It seems every day I log onto leddit, every single city sub is infested with these vampires gaslighting comment sections about M4A being unpopular, tenants rights being bad, Bidenposting, and any other bad faith take you can imagine. They've taken over that piece of shit of a website and it's sickening to see the only remaining useful parts of Reddit fall prey to their bullshit.
/r/NEOLIBERAL IS FUCKING EVERYWHERE. EVERY FUCKING SUB. APPARANTLY /r/IRONFRONTUSA GOT TAKEN OVER BY IT, LIKE NO WONDER, FUCK THOSE PEOPLE.
There's some pretty open astroturfing going on there.
These accounts are legit posting like it is their goddamn job. It makes my skin crawl
Iron front bullshit is always lib anyway
Unless.....
(I just think the symbol is super useful and good, as it's easy as hell to draw/tag)
It's a good symbol, but we're not just gonna completely change the meaning. I don't think that would be ideal, anyway. Imagine you see someone with an iron front symbol and you genuinely have no idea whether they're explicitly anti-communist because the symbol has been co-opted so much. Why would we want that situation to come about?
I think most people who use three arrows are already not anti-communist. At least, that's been my experience in soccer circles after the Iron Front ban in MLS last year.
Flipping the last arrow can work too.
True. Probably a better solution, TBH
Holy shit, I always assumed that is what the symbols reflected. Fascism, Monarchy, and Capital. Luckily this post sent me down the rabbit hole and got me educated. I will not be using this symbol.

I think I like the idea of flipping the bottom arrow to be clearer about using it.
Like this for an antifascist flag of New England
Don't forget what happened to Rosa Luxemburg.
what happened?
SPD leaders (the party that would later create the Iron Front) ordered that the left-wing German Revolution in 1919 be crushed, and Rosa Luxemburg was among those killed. She was executed and thrown into a canal.
I saw that on ironfront. Absolutely pathetic.
Most of the accounts I've seen seemed to be less than a year old, too. What normal person gets into the internet and finds their home passionately posting about market solutions?
