I agree with and commend all of that, except for the phrase 'not symbols.' The clear truth of the matter is that most of us, East or West, who are cognizant of modern history and the use of symbols herein, would run a mile before agreeing to the use of swastikas/fylfots for our favorite social movement. The politically restrained people of contemporary China are somewhat in the unfortunate position indicated by the old saw 'Beggars can't be choosers.'
