Made a jab online about an artist posting it, and getting pushback saying that since it's creation, it has been adopted by some communist orgs.
From what I can find, it seems to have been used by a French socialist party for a few decades, but nothing beyond that that isn't socdem parties.
So i guess yeah, anyone know of any full on commie groups that have ever adopted it?
Bad because of its association with the SPD in Germany using it as an expression of "both sides" style anti-communism ( "we oppose all forms of authoritarianism, now off to snitch out Rosa and the KPD to the freikorps so they all get murdered!"), which helped usher in Nazism.
IMO, if a symbol has any significant popularity among western leftists in particular, it probably sucks.
