Get to France
I was conflicted in France in the '90s - the BNP bank, the FN National Front, the fact Gaullist graffiti was always fascist despite Gaul fighting actual Nazis.
Just on unofficial branding, it's important. Local Scottish fascists ran as independents in 2007, and they used a black thistle symbol. Several of them faced police interviews due to unsolved crimes I'd committed as an anarchist, signing my vandalism with a black thistle. I stole that symbol from the excellent, decent, but crappy Partick Thistle FC, and made it legally toxic before the fascists adopted it.
There is no legal jurisdiction but if you are an extremist organisation then it pays to do basic research on the symbols your opponents have used.
I grew up in a punk town with a lot of Crass graffiti. My mates were in a band called Abort The System so they'd spray ATS everywhere. Then the tyre company ATS (Associated Tyre Specialists) moved to my town and it killed their brand. They are now a middle-aged Clash tribute band which is just sad.
