AntiFascistAction appears to have been created specifically to restore lyrics to Maréchal, nous voilà !. This was all done only a couple of hours after Cluebot reverted FarryZly100's addition.

FarryZly100's userpage is overtly pro-fascist:
 * "This user dislikes communists. This user dislikes leftists. This user is a clerical fascist. This user dislikes homosexuals and transexuals. This user likes the third position."

AntiFascistAction's userpage says conspicuously the opposite, which seems unlikely to be a coincidence: "I'm a leftist progressive. I identify as a right communist and I am open to all political outlooks that agree with strong government regulation of the economy, multiculturalism, secularism, nonviolence and democracy and human rights for all. I am opposed to free market capitalism, reactionary conservatism and fascism."

It is unlikely that both accounts would show the same passion for including the lyrics to an article on a Vichy France anthem which is otherwise barely active. The on-the-nose political comments on the user pages suggest obfuscation or some sort of WP:POINT.

I have raised related issues at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. Specifically behavior and WP:COPYVIO issues. Additionally, AntiFascistAction is a reference to Anti-Fascist Action. Usernames which match organizations are potential WP:UI. Grayfell (talk) 21:56, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * , I don't think you meant Untagged images. Could you clarify? -- RoySmith (talk) 14:20, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I meant WP:IU: Inappropriate usernames. Antifascist Action (from Antifaschistische Aktion) is a name used by several antifascist activist groups. While mostly historical, it appears some of these groups are still active. Accounts named after groups are implied to be WP:ROLL, which is a sock puppetry issue.

 * - Virtually certain to be a sock, but let's confirm to make sure. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:43, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Hmm, surprisingly the accounts are ❌ from a technical standpoint (different continents, different devices). I have blocked FarryZly100 indefinitely due to the clearly WP:NOTHERE behavior explained by Grayfell at Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive1045. Will defer AntiFascistAction to another clerk or admin's discretion. Mz7 (talk) 04:49, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
 * The timing is just too coincidental. CU be darned, they're connected somehow. Blocked as suspected sock. GeneralNotability (talk) 15:47, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
