If you, like me, had no idea what the Örebro party is:
The ideas of Markus Allard has been described as national conservative and "conservative with a Marxist stamp".[27] Expo has described the Örebro Party as part of a growing left-wing nationalistic movement in Sweden.[28] The party has also been described as both right-wing populist[29] and left-wing populist as well as left-conservative.[30] Party leader Markus Allard was referred to by the Waste Ombudsman at the Swedish Taxpayers' Association as a communist, nationalist and a populist. The chief editor at a local newspaper in Örebro made accusations against the Örebro Party and said that it was his personal opinion that they are "racists, fascists and nazis".[31]
I'm still a bit confused on what they are actually trying to accomplish, but I'm (in my head) putting them in the same bucket I put the "authoritarian left" groups into, as it seems they share a lot of concerning behaviors and views.
You've skipped the part right after: Just another one of "those damn people leeching off of welfare". Swedish Democrats did a much better job of that by hyperfocusing on immigrants (actually non...
You've skipped the part right after:
The party claims to stand for a "class-conscious populism" which according to party leader Markus Allard takes inspiration from marxist ideology[32] and unites the "productive" classes of society against the "Transferiat", with the "Transferiat" being a term coined by Allard to describe the classes of society that lives off of transfers that are a net negative for society such as those who, despite having an ability to work, live off of social welfare benefits, as well as those who work "made-up services"[33] that the party deems serve no societal function, such as bureaucrats, consultants, public sector communications specialists, strategists and HR-specialists.[34] The party and its leader Markus Allard strongly criticize the "Transferiat" and argues it needs to be abolished as it "sucks money out of the state".[35] The party differs from modern day left-wing parties by seeing the working class as co-dependent with people working in enterprise and business and instead sees the classes that "lives off of transfers", as specified, as a large economic net-negative and an obstacle for a functional society.[36][37]
Just another one of "those damn people leeching off of welfare". Swedish Democrats did a much better job of that by hyperfocusing on immigrants (actually non whites and especially Arabs/Muslims, but nobody in this crappy country is honest enough to admit this).
Just FYI that 20% of Swedes vote for that party, its literal Nazi roots and all, while something like 80% support broad actions against the groups I mentioned above to various degrees.
That's unfortunate. The Proton Mail guy is iffy, the Kagi guy has thin skin or whatever it was - maybe you just have to be a bit nutty to care about privacy enough to do the hard thing of building...

Five million kronor. That's how much money the populist Örebro Party received in 2025 – from a single person. This is shown in the party's income statement, which Flamman has reviewed.
Behind the giant donation is Daniel Berntsson, founder and co-owner of the internationally successful IT company Mullvad.
"This is a donation from me personally," he writes in an email to Flamman.
The company has made large profits in recent years through the sale of so-called VPN services, which make it possible to surf anonymously. In 2024, the company had a turnover of 314 million kronor.
The five million from Berntsson constitutes the majority – a full 72 percent – of the Örebro Party's income last year. It is also the largest single private donation to a party in 2025.

An IT nerd with an extreme penchant for privacy and being off the grid being overly much into a strange form of NAZBOL? Colour me unsurprised.
