The Iron Front (German: Eiserne Front) was a German paramilitary organization in the Weimar Republic which consisted of social democrats, trade unionists, and democratic socialists. Its main goal was to defend social democracy against what was seen as anti-democratic, totalitarian ideologies on the far-right and far-left. The Iron Front chiefly opposed the Sturmabteilung (SA) wing of the Nazi Party and the Antifaschistische Aktion wing of the Communist Party of Germany. Formally independent, it was intimately associated with the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD). The Three Arrows, originally designed for the Iron Front, became a well-known social democratic symbol representing resistance against monarchism, Nazism, and communism during the parliamentary elections in November 1932. The Three Arrows were later adopted by the SPD itself.

    The primary objective of the Democratic Party as a whole is to run damage control against progressive movements and interests on behalf of the Owner Class. They are faithless mercenaries, not revolutionaries or even principled statesmen.

    They will be relegated to the dustbin of history in the coming months and years, they have nothing to offer MAGA nor the American people. A few salvageable people maybe, but not many.
