…but loads of other places use two crossed arrows. the place i live has had it on their coat of arms since the 1400’s, and many central european locations have had it even longer. the us marines use it. it’s a native american symbol of peace. the list goes on.
why would it be “three arrows but they removed one”?
It was a supposition I could be wrong, however the 3 arrows symbol as been present in US anarchist art since at least the 80s,
recent developments in irl anarchist circles that more are realising that communism is not inherently opposed to anarchism in the way Fascism and Monarchism are and a growing awareness that the Capitalist state pushes leftist infighting to their benefit
are leading some anarchist groups and individuals to drop the Drei Pfeile 3 arrows symbol entirely or use a modified 2 arrow symbol instead, so imo it could be what the artist indented it to be
To me that is far more likely than an anarchist using the militaristic/heraldic versions of a two arrows symbol you mention
it’s a native american symbol of peace
You’re mistaken here, its a broken arrow that is a symbol of peace, crossed arrows is a symbol of friendship, but that could also be what the artist intended
Again that it is a modified drei pfeile is just an educated guess on my part, I could well be wrong and the artist included it just because they thought it looked cool, asking them would be the only way to really know, but OP hasn’t credited a source, that’s not an indictment of them anarchist art is meant to freely shared and distributed, and I can see an artist’s signature to the right on the triangle surrounding the Ⓐ but not clearly enough to make out unfortunately, hopefully someone else can or knows the source and we can ask them their intention behind it and clear up the matter
because this is leftist iconography, is the assumption, but it could definitely be using the native american symbol you mentioned instead, but its not a ridiculous assumption I don’t think
