520 |a This article discusses the role of images within political religions, focusing on Soviet communism, Italian Fascism and German National Socialism. It first examines the role of the cult of the leader within political religions, and explores the subjectivity and malleability of the representation of these figures; it finds that the communist leader cults were more sophisticated than their fascist counterparts. It then looks into the role of specific emblems such as the hammer and Sickle, the bundle of switch, the Swastika. Finally it explores the use of parades and festivals by political religions as ways to eliminate the individual and create the collective person.
