so there, tankie

Working Class History while good on a lot of things, are absolute dog shit on anything related to the USSR. I forget if they're Trots or what.

Forgive them Father for they are suckdems

when nazis come for communists Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!!

when nazis come for me Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

DOWN WITH MONARCHY!

DOWN WITH NAZIS!!

DOWN WITH COMMUNISTS!!!!

capitalism is ok. we're socialists btw

Every twentieth post of Working Class History is just anti communism. I wouldn't be surprised if they were Trots.

Alternative to Roterfront, but yes.

As a reaction to the Harzburg Front and the »March of 100,000«, the Reichsbanner, SPD, General German Trade Union Confederation (ADGB), General Employees’ Association (Afa-Bund) and workers’ gymnastics and Sportbund (ATSB) formed the "Iron Front" on December 16, 1931. Her symbol was three from top right to arrows pointing to the lower left, each shattering a crown, a swastika, and a hammer and sickle. The Iron Front therefore also saw itself as an anti-communist organization.

There was no actual membership. Rather, the Iron Front represented an attempt to to initiate a movement of pro-republic forces. Today they would probably be more democratic as a concerted action identify organizations against extremism

During the first months of its existence, the Iron Front was popularized through large-scale events. There were so-called "preparation weeks" in which activists could write their names in "iron books." Trade unionists formed "hammer groups" in order to be able to act militantly in an emergency. In their propaganda appeared the Iron Front as a decisive force to protect the republic. In fact, their activities focused on publicly effective self-portrayals.

Meanwhile, the Nazis were gaining ground. Hitler wanted on April 10, 1932 in the election to the Reich President against Paul von Hindenburg and Ernst Thälmann, but he was still stateless. The German The Braunschweig government procured him citizenship by appointing him to the government council on February 25, 1932 in Berlin - a post that Hitler, incidentally, never took up. However, the election to the Reich President was decided by supported by the SPD, German nationalist Paul von Hindenburg for himself.

The Iron Front predates Antifa, and Antifa was very much Communist led, it was an attempt at a united front. The SPD leadership and union leadership REFUSED to join. We cannot know for sure the membership makeup because Antifa insisted upon no membership cards, as this was practical self-defense, NOT a political militia or armed wing. Which probably saved a lot of lives in the short term.

As an example, Thälmann’s reply to whether the anti-fascist Action about a “communist party shop” is reproduced: “It is a non-partisan collecting tank for all workers who are willing to fight ruthlessly against fascism. It is not an organization, but a mass movement. She is the stream into which all the fighting forces flow which is really the struggle, the mass attack against the current government, which is the immediate erection of the fascist To operate a dictatorship, to want to implement it. The leadership of the special unity committees in the factories, in the streets the stamp points etc., must of course be in the hands of the workers themselves willing to fight. ”

Iron Front was utterly useless

During the first months of its existence, the Iron Front was popularized through large-scale events. There were so-called “preparation weeks” in which activists could write their names in “iron books.” Trade unionists formed “hammer groups” in order to be able to act militantly in an emergency. In their propaganda appeared the Iron Front as a decisive force to protect the republic. In fact, their activities focused on publicly effective self-portrayals.

Remind me, what are the three arrows again? 🤔

Buy our anti-fascist pins to fight fascism

Idk I've been reliably informed by a fairly inteligent anarchist I know that the Three Arrows was used before the SocDems got ahold of it, and that the third arrow originally meant capitalism not communism. He had like, evidence but I didnt save it. So personally I dont have the problem with the three arrows most people have. Its not like most people that use it are using it with that intention anyway.

Hate to say it but the succdems kind of cooked with the three arrows logo. It looks cool.

There's a portuguese language version of this twitter account that's also very anarchisty

which is the arrow one that some anarchistics use? i think it has three arrows as well but it's black and white
