The red is probably for communism, the colours are the same as the anarcho-communism flag. Personally, I’ve always associated fascism with black, no idea why.
i mean i’m pretty sure the nazis chose those colours specifically to benefit from being associated with socialism, the party’s full name is literally the “national socialists” after all, the whole thing about nazism is taking something popular and using it for evil.
I more associate them with brown anyways, that’s way more unique to fascism. EVERYONE uses red white and black, they’re literally the first colours every language creates words for.
Hitler was black (I mean… hopefully you know what I mean!?:-P), while Russia and China are red, so they truly could go either way.
In the USA I tend to associate antifa with black, probably bc Trump supporters are red - but as in red (Republican/“conservative”) vs. blue (Democrat/“liberal”) (yeah extremely heavy quotes on those terms… 😮💨).
Anyway, that would mean that the entirety of the Fediverse servers were antifa, which seems to contrast with Lemmygrad.ml and lemmy.ml that featured so prominently in its software development?
So either way it is a bit confusing, to me at least.
Black flags are specifically anarchist. Red flags are specifically communist/Marxist. Red and black flags bisected tend towards things like anarcho-syndicalism and anarcho-communism, or even just socialist solidarity.
Communists are supposed to be antifa, which is not a strictly anarchist thing. It’s supposed to be a Popular Front-style alliance.
Oh right, thanks. Indeed as you say it gets complicated, when up is down and left is upside down and right is inside out, due to people lacking morals wanting to associate themselves with “good things” despite being the polar opposite of those precise things.

The swastika on German Nazi flags were black. Of course they also were mostly red (and had a white circle).
Red, white, and black is definitely a choice though. Maybe picking a color that wasn’t on the Nazi flag would have been better for this sticker.
That’s just the colours of regular AntiFa stickers:
