"Fight on" is typically a fist pump, not a raised fist held aloft.

Black power salute.

Spanish civil war communist salute.

The Russians in the Donbas fighting the Ukrainian "fascists" and targeting Jews, non-Orthodox Xians, and ethnic minorities used it.

It's also the white power salute.

I've seen it on posters that my high school kids make for history class. It's typically working-class solidarity. Between Holocaust slogans and International Worker symbolism, they're hitting all their marks. (They make missteps, but those aren't even noticed.)
