The Flag of American National Socialism
Liliana Ionescu
As American National Socialism rises, it demands more than words — it demands a standard. A flag, bold and unmistakable, to embody the honor, unity, and destiny of our movement.
Too many of our movement today cling to foreign banners — flags of the German Reich, symbols burdened by historical distortion and misunderstanding. We honor our German roots, but we are not German National Socialists. We are American National Socialists — and our future demands symbols that speak to our people, our soil, and our mission.
American National Socialism (ANS) places the white race above sectarian divides, while recognizing the foundational importance of religious morality. The two great religious streams influencing us — Christianity and Norse Paganism — together have shaped the moral framework that drives our movement.
The flag we now present was forged with purpose: to honor religious roots without preference, to reflect American heritage without weakness, and to show the strength of our ancestors reborn in a new generation.
The design of the American National Socialist flag draws inspiration from the historic Betsy Ross flag — a flag that once represented revolution, independence, and the birth of a new nation. However, while the original Betsy Ross flag celebrated the founding of the United States, our adaptation reimagines these principles for a far greater struggle: the survival and renewal of our people. Just as the early Americans fought for their right to exist free from tyranny, so too must we fight today for the survival of the White race and the restoration of true order. The historic roots are honored, but the symbolism has been reforged to serve the challenges of our time.
In the canton — the upper left field of the flag — a dark blue background frames the triquetra, an ancient European symbol. Among the pagan traditions, the triquetra symbolized the cycles of life: maiden, mother, and crone. It captured the natural rhythms of life, death, and rebirth that govern the natural world. Among Christians, the same symbol represents the Holy Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Across these traditions, the triquetra speaks to unity, eternity, and divine order — concepts at the heart of a healthy and enduring civilization. By placing the triquetra on our flag, we declare that our movement is rooted in the eternal truths of nature and spirit, and that we recognize the strength that comes from honoring both faith and tradition. It is not simply a decoration; it is a testament to the endurance of our culture across millennia and the unbreakable link between faith, identity, and destiny.
For American National Socialists, the triquetra specifically represents the unity of White people across religious lines, the perseverance of our race against all forces that seek to erase it, and our unwavering rejection of the moral decay that has plagued modern society. It symbolizes the recognition that while we may worship differently, our blood, our values, and our destiny are shared. It binds us not only to each other but to the ancient rhythms of nature, reminding us that the survival of a people depends on their commitment to the eternal laws written into creation itself.
Surrounding the triquetra are twelve stars — a deliberate choice, distinct from the original thirteen of the American colonies. To Christians, the twelve stars immediately evoke the Twelve Apostles, the foundation stones of the Church, and the vision of Joseph in Genesis, where he sees twelve stars bowing in prophetic submission. These images speak to divine destiny, spiritual leadership, and the natural hierarchy ordained by God. In pagan and National Socialist tradition, the number twelve also carries profound meaning. It calls to mind the twelve runes surrounding the Black Sun, a symbol of hidden knowledge, spiritual awakening, and racial memory — as well as certain traditions that speak of twelve realms or worlds in Norse cosmology. In both traditions, twelve is a number of completeness, order, and cosmic design. Thus, the twelve stars on our flag weave together faith, destiny, and cosmic law, symbolizing that our movement is not random or reactionary but rooted in the deep, sacred structures of the universe.
The stripes of our flag represent the thirteen original American colonies, a tribute to the soil from which our nation sprang. But these stripes are not laid out passively; they are forged into a lightning bolt pattern, evoking the disciplined strength of the German Schutzstaffel while adapting it for the American spirit. The lightning bolts are not merely aesthetic, they represent the necessity of action, the precision of thought, and the unity of will. Strength, when properly directed, brings order; it does not sow chaos. Through the bolt pattern, we affirm that our movement is not a disorderly rebellion but a righteous struggle to restore natural order to a world descending into chaos.
The colors of our flag further deepen its meaning. Blue represents perseverance: the unyielding will to survive and thrive despite the relentless forces arrayed against us. It speaks to the spirit that refuses to be crushed by censorship, by slander, or by betrayal. It is the calm, deep strength of a people who endure.
Red represents strength and honor: the lifeblood of our ancestors and the fire of our convictions. Red demands sacrifice but promises glory. It reminds us that without courage, without honor, and without the willingness to fight, no people can hope to survive the trials of history.
White represents purity, virtue, and the sacredness of the people we defend. It is not merely the color of skin, but the color of spirit: the striving for excellence, goodness, and moral clarity. Strength without virtue is savagery; might without morality is tyranny. In placing white alongside red, we declare that strength and virtue must walk hand in hand — that power must be harnessed to protect, uplift, and preserve, never to degrade or destroy.
Together, these elements create a flag that does not merely recall the past but points boldly toward the future: a future in which our people reclaim their destiny, their dignity, and their rightful place in the world.
Together, these elements declare who we are: a people proud of our roots, committed to our destiny, and unwilling to be forgotten. This flag is more than an image; it is a symbol of our will to endure. It reminds us that we do not build our future on foreign soil or under foreign slogans, but here — with the strength of our ancestors, the virtues of our faiths, and the blood and spirit of our people. Through this standard, we honor the past, stand firm in the present, and lay claim to the future. We are American National Socialists. We do not kneel before the lies of history, nor do we fracture over divisions that pale before our common blood. We move forward, united, bearing a banner worthy of our people and the destiny that awaits us.
