I didn’t say against that. The fascist powers have made their mark on the symbols that is true. As I said, it is what people associate.

Do swastikas, hammers, stars etc. have positive meanings originally? Yes

Have fascist dictatorships ussd those symbols with horrible atrocities in the past and even today? Yes

Do people generally associate the latter? Yes

Symbols are just part of language, which evolves. Drop “fag” in a conversation in the uk and nobody bats an eye. Do it in the US, however…
