Uh, it's a pretty general public, buddy. Again, you do not in any way understand the people you are talking about.
Define what you are even arguing about because we are going around in circles.
To the general public who watch soccer: either they won’t notice it or they will look it up and see it’s anti-communist and anti-monarchist and be like “weird”.
To the leftists who recognize the symbol it has a specific meaning of leftpunching and succerry. The people who know this and keep using the symbol are sus as hell, don’t tell them your contact info.
I'm telling you that the people who are putting up that symbol at MLS games would go full :jesse-wtf: if you started ranting at them about this subject. Then they'd ignore you, because it's just the most common symbol that antifascists organize around in the region. The supporters' groups are 100% full of radlibs, and I don't pick fights with people who are willing to punch Nazis with me, let alone over things that happened a century ago and reference a context that no longer matters.
And I’m telling you those people flying that flag will cheer when the Chuds dumps your body off a bridge and call it a step forward for socialism unless they are educated
Yeah, again, you know nothing. The people we are discussing will follow whoever is put in front of them. They are not deeply political, they're just willing to beat the crap out of Nazis.
Maybe you should stick to harassing me in private messages to avoid undermining your point by demonstrating that you are not listening at all.
Yes and what is currently in front of them is a bunch of feds and social democrats wearing anti-communist symbol. No, I think everyone should be able to openly see you apologia for reaction and people sheepdogging budding radlibs deeper into reaction
There’s no reason they can’t beat up Nazis under the red and black flag, or under a red flag, or a black flag. There is no need for anti-communist social democrat flags
I just have priorities for organizing with and educating radlibs that are more important than a flag in a soccer-stadium. Trust me when I say that the history of the Iron Front is well beyond the level of political education these people need. A lot of them still need to be taught that profit is theft from the product of labor.
To be clear, if you're trying to make me feel ashamed, you're barking up the wrong tree. I'm far more likely to wind you up more if you keep making an ass of yourself over something this irrelevant than back down.

I mean, again, you're just not reading anything I wrote, presumably because you think winning an online debate over absolutely nothing of importance is more important than any kind of actual engagement.
You're adorable. Wasting your time. But adorable nonetheless.

You realize that your (frankly, underwhelming) attempt at bullying makes me far more likely to just leave my posts up out of spite, yes? Maybe you could try talking to my manager?

Sure thing, cutie. That's definitely a thing that's gonna happen and matter.

You overestimate the organization of American social democrats pretty intensely.

Anticommunism is bad. It's also part of the milieu we currently operate in, and we need to prioritize fights that matter over trying to convince a bunch of soccer fans to use a different antifascist symbol.
