The march itself attracted a mix of radical right-wing politicians from Europe as well as Polish far-right activists. Fliers distributed promoting the march read in Polish, “Black Column on the Independence March for blood and nation, against Marxism and liberalism.” One of the first speakers was Roberto Fiore, leader of the openly fascist Italian political party Forza Nuova.

Anti-Muslim sentiment was prevalent throughout the event, with many banners depicting the star and crescent symbol with a red line through it. Other anti-Muslim banners read, “Islam = terror,” and another large banner depicted Islam and a refugee who had a bomb strapped to his stomach as Trojan horses.

I'll step out on a limb and suggest the anti-communist fliers and banners suggest it isn't capitalism they're upset with. Looks like a combination of Muslim immigration and anti-communism.

But hey, if you have evidence of your own, let's see it.
