Fróði Midjord introduces National Populism — its history and the forces which drive it — in his introductory talk for the recent Scandza Forum conference in Copenhagen.
As Fróði mentioned all the established parties in Sweden, from the left to the right, formed a cartel to keep the national populist the Sweden Democrats out of power. But the result is that they have helped this party to grow even stronger since many people regard it as the only opposition to the establishment.
The most drastic change can be seen among the blue-collar workers who leave the Social Democrats (the former workers’ party) for the Sweden Democrats in large numbers. This week a survey was published that shows that the Social Democrats now have lost their position as the largest party among the members of the main trade union organization, who have been their core voters for more than a century:
The Sweden Democrats are in many ways similar to how the Social Democrats were before they embraced mass immigration, multiculturalism and cultural Marxism in the 1970s. And that is at least a step in the right direction.
