"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).
Maybe I'm also too old to be down with the youth, but for my fellow mid-20s, idk if green means anti-capitalism. Everybody's green, but in more of a personal-consumer way (thrifting, using less plastic, taking the train more). That's not bad obviously, but I don't feel like it relates to leftist thought or action in more than a very vague "corporations bad" way. Maybe it's different for the actual teens!
