The Anti-Fascist Action were backed by the German Communist Party.
The Iron Front were set up by SocDems as an anti-communist alternative to AntiFa.
Because as we all know, the only way to fight disease is to oppose medicine and promote a homeopathic snake oil instead.
Idk I’ve been reliably informed by a fairly inteligent anarchist I know that the Three Arrows was used before the SocDems got ahold of it, and that the third arrow originally meant capitalism not communism. He had like, evidence but I didnt save it. So personally I dont have the problem with the three arrows most people have. Its not like most people that use it are using it with that intention anyway.
I’ll wait on that evidence.
As soon as in June 1932, the three arrows became the official sign of the Iron Front, the anti-Nazi organization of the German Social Democratic Party. According to the authors’ concept and the original interpretation of the sign, the arrows were to symbolize the social democratic movement opposing reaction, capitalism and fascism. maybe?
This is a crap article, it completely glosses over 100% historical usage of 3 arrows as anticommunist symbol after the original one by SPD, and i find it highly suspicious that Polish site missed its usage as the logo of militant faction of PPS, party very much anticommunist and analogue to SPD.
