Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Being openly racist absolutely does mean being right wing. What else would it mean? That's the main platform the right has, they just bury it under euphemisms and pretend it doesn't exist. The ones who are too stupid to obfuscate their racist remarks are the far-right.
We weren't discussing a left wing party here, it's a right wing party that you said wasn't far-right because of their openly stated racism. I could have been clearer in my response, but I'm saying that by being openly racist (and by maintaining relationships with members who are openly racist), this right wing party is far-right.
You are correct though about the actual distinction between leftism and rightism being support for capitalism, thank you for clarifying that.
It's not their racism, that's just the fart on top of the shit cake. It's their right wing populism.
Dude, they are in the right block, they are a far right party, no one in Sweden thinks otherwise. It would be ridiculous. Just read their Wikipedia page or something: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweden_Democrats
