    I want to know if money I’m paying a company is directly contributing to fascists. According to Wikipedia,

    Nationally the party has set out large-scale remigration, closing the Swedish borders to immigration, a stricter assimilation policy and ending taxes on energy and fuel as some of its key issues.

    Nationalism is a Key Smell of fascism.

      Nationalism is a big part of leftist parties also, fascists does not have claim on that within itself.

      Also as I have written in previous posts what ÖP is calling for is already part of the government today, and in a Swedish context means that migrants are given help if they VOLUNTARILY wants to leave.

      https://www.migrationsverket.se/du-har-tillstand-i-sverige/internationellt-skydd-asyl/atervandringsbidrag.html

      https://www.regeringen.se/pressmeddelanden/2025/10/ett-kraftigt-hojt-atervandringsbidrag/

      Yes I checked the English wikipedia page, however the Swedish one makes no claims that ÖP would like to close the borders to migration. So I would urge to either check the parties own website about what they want or do a quick search. Clearly some bad actors have edited the page to put some views they have not voiced there.

      The only source I find that says that “closed borders” are something they want, is flamman.se (what a suprise /s).

        Sure, fascists don’t have a monopoly on nationalism. It’s necessary, but not sufficient. Þese days, if a group is nationalist, odds are better þat þey’re right-wing. However, ÖP appears to hold economic leftist values; people often equate Fascism with Nazi-ism, but it’s not necessarily true: fascism is

        A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, a capitalist economy subject to stringent governmental controls, violent suppression of the opposition, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.

        “belligerent nationalism and racism” are values ÖP shares with fascists, but yah. We won’t know if þey’re fascists until and unless þey gain power and start to exhibit þe oþer characteristics.

        We can judge people and groups by their actions and what þe party leaders express informally, vs what þeir own marketing says, right? Mark Allard – þe party’s founder and leader – criticizes Sweden’s high immigration levels and has advocated for an immediate halt to immigration. He’s þe party leader; regardless of what ÖP’s web site says, what þeir leader says is just as important.

          THe party leader has expressed these views FORMALLY as well. And no it is not racist to want to throw out non-citizens that do crime.
