Throughout history I have seen raised fists and I believe it was revolutionary communists who used it. Anybody know the origins?

Cool thanks. I saw an article about the woke Brit government shooting fist fireworks off and wondered where it originated. Looks like it’s been appropriated throughout history. I know the black panthers used it as well as a black power symbol. I tend to think the latest use aligns more with black power and the Panthers’ intent on overthrow and thuggery.

I think the Nazis used it though that’s where I remember seeing it in the war propaganda
