Hi :) I think the "..." bit hides crucial context = "(symbolising the idea that power will eventually destroy itself)."
Without that context the meaning seems to be reversed. Crass were not combining those "icons of authority" to show respect to all or any of them!! Quite the reverse! They were so anti-authority that they made it clear their was no leader of their own band, even using household lighting and avoiding spot-lights or highlighting any member of their band in any way. Apparently they were anti-war, anti-consumerist and pro-feminist but evenly split between being pacifist or direct-action. They took part in precursors to the anti-globalisation rallies, supporting GreenPeace. Their militaristic logo does seem a bit chilling to me and a lot of their actions seem quite questionable but back in their day there wasn't such a large number of strong world-wide community organisations producing such positive and well known alternatives to corporate greed. Maybe if they were around now they would be highly active in communities such as TDF without needing (or being forced into) the negative aspects of their rage.
