Ok, but it's still the Iron Front logo. Why not just use an antifascist symbol that wasn't the logo of a liberal-social democrat coalition that betrayed communists to fascism?
I don't really see how the "fuck Nazis but also Communists" symbol is a unifier. Does using the imagery of the most historically pro-fascist antifascist organization, the one that led to the foundation of Nazi Germany, not put off any communists or, like, people who are at all familiar with the history of antifascism? Is the "everyone but the communists" symbol really essential to maintaining a united front?
Also, that same group sold Liebknecht out to the fascists...
It became a nationwide symbol used to be antifascist across stadia in MLS and USL, too. United Front became the moniker in supporter circles.
Even the explicitly communist Red Loons got on board and were willing to adopt the three arrows in protest.
While it can be used as anticommunist by some, within the US it seems to most often be used solely as antifascist, in my experience. Though it being used by anarchists didn't necessarily make me think that's true here. IDK.

The Male were right. It's an anticommunist symbol that puts us on the same level as monarchists and fascists
