that kind of implies MLs, "tankies," etc aren't Western leftists as well. separating material analysis from one's own societal conditions is more complex than just blanket-denouncing swathes of other ideological positions. I think if you live in the West and you're a leftist, that definitionally makes you a "Western leftist."
What do you consider "western leftism?" I was under the impression the term "tankie" refers to a subset of western leftists as well.
corporations having "meme departments" for their ads has to be the bourgiest shit ever
look at that Zoomer haircut
true, but from what I've seen, since leftists are the ones actually fighting against fascism these days and it's an antifascist symbol, it's been reinterpreted with leftist meanings rather than succdem ones. (also it's not mine)
Why tho

u/mourning_starre on their flag:
This flag incorporates the Three Arrows, a common antifascist symbol originally used by the Iron Front, an anti-Nazi paramilitary organisation in interwar Germany.
The specific colour choice was taken from this poster of the Social Democratic Party of Austria ahead of the 1945 election.
The three arrows have been variously interpreted, including as the"political, economic, and physical strength of the working class". Among antifascist symbols, this is my favourite because it turns the same logic of simple and effective symbolism used by the Nazis in the form of their swastika and turns it back on them. Why the arrows point left and down isn't clear but is the most common form.
I would propose this flag to be used instead of or alongside the common Antifaschistische Aktion flag, which is a little ugly.
