Seems its closed again 10 min open , same as the first time , you got the Oh Shit ! We cannot find the page you are looking for Click here to go back message on the register page with the monkey picture . Website is not laggy anymore too . <| sep |> oh yeah duh , that makes so much sense , thanks dude ! <| sep |> you missed the point of the post <| sep |> Yes , but people should also understand the context of European Antifa They are predominantly ancoms and insurrectionary anarchistsautonomists . Formalized MLMLM parties don ' t use antifa that much , usually they organize antifascist actions through their own orgs . European anarchists are not the biggest fan of soviet icons , nor are they big fan of European communist parties for reasons that should be obvious to anyone having done a bit of historical reading . We never really had communist parties in western europe that did not follow the stalinist line post WW 2 , and that did huge damage to the popularity and legitimacy of MLMLM tendencies and the USSR iconography . In France , a common slogan from the ancoms is ni rouges , ni bruns neither red nor brown . A common insult to authoritarian socialists socialists with too much love for the ' national ' is rougebrun . No one sees it as a SFD symbol since world war 2 , it completely changed meaning with the treason of the Spanish revolutionaries both POUM and CNT by Stalinist policies I mean the symbol is everywhere in Catalan squats and anarchist strongholds , and I ' m pretty much certain it does not mean to them a support to the SFD . Its good to dig the historical roots , but one should also spot the development in meaning of symbols from that origin . Since both tendencies are well entrenchedpretty numerous a LOT more than in the US and tend to do different organizing anyways , it ' s not like the three arrow symbols today damages MLMLMs in any way , and its not like reformist and class traitor policies of national communist parties like the PCF does anything to actively damage the organizing efforts of leftcoms and anarchists . The anarchists and the MLMLM collaborating is really a very north american thing , I think mostly due to the relative weakness of both tendencies and a lack of numbers . In an American context , the three arrows make no sense , I agree .
