"Capitalism, fascism, reaction; beat the three and humanity is free!"

"Of course, the three arrows representing the struggle against capitalism, fascism and reaction have quickly found their way into other social democratic parties."

That election poster that gets thrown around alot is just that. An election poster where the socialdemocrats were trying to position themselves as the preservers of the democratic republic(which should be remembered, had not existed for long). It's not the only way to interpret the symbol.

What do you think? What do you associate the arrows with? I always assumed it was 'down with monarchism, Nazism, and capitalism' before reading that thread. It's amazing how fast the meaning of the symbol was co-opted and altered (although notable that not everyone recognizes it as such).
i remember wolff talking about how all his university work was written using marxist theory, and that he did so well in uni because his economics professors had never read marx. it wasn’t mere avoidance, it was outright ignorance.
Hmm interesting, do you have any idea which of his shows that may have been from? It's hard to locate stuff of his because of the sheer amount of content he produces. I really enjoy hearing about his experiences from his education
i’m almost certain that he talks about his educational background at length in this interview with yer uncle yanis: https://youtu.be/RhFw-s5IUT4
