The thing is though, most people do distinguish them quite heavily. The hammer and sickle is still frequently used as an international symbol of worker's liberation while the swastika, black sun, etc are firmly attached to one of the greatest atrocities in human history. To compare them as equals, even without their direct relation in history, is extremely strange and something that only fascists would typically do in an effort to downplay the holocaust
