    Adopting leftist music by perverting its meaning is pretty much the M.O. of far-right anthems/songs, no matter what the song was about originally. See: Tomorrow Belongs to Me, Fortunate son (to a milder extent), Born in the U.S.A as some of more well-known English examples.

    I wonder if this was an attempt at doing precisely that, or was it just some publicity stunt for the movement.

      they usually misinterpret the meaning especially if it is used in a movie or they assume most agree with them
