Martin Zilvar, Masaryk University, Faculty of Social Studies, Department of Political Science, Ph.D. student<\/em><\/p>\n This article investigates the Gadsden flag\u2019s extremist potential. Initially, it addresses the differences between European and American approaches to extremism. Based on rigorous analysis of its historical development, current employment, and observation of three selected far-right rallies, the article conceptualizes the Gadsden flag\u2019s denotation and connotations. Moreover, it proposes a definition of extremist symbols derived from the existing literature whose key elements concurrently serve as assessment parameters. It concludes with a discussion about the Gadsden flag\u2019s position among other far-right symbols.<\/p>\n
