Sweden goes to polls in a week, and the Sweden Democrats — opponents of mass immigration who publicly decry the Islamization of Sweden — are expected to enter parliament for the first time. The Swedish political elites are obviously terrified by the prospect of SD, and have ramped up the demonization and repression as the election approaches.
Needless to say, the official organs of the state are never involved in any of the suppression, intimidation, and violence. The establishment keeps its hands fastidiously clean, and sub-contracts the thuggery to non-state actors such as Anti-Fascist Action.
Reinhard of ICLA has a report about the sickening extremity of pre-election oppression in Sweden, and most egregiously what occurred late yesterday in Malmö.
Welcome to Sweden
by Reinhard
It is hardly an exaggeration to say that Sweden, while promoting its self-image of being the most tolerant and liberal country in the world, at the same time ruthlessly suppresses dissent, either by loud and persistent condemnations of everything that is considered to be even remotely racist, or by ignoring or downplaying physical attacks on people who are accused of being racists.
These condemnations and attacks are never more apparent than during election year, and never more so than this year, when Sverigedemokraterna (the Sweden Democrats) are poised to enter Swedish parliament for the first time. The Sweden Democrats are unique in that they are openly critical of immigration, multiculturalism and Islam, and have consistently garnered enough support in recent polls to indicate that they will indeed enter parliament in the elections next Sunday.
Their opponents are therefore out in force, and doing what they can do sabotage the Sweden Democrats’ chances of entering parliament — by any means possible.
These attacks can be divided into five different categories: attempts at election sabotage by tampering with their ballots; disruptions of meetings (which coincidentally is a crime against the principle of freedom of assembly, which is guaranteed by the Swedish constitution); threats directed at party officials; attacks on houses and property; and even attempted murder.
