I have a few copypasta/effort posts about this but the answer is FUCK NO

As a reaction to the Harzburg Front and the »March of 100,000«, the Reichsbanner, SPD, General German Trade Union Confederation (ADGB), General Employees’ Association (Afa-Bund) and workers’ gymnastics and Sportbund (ATSB) formed the "Iron Front" on December 16, 1931. Her symbol was three from top right to arrows pointing to the lower left, each shattering a crown, a swastika, and a hammer and sickle. The Iron Front therefore also saw itself as an anti-communist organization.

There was no actual membership. Rather, the Iron Front represented an attempt to to initiate a movement of pro-republic forces. Today they would probably be more democratic as a concerted action identify organizations against extremism

During the first months of its existence, the Iron Front was popularized through large-scale events. There were so-called "preparation weeks" in which activists could write their names in "iron books." Trade unionists formed "hammer groups" in order to be able to act militantly in an emergency. In their propaganda appeared the Iron Front as a decisive force to protect the republic. In fact, their activities focused on publicly effective self-portrayals.

Meanwhile, the Nazis were gaining ground. Hitler wanted on April 10, 1932 in the election to the Reich President against Paul von Hindenburg and Ernst Thälmann, but he was still stateless. The German The Braunschweig government procured him citizenship by appointing him to the government council on February 25, 1932 in Berlin - a post that Hitler, incidentally, never took up. However, the election to the Reich President was decided by supported by the SPD, German nationalist Paul von Hindenburg for himself.

The day after Hitler was made chancellor, the standard bearers of this emblem did this

The KPD asked the Iron Front, the SPD, the general trade union association ADGB and their organisations, and the Reichsbanner Schwarz-Rot-Gold to declare a general strike against Hitler. The Iron Front decline, issued a call on February 2 to "all comrades of the Reichsbanner and the Iron Front", warning against participating in "wild actions organised by irresponsible people", and exhorted members to "turn all Iron Front events into powerful rallies for freedom".

The attempt to use the Three Arrows is a restoration of the very liberal chauvinism that led to Hitler winning. It is a symbol of anti-communism and the people who try to restore it have largely been naive or downright dangerous. Oppose the Iron Front then and now.

We've been having this fight with neo-Iron Front/ironfrontusa people for years here https://hexbear.net/post/157623?scrollToComments=false

This is a symbol literally used by the opposition to Antifa. It is not, nor has it ever been anti-fascist. And if we wanted to use it, we should then cease using the two flags Antifascist Action emblem because using both is a denigration of the fallen.

RoteFront and Antifa comrades died fighting this shit.

AWAY WITH THE LIES OF THE IRON FRONT THE DECEIVERS OF THE PROLETARIAT
