"The swastika is, after the simple equilateral cross (the "Greek cross"), the next most commonly found version of the cross.
Seen as a cross, the four lines emanating from the center point to the four cardinal directions. The most common association is with the Sun. Other proposed correspondences are to the visible rotation of the night sky in the Northern Hemisphere around Polaris."

Sir, I don't think you realize that they're all technically symbols of peace, counter-clockwise or not. It isn't like the Nazis invented their own swastika, they used the pre-existing symbol, and that symbol went on to be synonymous with the Nazi party. Anyway, they're all the same swastika. -4 for short-sightedness.
Tastyqqq's is 100% correct on this matter. Pre World War II, the Swatstika in any form, was used to represent peace, and luck and what not, however during the rise of the National Socialist Party(Nazi) in Germany, the Nazi's became associated with the Symbol that represented them and it's true meaning was overwhelmed by the memory of the atrocities commited by the Nazi's during the WW2 era.
no, i am afraid it is not that simple. the oldest extant artifacts bearing a swastika show the right-facing symbol. prior to hitler's rise to power, the nazi party used both left- and right-facing swastikas. the nazi naval ensign displayed a right-facing swastika on the obverse and a left-facing swastika on the reverse. if you want to say "nazi" with a single symbol, either one will accomplish it for most people.
Most people recognize that any benevolent ideas the manji and swastika might have stood for where corrupted when the nazis associated itself with them. Most places and groups that still use this as a symbol of peace are simply very distant from the holocaust and it's victims, even if they are 'technically' not showing a nazi symbol.
Actually every swastika, doesn't matter in which direction it goes too, or whenever its rounded or any other shape - is never a political symbole. I studied Symbolism, Religions and Germanistic for 5 years. And even the swastikas the 3.Reich used was used before in different cultures like the Mayas/Inkas.
Regards ;)
in a designer perspective the swastika will always be related to nazis forever, that cant be undone, no matter the direction of it. And @ airbourned: "ROFL HEBREW SCHOOL AND HISTORY CLASS, ALL THAT'S GARBAGE, the holocaust
never happened", if you live in europe, you can go to prison for just saying that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocaust_denial
"The use of the swastika was associated by Nazi theorists with their conjecture of Aryan cultural descent of the German people. Following the Nordicist version of the Aryan invasion theory, the Nazis claimed that the early Aryans of India, from whose Vedic tradition the swastika sprang, were the prototypical white invaders. It was also widely believed that the Indian caste system had originated as a means to avoid racial mixing. The concept of Racial purity was an ideology central to Nazism though it is now
"The swastika was used for badges and flags throughout Nazi Germany...the DAP and the NSDAP had used both right-facing and left-facing swastikas...Ralf Stelter notes that the swastika flag used on land had a right-facing swastika on both sides, while the ensign (naval flag) had it printed through so that you would see a left-facing swastika when looking at the ensign with the flagpole to the right." YOU LOSE.
