Yeah, it would be wonderful if that symbol could eventually be reclaimed. Seems a bit far off though. Would English speakers know what you refer to if you say hakenkreuz?
In my native tongue it’s called hakekors, and I speak some German, so I’m not in a position to assess how understandable it would be to folks who only speak English.

I think calling it ‘hooked cross’ would be a good start.
