Achtung, achtung.
It's associated to Nazism, but not directly related to it.

Besides, you make this implication, and people will be tagging that goofy Buddhist symbol version as Nazi sympathizing.

A thousand times no. Go read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika before you herp your derp any more.

The swastika (Sanskrit: स्वस्तिक) is an equilateral cross with four arms bent at right angles.

The earliest archaeological evidence of swastika-shaped ornaments dates back to the Indus Valley Civilization of Ancient India as well as Classical Antiquity. Swastikas have also been used in various other ancient civilizations around the world. It remains widely used in Indian religions, specifically in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism, primarily as a tantric symbol to evoke shakti or the sacred symbol of auspiciousness. The word "swastika" comes from the Sanskrit svastika - "su" meaning "good," "asti" meaning "to be," and "ka" as a suffix. The swastika literally means "to be good".

In East Asia, the swastika is a Chinese character, defined by Kangxi Dictionary, published in 1716, as "synonym of myriad, used mostly in Buddhist classic texts"[1], by extension, the word later evolved to represent eternity and Buddhism.

Try again, fella.
