I fully agree, however I wouldn't have used the soviet union's emblem.
That's the most globally recognised symbol of communism, and communists are the biggest force against fascism. If you can't use that, you definitely can't use the anarchist symbol.
When antifa movement was created in Weimar Republic because of Hitler, it didn't involve communists it was made of liberals.
Also many forget that Nazis and Soviets secretly divided Europe and together attacked Poland from both sides.
Stalin only switched sides after Hitler backstabbed him.

Literally the first sentence in the article. Quit the historical revisionist bullshit.
Excuse me if I believe an actual historian that specializes in history of that region: https://snyder.substack.com/p/when-anti-antifa-means-pro-nazi-video
The Antifaschistische Aktion was created by KPD, but anti fascist movements existed before that and many enemy of KPD were Social Democrats (SPD) aka liberals.
Organizations like Eiserne Front or Reichsbanner Schwarz-Rot-Gold existed way before Antifaschistische Aktion.
Also KPD (under control of Stalin) treated Social Democrats as their main event and even called them fascists.
It's actually all there, if you would not stop after first sentence and continue to read the background section.
They did not exist "way before" AFA. They existed from 1931 and 1924 respectively. Roter Frontkämpferbund which was the precursor to AFA was formed in 1924.
You are just changing historical facts to push the horseshoe theory. If you want to get pedantic about who did what in Weimar Germany, which political party was it that made use of the swastika wearing Freikorps to put down communist uprisings? It was the SPD.
Buuulllshit
Why shouldn't the anarchist symbol be used?
But yeah fair point I can't find any alternatives to the hammer and sickle.
Would you prohibit it by force?
Yeah just like that time you occupied pretty much of all eastern Europe in WWII. And the symbol doesn't even associate to socialism only the Russian oppressors.
