The White fist, also known as the Aryan fist or the White Power fist is a visual meme generally associated with National Socialism and White nationalism.

It is one graphical representation of the raised fist salute.

The Aryan Fist symbol has been called a twist on the fist representing the Black power movement and the battle against racial oppression.

It is also often incorporated into iconography related to other issues and themes which are supported by or related to many branches of White Nationalism.

Symbol

The fist may represent union, as "many weak fingers can come together to create a strong fist", and is also used to express solidarity. This symbolism may have sprung from usage of the clenched fist by trade unions.

The fist often represents "Power" (as in "with an iron fist") or "Strength", while the color white represents White nationalism.
