Talk:Arrow Cross

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The history/background bit is nonsensical and should be removed.

The use of a similar symbol by the Hungarian fascist Arrow Cross movement (which remains outlawed in Hungary as of 2006) and the American racist movement Crosstar is apparently coincidental (as the American group recognizes) even if there are similarities between the two movements. The American Crosstar group has no connections to Hungary; a merger of the articles is thus unwarranted despite similarities of ideology, particularly racism and antisemitism along with a contempt for democracy. If anything, the American Crosstar has more in common with the Ku Klux Klan than with any European fascism.--66.231.41.57 19:22, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

I concur. These two articles should NOT be merged. They have little in common beyond having similar designs.--Thalia42 03:52, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

FALSE COLORS

The Hungarian nationalsocialist used only green Arrow-Cross, so they flags followed the Hungarian national colors (red-white-green). Please see it http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Hungarista_Mozgalom_jelk%C3%A9pei , and copy here.

SOURCE

The seconds source claims false things. An early portrayal shows king St. László with that arrow cross. Except this, the cited site is likely to be strongly anti-Hungarian (suggesting that Hungarian tribes were only heroes in the eyes of fascists)


[edit] About the proposed merge into arrow cross party

  • Strong Support This article is not about the cross perse but (except for a single line) only about its use by the Arrow Cross party. Arnoutf 16:59, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose. This cross has other uses besides that of the Arrow Cross Party. —Psychonaut 23:22, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
Comment Please develop these other uses, as it is now without the fascist use, only a one line stub remains Arnoutf 17:54, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
