The Three Arrows were a symbol originally used by the German Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands (SDP) during the interwar period, but they are now recognized as a general anti-authoritarian symbol.
The arrows stand for the different types of authoritarianism that should be opposed. Their commonly accepted meanings go as follows (from top left to bottom right):
1. Reactionaries/Royalists
2. Nazis/Fascists
3. Marxist-Leninists/Authoritarian Socialists
In the 21st century groups ranging widely from Social Democrats to Anarchists have been known to use the symbol, sometimes unified under the banner of the Iron Front or Anti-fascism/Antifa.

Get the Three fingers up mug.The difficult period of the first three days of substaining from an addictive substance or habit. It is often the case that when you're trying to avoid doing something that you are addicted to, the earliest parts of it (often three days) are the hardest. The something addictive can smoking, drugs, alcohol, fast food or even a close and intense relationship.
