The Three Arrows were a symbol originally used by the German Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands (SDP) during the interwar period, but they are now recognized as a general anti-authoritarian symbol. The arrows stand for the different types of authoritarianism that should be opposed. Their commonly accepted meanings go as follows (from top left to bottom right): 1. Reactionaries/Royalists 2. Nazis/Fascists 3. Marxist-Leninists/Authoritarian Socialists In the 21st century groups ranging widely from Social Democrats to Anarchists have been known to use the symbol, sometimes unified under the banner of the Iron Front or Anti-fascism/Antifa.
