Thank god mussolini didn't come up with the idea to use a red star...

It is pretty much the italian equivalent of the swastica, arguably more extreme/unambiguous, but outside italy it it's mostly not understood, so it passes with little comment. Especially since Fascist Italy didn't actually participate in the holocaust in quite the numbers that Nazi Germany did.

Yes I am aware of that, I can read wiki myself, thx.
In Switzerland it's the crest of a canton:



NAZI SWITZERLAND!

btw: is it possible you're a little fascistoid? Or are you just German?
