Rammstein.
The racist United Patriot Front (UPF) have used German industrial metal band Rammstein in a new video to promote a racist march on July 17.
The UPF are a splinter group from a Reclaim Australia that seek to harass Muslims and promote Islamophobia and violence.
The video opens with the UPF member declaring 鈥淚 am not a Nazi鈥. The UPF video has excluded images from Reclaim Australia rally in April of participants with swastikas.
The video includes a clip of a man at the rally with a swastika tattoo on his head, as was featured in photos by several media outlets, but filmed from an angle that hides the swastika.
The video also shows the participants punching anti-racist protesters.
Rammstein are on record as saying they used to fight neo-Nazis when they were younger.
Their song 鈥淟inks 2-3-4鈥 (Links being German for 鈥渓eft鈥) was written in response to accusations of right-wing sympathies. The song features the line: 鈥淢y heart beats on the left鈥.
Band member Richard Kruspe said: 鈥淚f you want to put us in a political category, we're on the left side, and that's the reason we made the song.鈥
German online music magazine laut.de pointed out that Rammstein had borrowed the line 鈥渕y heart beats to the left鈥 from a founder of Die Linke (the Left) Oskar Lafontaine. The song also features a line from a workers' song by communist writer Berthold Brecht.
Perhaps next the UPF will use left-wing revolutionaries Rage Against the Machine as background music?
[There will be a Melbourne anti-racism rally on July 18 at Victorian Parliament House at 10am.]
