MODERATORS
It amazes me how many people know nothing about the situation in Sweden, but automatically side against a party because it is labelled right wing. And worse, now compared to Drumpf.
Good. Fascists and fascist supporters should be universally opposed.
The issue is the criteria that is used to label someone a fascist. In the last decade, the use of this term has become a trend to fit with your social circle, gain some virtues and feel good about yourself (ie I'm on the right side of history kimda of things). It's just too loose as a term to make an impact. Like the venzueallan currency.
There's another issue and that is far-right parties trying to obfuscate their far-rightedness until they have enough devoted followers to let the obfuscation die.
Death of a euphemism

If this post is even 50% correct then Sweden's right wing party is on the same trajectory as americas republican party. You don't want that, do you? Aligning yourself with the interests of white supremecists is always a bad idea
The swedish culture is radically different than the US.
Fascism isn't though. It presents very similarly across cultures
