"Long after it shed its far-right origins"?

This group wasnt even formed until 2014 according to this, lmao. I think this should have been posted in s/propaganda

The really funny part is that they are claiming Nazis were far right when they were very explicitly socialists.

True, but neo-nazi's are a different matter, and tend to identify as right-wing
