Made a jab online about an artist posting it, and getting pushback saying that since it's creation, it has been adopted by some communist orgs.

From what I can find, it seems to have been used by a French socialist party for a few decades, but nothing beyond that that isn't socdem parties.

So i guess yeah, anyone know of any full on commie groups that have ever adopted it?

Definitely socdem trash, but I know a lot of well meaning early commies who have stuff with it on it because they only know it as antifascism. Hell when I was younger I got it tattooed on myself for that reason (still debating covering it with something else, ideas welcome).

It's one of those things where the meaning has shifted somewhat over time I think, but I still think it should be moved away from.
