The Swastika is regarded as the symbol of National Socialism, and is often used in National Socialist Insignia.

National Socialism (abbreviated NS or NatSoc) is a 20th Century Third Positionist Sociopolitical, Philosophical, and Economic Ideology originating in Germany and became the political orientation of the Third Reich under Adolf Hitler from 1933 to 1945. The Goal of National Socialism is the establishment of an Racially Homogeneous Millitant society of Aryans (known as the Volkish State) based on a shared struggle for the survival and evolution of the race. National Socialists equates Nationality with Race and reject Enlightenment principles such as the separation of man from nature and Negative Liberty. National Socialist societies also involve the absence of Usury, Fractional-Reserve Banking, and activities that weaken or attempt to deconstruct of the race and by extension the Nation.

Variants of National Socialism have been developed throughout its Post-War History, Including but not limited to Strasserism, Ecofascism, Yockeyism and Esoteric Hitlerism. Although in theory National Socialism can be adopted by non-White societies, due to the cultural background of its development and its uniquely European outlook, the majority of National Socialists are also White Nationalists. National Socialists today disagree on how exactly they will achieve the Volkish State, some feel that It is possible to gain political influence through electoral politics, while others believe that the political infrastructure of the west has failed, and thus that the only viable option is to accelerate its collapse or prepare for the death of the West so a new society can be built from scratch. Many in both groups however, agree that the best immediate course of action is the development of a culture independent of the modern West.

After the Defeat of the Third Reich in WWII, National Socialism had been deemed immoral by most of the Western World due to Allied atrocity propaganda, and over 70 years of cultural deconstruction. Because of this, today many National Socialists are disadvantaged when attempting to engage in ideological discourse with the outside world.
