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.

Everything the far-right uses is stolen. Libertarian used to be synonymous with anarchist till they stole it. Hell they even went after anarchism directly when the invented the walking contraduction "anarcho-capitalism." Every neo-nazi symbol is some cultural symbol they stole. Stealing stuff so others can't use it is the far-right's favorite pass-time.
