Some Antifa Meme Magic

Three downward arrows facing Left... “Against Papen, Hitler, Thälmann” or in modern Leftist speak, "Against Trump, America, and free speech" (One arrow too many, perhaps?)
The German Communist Party (KPD) flag was so very anti-fascist, wasn't it?
Gotta love the old KPD Communist Party of Germany, even if it did eventually trade in anti-fascism for a hammer and sickle.
...of course, they paid the price for their switch in the great Purge of 1937...A number of senior KPD leaders in exile were caught up in Joseph Stalin's Great Purge of 1937–38 and executed, among them Eberlein, Heinz Neumann, Hermann Remmele, Fritz Schulte and Hermann Schubert, or sent to the gulag, like Margarete Buber-Neumann. Still others, like Gustav von Wangenheim and Erich Mielke, denounced their fellow exiles to the NKVD.[4] Willi Münzenberg, the KPD's propaganda chief, was murdered in mysterious circumstances in France in 1940. The NKVD is believed to have been responsible.

The words on Antifa's predecessor flag, einheitsfront aktion gegen faschistiche reaktion (Google translation: United front action against fascist reaction)

The American United Front Against Fascism was an anti-fascist congress of political organizations in Oakland, California on September 18, 1969.[1] The organizations included the Black Panther Party, the Young Patriots Organization,[2] the Students for a Democratic Society, and others.

 We've all heard of the Panthers and SDS, so who were the Young Patriots Organization? from Wiki: The Young Patriots Organization was an American left-wing organization of the 1960s and 1970s. Growing out of an Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) project called Jobs Or Income Now (JOIN), its first leaders included Doug "Youngblood" Blakey, the son of Peggy Terry; Jack "Junebug" Boykin; Bobby Joe Mcginnis; William "Preacherman" Fesperman; and Hy Thurman. Originating in the Uptown neighborhood of Chicago, the organization was designed to support young, white migrants from the Appalachia region. However membership was open to all races. [1] With Fred Hampton of the Black Panther Party, José "Cha-Cha" Jiménez of the Young Lords Organization, and Katiri LaRouge of the Native American Housing Committee, the Young Patriots Organization helped to form the Rainbow Coalition (unrelated to Jesse Jackson's later Rainbow/PUSH Coalition). The group's early interactions with the Black Panthers are shown in the 1969 documentary American Revolution 2.

 The Young Patriots wore a rebel Confederate flag on their blue jean jackets and berets, and fought against racism. They participated in demonstrations against police brutality and housing discrimination. In 1971, a portion of the Young Patriots attempted to build a national organization, renamed the Patriot Party, which had no relation to the right-wing group of the same name.

Funny how Democrats no longer embrace that Confederate Flag... it used to go so well with those white hoods.

What does the number 161 mean?
161 the order of the letters of the Latin alphabet:. 1 is A, 6 is F, 1 is A again.  The result is the abbreviation AFA (Antifa Action)

How did the number 161 make sense? As far as we know the idea of ​​the project 161crew appeared in the Czech Republic. They have been doing concerts for a long time, are engaged in actions, draw graffiti and so on. Under the symbol. They were also one of the organizers of the May Day festival in 2009.

161 > 88 (The eigth letter of the alphabet is H, so 88 = Heil Hitler, the number for their nemesis)
