The 3 arrows description is inaccurate. It’s an anti-fascist pro-democracy symbol which (unless I’m mistaken) originated in the Weimar Republic. The arrows originally were against “the 3 enemies of democracy” which at the time were the Nazis, Monarchists, and “Communists” (what we today would call tankies). The current meaning of the targets of the arrows are different, but the arrows themselves don’t usually represent anything other than opposition to the named or implied groups. It was originally used by the Iron Front, which was the militant wing of the SPD, and was comprised of Union Workers, Social Democrats, and all stripes of Democratic Socialists. Today, it is occasionally used by Anarchists, but is also used by individuals as far right as anti-fascist progressive liberals.
