The Rage Against the War Machine Rally was a so-called "anti-war rally" which took place on February 19th, 2023 in Washington DC.[1] Despite it being promoted as a protest movement which would "unite the left and right" against American involvement in the Russo-Ukrainian War, its attendees largely included politically syncretic to far-right elements, and its message largely entailed a support for the Russian invasion of Ukraine, rather than an end to such a war.

Participants

Members of the rally predominantly included right-wing libertarians, but was also significantly attended by Neonazi and alt-right organizations (including the Khu Klux Klan and National Vanguard) along with Patriotic socialists, largely those who were organized in Caleb Maupin's Center for Political Innovation. Neonazi figures Matthew Heimbach (founder of a hate group known as the Traditionalist Workers' Party) and Shandon Simpson (who is linked with the terrorist organization Atomwaffen) were present at the rally and actively propagated antisemitic and other racist canards. Strasserists and National Bolsheviks were also present.[2][3]
