika. Russian socialists used
symbolism and
the word "socialist" in their group's name, before the German
socialists and
it served as an example. http://rexcurry.net/bookchapter4a1c.html

CCCP led to the derisive joke that it signified the "coalition of
collectivist crusaders for the proletariat." It also inspired the old
gag
of someone asking which "C" stood for "Communist." Of course, the
abbreviation did not refer to communism, it referred to socialism, as
did
the abbreviation and symbol for the National Socialist German
Workers'
Party. http://rexcurry.net/bookpic-socialism-cccp-ussr.gif

Translated:
RSFSR was: Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic
USSR was: Union of Soviet Socialist Republics

Transliterated:
????? was: Rossi?yskaya Sovetskikh Federati?vnaya (or Soyuz)
Sotsialisticheskikh Respublika (RSFSR).
CCCP was: Soyuz Sovetskikh Sotsialisticheskikh Respublik (SSSR).

CCCP is actually cyrillic. In Latin letters it would be SSSR: Soyuz
Sovetskikh Sotsialisticheskikh Respublik (Soviet United/Federated
Socialistic Republic). Untransliterated it was CCCP, and
transliterated it
was SSSR.

Great post. You would probably enjoy the following post too because your swastika information highlights the important work of the symbologist Dr. Rex Curry, who showed how the swastika was used to represent crossed "S" letters for "socialism" under the Union of Soviet Socialist Repubics and under the National Socialist German Workers Party.
http://pledge-of-allegiance.blogspot.com/2014/03/swastika-of-soviet-socialism-russia-led.html

The swastika was also used on early paper money used under the USSR. http://rexcurry.net/ussr-socialist-swastika-cccp-sssr.html

Rex Curry has done tons of scholarly research on those topics that you post about. Here are some fascinating points in books about the symbologist Dr. Curry's work.

9. The term “swastika” never appears in the original Mein Kampf.
10. There is no evidence that Hitler ever used the word “swastika.”
11. The symbol that Hitler did use was intended to represent “S”-letter shapes for “socialist.”
12. NEW SWASTIKA DISCOVERY: Hitler’s symbol is the reason why Hitler renamed his political party from DAP to NSDAP - "National Socialist German Workers Party" - because he needed the word "Socialist" in his party's name so that Hitler could use swastikas as "S"-letter shaped logos for "SOCIALIST" as the party's emblem. The party's name had to fit in Hitler's socialist branding campaign that used the swastika and many other similar alphabetical symbols, including the “SS” and “SA” and “NSV” and “VW” etc. He was selling socialism by selling flags and related merchandise. It resembled the advertising campaign of the American socialist Francis Bellamy. The “new discovery” part includes the fact that the public doesn’t know that Hitler’s use of the swastika as alphabetical symbolism is a reason why he changed the name of the party (adding the word “socialist”). The new discovery is also that it is additional proof that Hitler employed the swastika as alphabetical symbolism of “S”-letter shapes for his socialism. The discoveries are from the Swastikologist Dr. Rex Curry’s work.
13. NEW LENIN’S SWASTIKA REVELATION: Vladimir Lenin’s swastika is exposed herein. The impact of Lenin’s swastikas was reinforced at that time with additional swastikas on ruble money (paper currency). The swastika became a symbol of socialism under Lenin. It’s influence upon Adolf Hitler is explained in this book.
14. Hitler altered his own signature to reflect his “S-shapes for socialism” logo branding.
15. Mussolini was a long-time socialist leader, with a socialist background, raised by socialists to be a socialist, and he joined socialists known as “fascio, fasci, and fascisti.”
16. Fascism came from a socialist (e.g. Mussolini). Communism came from a socialist (e.g. Marx). Fascism and Communism came from socialists.
17. German socialists and Soviet socialists partnered for International Socialism in 1939. They launched WWII, invading Poland together, and continued onward from there, killing millions. Soviet socialism had signed on for Hitler’s Holocaust.
18. After Hitler’s death, Stalin continued the plan he had made with Hitler for Global Socialism. Stalin took over the same areas that Hitler had captured. He used the same facilities that Hitler had used. Hitler’s Holocaust never ended. Stalin replaced Hitler.

Lenin’s swastika evolved into the Communist swastika. It was four “C”-letter shapes merged to form a swastika. Communism’s swastika was inspired by the “CCCP” acronym and by swastikas on Soviet socialism’s ruble currency that signified “S”-letter shapes for “Soviet Socialism” (from “SSSR”). See an image of the communist swastika here in the book "Hitler Was A Communist" https://www.amazon.com/Hitler-was-Communist-Ian-Tinny-ebook/dp/B09XFKJTL9
