    I don’t want to change my VPN based on one article, so I’m getting mentally ready for resrarching, but I’ll ask you first: how very bad is the Örebro Party?

        Thank you. To be honest, I’m still not sure what to think. Here in Czechia, this kind of mixture of nice/good system critique and racist usually means the party is populist and won’t be doing the nice stuff once in power. They’ll be doing whatever is good for anyone, who investes in them + the racist stuff, which is also populist and kind of easier then doing good. Is that the case in Sweden too?

        Okay, I suppose nuance is in order here so let’s add some. Örebro partiet used to be hardline leftwing extremist and antifascist, but they explicitly moved away from their political roots distancing themselves from their old ideological convictions under the new party leader.

        They have since started explicitly supporting populist and nationalist positions on migration and integration that attract the same kind of latent racist voter base that SD (the much more directly neo Nazi party) rode to fame and election victory.

        If I had to classify their overall political identity they’re reminiscent of the NSDAP leading up to their first election victory. They’re in favour of authoritarian rule with both right- and left-wing populist goals such as improved public healthcare and forced remigration or forced assimilation of Muslim immigrants.

        Overall your personal mileage may vary, but I’m not okay with my money indirectly supporting a political party that’s contributing to the overall decline of civil discourse and feeding into the hated of migrants and the “us vs them” mindset that’s poisoning society.

        [Edit] @[email protected] gave a great breakdown of their migration stance earlier in the thread. I’m just going to say that I’m not okay with ethnic cleansing and leave it at that.
