I have noticed with this antifa movement that they use two different flags; does that mean there are two different rival antifa movements?

I am guessing the one with the black front is an anarchist group and the one with the red is a communist group, no?

No, the original had 2 red flags. But then the anarchists complained so they added the black one in the back. But in some countries where the anarchists are predominantinant in the antifascist movement the black one is up front. But i guess in your country they use both, so i presume Commies use the red front anarchists use the black front.

Yeah, it's German and double red (the original).
It's from the original anti-fascist action of 1923.

edit: i think this was the original.

I always thought that the placing of the flags was arbitrary.

I never realised it was originally red and red, I totally thought the black'n'red was the original design. Does anyone have any good sources about the original Antifaschischte Aktion?

Thats no source, lol.
Uhm, lets see i cant say there's a lot about them doing a quick google-search (at least in English). But they we're a part of the Rotfrontkampferbund if that helps in any way.
