Not just donated, is the biggest funder apparently.
72% of the party’s funding Also more than 27x their entire previous year’s funding
It’s the founder who owns 50% of the company. He holds majority sway. He directs the company. Elon only owns 15% of Tesla for reference.
According to data collected by DonationWatch, 2025 was the most lucrative year in the party’s history, netting a total of 5.58 million SEK. For comparison, the party received just 202,000 SEK in total donations throughout 2024.
Well, TBF, his business model is reliant on fascists trying to spy on your private life.
Sounds like he’s just trying to preserve his livelyhood.
There is a certain amount of sarcasm here.
Contains traces of sarcasm.
Can someone clarify how the party that the Mullvad founder donated to is fascist?
I looked into it the other day (can’t remember the name of the party now) and immigration seemed to be the only controversial aspect. Everything else seemed okay to me and even fairly progressive.
Plenty of shit nowadays is actually fascist and I’m not confident that applies here.
They are nationalist racists trying to cloak themselves with populist leftist ideas. This is the leader of that party:
https://www.friatider.se/markus-allard-om-andra-generationens-invandrare-de-ska-ocksa-ut
Örebro Party leader Markus Allard goes to the election on expulsions. He opens to withdraw citizenship and also expel second generation of immigrants – even if they were born in Sweden.
“I’m prepared to cross corpses,” he said.One suggestion that he has is that citizenship and permanent residence permits can be torn up – with reference to “Sweden is the country of Swedes”.
In a section of Yoshi’s Podcast, Allard develops his view on expulsions and explains that he prepared to “go over corpses” to bring home unwanted immigrants. The host notes that there will be no beautiful sight when, for example, immigrant mothers who have been on maternity leave for 15 years are to be deported together with their children. “It’s not going to be pretty to send these people home,” he said. Markus Allard agrees, but says: I think you can handle that optics. Even the children will need to be deported, he explains.
He further explains that many of the problems relate to second-generation immigrants. They are going out too. Even if they were born in Sweden, because they have no natural connection to Sweden. They are not Swedes. They have not become Swedes. It says Sweden in the passport, but they have not been interested in becoming part of Sweden. There’s a difference. It’s a qualitative difference," Allard said
Remember; the Nazi’s did the same thing by strategically calling their party the National Socialist German Workers’ Party, despite them not being socialist nor a working class party. This was chosen because Socialism was gaining popularity, and thus the Nazi’s thought it would help their chances of getting votes and public support.
Örebro politician Markus Allard said in a debate that “we have to send out these fucking parasites”.
Note also discussing immigration is very different from discussing re-emigration. Most clearly defining political ideology for this party seems to be populist national conservative. Such an ideology can easily pivot to Nazi like far-right fascism once there is enough support. It is a much easier route to take than going far right from the start.
Generally, “othering” another group and blaming issues on that group while calling for that group to be expelled from a region seems to be how a lot of that sort of thing gets going. Fascism looks at people and sees some of them as people and the rest of them as not people. It gets worse from there.
Sorry for the wall of text, copying and pasting from some of my other comments, I’ll bold the main points to create the throughline:
What, by definition, constitutes fascism?
often Fascism : a populist political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual, that is associated with a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, and that is characterized by severe economic and social regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition
At the core of fascism is loyalty to tribe, ethnic identity, religion, tradition, or, in a word, nation. —Jason Stanley
Just to make sure we’re not looking at a singular definition, let’s look at Wikipedia too
Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/ FASH-iz-əm) is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement that rose to prominence in early-20th-century Europe.[1][2][3] Fascism is characterized by support for a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived interest of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.[3][4] Opposed to communism, democracy, liberalism, pluralism, and socialism,[5][6] fascism is at the far-right of the traditional left–right spectrum.[1][6][7]
And now, let’s look at what the Örebro party’s own stated platform, which received 72% of its funding from the Mullvad founder, which also amounted to 27 times their total funding in 2024:
Some of its key issues include strong secularism, a 30-hour workweek with retained pay, lowered wages for politicians, ending taxes on energy and fuel, ending taxpayer funding of what it sees as wasteful sculptures, monuments and art, large-scale remigration, expanded social housing, a stricter assimilation policy, and free dental care.[3][4]

It’s a qualitative difference," Allard said
And what’s remigration?
Remigration is a far-right concept referring to the ethnic cleansing[1] via mass deportation of non-white minority populations, especially immigrants and sometimes including native-born citizens, to their place of racial ancestry.[2][3]
So fascism is about racial and national purity and hierarchy, as we defined, and the Orebro party supports remigration, which is a concept of forcing immigrants out of countries to preserve the purity of “culture” and the race of the nation.
“Sweden is for the Swedes”
“Israel is for Israelis”

This is what I have switched to, at least.
Markus Allards is a rather outspoken man who seems to have a problem with fitting the A4 format of sweden’s politicians. We have to accept this; THIS IS DEMOCRACY! We have to accept that others have different opinions, even opinions we don’t like. BUT if that person starts to remove/obstructing voting and elections, THEN we need to act!
Human rights aren’t opinions.
Where are you finding your information that he is an opponent to human rights?
He’s a nationalist that wants massive deportation and doesn’t support social programs?
Where did you read they dont support social programs? They want to lower the salaries of politicians, write into law that civil servants can be held accountable, increase taxes for the rich, and increase spending in school and elderly-care, and give free dental to everyone.
Yeah racist genocidal acts don’t fly with me, have you heard of the “human rights”?
I mean you’re almost there, but this party is way over the line, you just don’t see it. What’s next, sending “away” people too much to the left?
No. The only thing fascists deserve is to be beaten to death. Their delusions don’t even deserve the honour of being called “opinions”.
Among the party’s main issues are lowered political salaries, reduced bureaucracy, civil servant responsibility and assimilation. The party also wants to introduce free dental care in Örebro County and open to more direct democracy. The party has been described as both right- and left-wing populist with nationalist and Marxist elements.
The party in question. Straight out of wikipedia. Bug hey, fascist sounds better, so why check?
It doesn’t say anything good about you that you can’t smell fascists.
Sorry but, if you can be described as both far right and far left simultaneously, I don’t have any trust in you, you are more than likely a fascist. I don’t know how you can cope with this additional descriptions:
they are “racists, fascists and nazis”.[41] The party has also been described as far-right.[42]
the ideology differed from classical Marxism as the line of conflict for the Örebro Party doesn’t go between workers and capitalists but rather between those who are productive and those who “undeservedly” lives off of taxpayer-financed transfers.
The left-wing newspaper Flamman has described the Örebro Party as ethnic nationalist.
and lastly, and this is coming from their leader:
we must deport these damn parasites who sit and live at our expense.
I checked your source, it sounds pretty fascist to me.
you are more than likely a fascist
Oh no. Like this word means anything anymore lol.
You can do all this and also call minorities parasites at the same time. That is the Nazi regime for you in a nutshell, great if you are a member of the group horrible if not. Not every fascism is like the US where the government is horrible against both the immigrants and its own citizens.
It’s actually a lose-lose situation, because even if you are in the “chosen group” it always ends badly (send “away” random people from society, WCGW), if it isn’t some pointless war it’s isolationism and shit.
Migrants from the middle east or north africa have a negative fiscal contribution over their lifetime in the EU (at least countries that allow ethnic data collection like Denmark, it’s probably worst in other countries). So yes, they are fiscal leeches/parasites. I don’t see why this is controversial or even something bad to say. We didn’t even bring up the negative social contribution to society, like spreading hateful religions and ideologies like islam and all the negative baggage and social regressions that come with it.
Your claim of spreading hateful religion is based on prior prejudices and ignorance where as this guy here directly calls them parasites and you are trying to soften it into something like a play on words lol. I haven’t seen something this delusional in quite a while. It is on par with people trying to say that Elon was not giving a Nazi salute he was just reaching out with his heart. Were you by any chance one of those people? This comment of yours alone spreads more hate than most immigrants I have seen.
This is based on different scientific studies actually, but why google something that contradicts your belief system. Here is one, for whoever is interested. And this is only for economic contribution. I won’t even touch crime, which has even worse numbers for non-westerners. More than happy to provide scientific sources, but also google exists.
“Science is only good when it agrees with me” - A typical, high on confirmation bias, echo chamber dweller, lemmy fella.
This is based on different scientific studies actually,
Have you read what I have written? Can you parse sentences like “Your claim of spreading hateful religion is based on prior prejudices and ignorance”. If the answer is yes, have you actually read all of the report you linked? Or did you just find a three hundred page pdf and decided to throw that in the discussion in the hopes that I will look at it and give up? Show exactly where in this document does it say anything about “We didn’t even bring up the negative social contribution to society, like spreading hateful religions and ideologies like Islam and all the negative baggage and social regressions that come with it.” Yeah that is right, you can not. You probably even haven’t read beyond the first page. You are just run of the mill right wing racist trying to support your hateful ideologies by a fiscal analysis report (which is a dubious one at best), it is so pathetic. Even Grok is probably more convincing than you and Elon is more sincere.
I would try to humor your comments on financial aspects but even then, it is not certain that the analysis in this report holds up. I know you are not interested in science but I will put these here for anyone who sees this report, see below (This is translated from nl.wikipedia) :
According to NRC, Van de Beek is on the periphery of science, his ideas differ greatly from most established migration experts and he makes calculations on his own that are not subject to scientific peer review. Because his report ‘Boundless Care State’ and his report for the Vlaams Belang have never undergone a peer review by independent scientists, according to NRC, the scientific content of these reports is controversial.[ 1]
Professor of migration history Leo Lucassen stated that the pessimistic conclusions in Van de Beek’s report ‘Boundless Care State’ “seem to be primarily intended to legitimize the xenophobic views of Thierry Baudet and his own”.[ 5] De Beek and his fellow researchers received the support of emeritus professor Jaap van Duijn, who wrote in a column: “The scientists also deal with the still heard view that immigration is necessary to prevent the ageing population.”[ 9] After a fact check, Pointer indicates that a number of claims by Van de Beek in ‘Boundless Care State’ are unfibilable, because one lacks access to the correct CBS figures.[ 10] Emeritus professor of public finance Harrie Verbon criticizes the report ‘Boundless Care State’ in the scientific journal ‘TPEDigitaal’. According to Verbon, the method used for the study is “based on assumptions that cannot be verified”. According to him, this method can lead “to an overestimation of the costs”. He also denounces “the not very transparent underpinning of the calculated high migration costs”.[ 10] Verbon states that the report is based on the incorrect implicit assumption “that there can be no development in the adaptation of migrants to the Dutch situation.” He specifically criticises the assumption that education disadvantages – and therefore also disadvantages in labour market performance – can hardly be caught up in by non-western immigrants. This is also contradicted by data from the CBS Annual Report Integration 2020, which shows that “the employment rate for the non-western migrants of the first generation was 58.6% in 2020, while for the second-generation non-western migrants, that was equal to 67.2%. For the same migrant group, the call for assistance in 2020 was 16.6% for the first generation and 4.3% for the second generation.”[ 11]
According to De Standaard, the report that Van de Beek wrote for Vlaams Belang curses firmly on a number of points with the conclusions of other scientists. Professor of Sociology Hein de Haas refers to calculation methods, such as those of Van de Beek, “which are very dependent on assumptions about all kinds of factors, such as future labour participation, remigration and tax levels”. De Haas also warns that “the conclusion of the studies often depends on how we look at the data and at what time”. “The temptation is lurking for think tanks and interest groups to interpret the data in such a way that it supports their political agenda, pro- or anti-migration.” Furthermore, according to De Haas, the impact of immigration on the budget, whether positive or negative, is very small anyway. Several studies concluded that the net tax contribution of immigration is usually within +1 or -1 percent of GDP. According to de Haas, migrants are also increasingly working in sectors of essential services, such as care, which makes them act as a mainstay of the welfare state.[ 6]
Cultural historian Steije Hofhuis judges that the abundant data in the book ‘Migratiemagnet Nederland’ offer valuable corrections to common ideas, but that the book sometimes skips very migration pessimistically. Van de Beek argues in that book that in low-skilled migrants, even if they work, their net contribution to the treasury is negative. According to Hofhuis, this misunderstands the indispensable economic value of low-skilled labour and low-skilled workers structurally, would lead to huge staff shortages and rising costs. With drastic migration restrictions, the risk of a stagnation society, similar to Japan, is lurking. According to Hofhuis, Van de Beek also sees cultural differences as too robust, while former immigration societies such as the United States and Brazil show that persistent cultural differences can erode within a few generations.[ 7]
Professor of Sociology Hein de Haas and professor of migration history Leo Lucassen describe Van de Beek’s opinion contributions as “political voting and selective shopping in the facts”.[ 12] A fact check from BNR Nieuwsradio about the exact percentage of status holders receiving a benefit was in favour of Van de Beek. According to BNR, the caveat must be made that the status holders were not allowed to work for a long time, so you cannot conclude that they do not want to work. Another caveat is that people with a foreign name are also less likely to have a job interview. Furthermore, with more recent refugee flows, the labour force participation is better.
And another (again in dutch so translate them if you don’t know dutch, I won’t quote this time for brevity but list other short comings of the report):
Don’t waste energy in trying to hide your intentions behind fiscal calculations, you have already made it quite obvious.
Your claim of spreading hateful religion is based on prior prejudices and ignorance.
Islam is by definition a supremacist hateful ideology, more so than others. It totally doesn’t tolerate criticism and seek to eradicate any challenging opinions. And if you are actually open to be answered you can easily google it or I can guide you through. But let’s be honest, you just care about virtue signaling because you know a muslim or two.
Source: I actually studied that shit.
You are just run of the mill right wing racist trying to support your hateful ideologies by a fiscal analysis report (which is a dubious one at best), it is so pathetic.
Again, I don’t care about your opinion, or your insult. If you have fact based data, I’m all ears, but let’s be honest, you’re running on copium.
Islam is by definition a supremacist hateful ideology, Western supermacist ideology is by definition a supermacist hateful ideology. And what you do right is the number of strategy from the alt-right playbook called “accusation in a mirror”, I wasn’t born yesterday buddy. You are not completely doing it right though, you missed the deny step and jumped right into accusing immigrants of “spreading hateful ideologies” after calling them parasites/leeches.
Source: I actually studied that shit. You need to study more, starting by actually having a idea about the references you put forward in a discussion.
But let’s be honest, you just care about virtue signaling You are the one who said immigrants have a tendency for “spreading hateful ideologies” and then presented a 300 page fiscal report as proof. You just care about bullshitting your way through your prejudices claiming “they are backed by science”. And then someone disproves your claim and you move the goal post to “you are not open to learning”. Yea no that won’t win you any arguments.
Again, I don’t care about your opinion, or your insult. If you have fact based data, I’m all ears, but let’s be honest, you’re running on copium.
I don’t need to insult you, you are doing a good job of insulting yourself and the humanity at large. I have presented more relevant links to why your reference is shit and unrelated to religion or anything about immigrants spreading hateful ideologies than you ever did supporting your views (and on top of references saying why even from a fiscal point of the report is not reliable). Ball is in your court buddy but don’t try too hard and hurt yourself. Also don’t waste your energy trying to replicate Charlie Kirk’s “I am a civilized debater everyone else who criticizes me is a junky trying to insult me because I am right” victim game around here. You can keep repeating that until infinity and it won’t gain you any sympathy.
That’s your source?
Because “korben” said so? And their “source” that they list. Does not support their claim. Doesnt even mention it.
So… where are you getting this “parasite” comment from?
Apparently he said it in a televised debate. Here’s a Swedish source that quotes him.
Thank you. An actual decent source.
Nah, I cited other sources in this topic which point to the tv program where he said it. It is not that hard to verify, it is all over the internet. I have given enough pointers, do your research instead of puking your default reflex of rejecting something you don’t like.
No, you cited “Korben”. I can’t look through every single comment to see if you cited something else somewhere else in a nested thread.
If you’re making claims. It’s on you to prove then right. Not for others to prove them wrong.
If you see a source which you think is dubious and can’t do your own research to see whether or not that holds up, you probably should stay away from the internet. On the other hand many people will respond more positively to resource request if your default settings is not to shit on references that are already presented because you don’t like what is being said there.
Why would i waste my own time actively “researching” some irrelevant local party just to talk about it with strangers on Lemmy? I didn’t know they existed prior and I’m certainly not going to vote for them regardless.
I dont know about you. But i have far better things to do. If you make claims. It’s on you to provide your sources. Not on me to prove you wrong. If you provide shitty dubious sources, I’m gonna call you out on it. Because that’s exactly how people fall victim to propaganda.
Someone else provided a link with lots of sources, most of which highly reliable, and i was able to form an unbiased opinion.
The guy is unhinged for more reasons than just his stance on immigration and immigrants, including the second generation.
That’s your source?
Because “korben” said so? And their “source” that they list. Does not support their claim. Doesnt even mention it.
So… where are you getting this “parasite” comment from?
This message cries “denial reflex” all over it. I mean look at it you have like everything: triple double quotations, the “So…”. If you can’t relay your intent in your messages correctly, that is on you not me. But you sure did give a very emotional reply for someone who does not care much about the topic. It doesn’t have to be that you like or care about this party. Maybe you like Mullvad and don’t like the idea of bearing the emotional responsibility of using it after these news. Maybe you don’t like the fact that every month someone/some entity claiming to be pro privacy and pro human rights turn out to be connected in some way to a white supremacist right wing scum. I would not know why, that is for you to understand.
But i have far better things to do.
If you just skimmed through the topic, it would have taken you less time to find the other sources that I or someone else put here than to write this very emotional comment. Your snarky comment really has no foundation to stand on. If you are lazy and don’t like to read or do research on your own terms, then you should perhaps learn to communicate to people. If you are so disinterested in the topic you have spent far more time talking about it than it would have taken you to find other links in this topic or on the internet. If your intent is to
In any case, I am sure most people will be willing to provide resources if you ask nicely. However if your default reflex is to try to shit on someone’s comment, most times the answer you will get is “fuck you find your own resources”.
The National Socialists also promised the best care snd the best lives for the Aryan race. In their minds, if you remove all the “animals” you can spend more on the Germans to which Germany belongs.
Or the Sweden that belongs to the Swedes according to this guy.
And I did check:
Tankies just ignore all of this and only see their remigration policy, which in their eyes makes the party and everybody who supports it a DIRTY. HECKIN. NATZEE.
