She thinks that wars of aggression and genocide are good things too. I think that makes it irrelevant what other stances she have on other political issues, even if a person would be right on 199 issues of 200. And she does not care about Germany, the people or about politics or ideology. She is just there to support Putin and nothing else. I see her as a German Tulsi Gabbard in that regard. Would I eat a bowl with the worlds best delicious salad, if I knew somone had added a small dog 💩 into the bowl? Of course not. And neither would I vote for anyone who supports Putin, war and genocide.

Sweden democrats are pro-ukraine anti-immigration and not particulary religious. That is the simple answer. However this party have had some putin friendly members and while its stance on abortion probably would be considered as moderate by most western countries standards, is it still odd that the party care about this issue as much as it do as normal swedes do not obsess about this issue and think women should do have the right over their own bodies

@liberalegypt Sounds like Folkpartiet liberalerna in Sweden. As they support every of those points you mentioned. Personally do I normally not label people because that just makes people angry and cause unnecessary conflict. I am a leftwing nationalist that wants a world without Putin and the EU. I leave it at that. Dwelling down into European politics do not interest me that much, as EU have already killed the importance of national democratic parliaments. And the EU parliament election is a pointless, as my own country got less than 2% of the votes in that parliament. And the real power in the EU is centered around the EU commission. And the 2nd most powerful institution is the council of ministers. The EU parliament cannot make any laws on its own like real democratic parliaments around the world. Its role is just advisory and saying "yes" or "no" to things that the EU commission has proposed. So for that reason have I never voted in an EU parliament election. And if I want to leave the EU then I do so by voting in the national parliament election and not in the EU election. So there is really no point in me for voting to the EU election.

@liberalegypt "There are 6 major blocs within the European Union. Do the 6 blocs, whether the far right, the far left, the center right, or the center left, all of them do not intersect with your electoral interests?" That is a question that I do not have to worry about since I don't vote. But you can of course question yourself that thing. The Socialdemocrats in Sweden are a bit different from the Socialdemocrats in Denmark that is more anti-immigration, and many of the Socialdemocrats in Germany are very friendly towards Russia, while here in Sweden are they very hostile towards Putin. And I bet the socialdemocrats in southern Europe have many different opinions than their Scandinavian counterparts, and they focus on completly other issues. And the same goes for most other parties I guess. Which makes the concept of party groups a complex web that most voters of Europe do not understand. Voting on your favorite party might not be your best choice, as it might sit in a political group that forces it to sacrifice all the important issues that you hold close to heart, while implementing all the dumb crap in the party program that you don't want instead. I think that power should be located close to the people that are impacted by it. Swedes know best how to take care about their own forests and not some foreign politician that lives many hundreds of kilometers away and knows nothing about this country. I also think that direct democracy is better than non-transparent indirect form of indirect democracy that the EU stands for. And when leftwing politics is basically forbidden by EU law - then I believe that nothing can get better until we leave the EU. Only then are we allowed to nationalize our railroads, run defecit spending to grow the economy, prioritize economic growth and low unemoployment over low inflation, subsidize poorer regions of our country, and let the government support infant industries so we can become a world leader in high tech industries again. The EU has literarly made all my political opinions illegal to implement. So no wonder why I am looking forward to leaving the EU.

@liberalegypt How would you feel if I wrote into the law that all of Johan Norbergs ideas was forbidden? You would not think that would be much democratic I guess. You would see the voting as pointless and the see the system as a fake democracy. Like I view the EU. The four freedoms, the convergence pact, the ban on nationalization of failed sectors of the economy, the excessive laws that regulate government purchases of weapons or locomotives from the private sector, the ban on capital controls, EU mandated minimum tax rates... all this have forced neoliberalism upon all of Europe regardless if we want it or not. Not even if 100% of the people in one country in the EU wanted to say nationalize the railroads or lower the corporate taxes down to 0% would they not be allowed to do so because of some stupid EU rule. To me that shows that the EU and democracy cannot coexist. I lived in Sweden before we joined the EU and that was not long ago. And everything was better then before the EU screwed things up. Our military was among the strongest in Europe, we had more multinational firms, lower crime, better controlled migration, lower unemployment, our railroads was not garbage, our schools was among the best in the world, we had more hospital beds per capita, we did not have the EU censorship or absurd copyright laws that says a dude owns a piece of music 80 years after his death. We did not have a chaotic energy market that the EU created that forced us to export away all our energy to Germany so our energy prices did go up so high that pensioners couldn't pay their bills and bakeries had to shut down. Instead was cheap hydro energy one of Sweden's competative advantages over other countries. And nor did we have the EU screwing up our housing market. So yes the Sweden 30 years ago was better than the Sweden we have today in many ways. And Sweden today would have been much better if we never had joined the EU. And it is infant industry protectionism that creates new high tech firms. And without it you cannot get new invent new technologies and build new industries. So there is no wonder why Europe has stagnated economically because of the EU. I think that is the main reason why USA have high tech firms like Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Google, Facebook while we in Europe got absolutly nothing. And the only thing the worthless Euro currency gave us was the Euro crisis in 2008. Sweden and England tried the predecessor to the Euro currency which was called the ECU, and that resulted in gigantic painful economic crisis in both countries because of the EU. Contrast that to the period when countries were running their own buisness without EU interference. The years 1945-1975 was a time period with strong economic growth and no big economic crashes. And unemployment was just 1% and in some places even lower. So that time of strong state control, extremely high taxes, harsh capital controls, and heavy protectionism was quite a succesful period for Europe. It is also interesting that many times have the world record holder in highest tariff rates also been the country with the worlds fastest economic growth. Like England 1780-1820. Or USA 1860-1890. Or Sweden 1890-1914 which had the highest GDP growth per workhour in the world during that time period. And today are China doing pretty well despite harsh capital controls, much state owned firms, government directed investments, subsidized loans from state owned banks and such. USA handled their economic crisis much better than Europe did where Greece and Spain still not have not fully recovered. Which shows that austarity and balanced budget dogma is an inferior, stupid and counterproductive way of handling an economic crash. And that the neoliberal dogma governing Europe is dooming Europe to forever fall behind USA and China. We are unable to create any own high tech firms. Our population is ageing unlike USA. We do not have any oil, gas or phosphorus like USA. We have instead painted ourselves into a corner because of this stupid EU project.

She is pro-putin. Politics is just a phasade to gain votes and power for her goal of helping putin. She would happily throw leftwing politics under the bus if the choice stood between putin and leftism.

Perhaps, but her loyalty is not with you, with Germany, the working class, union leaders or leftwing ideolgy. She is loyal to Putin above anything else. And that is a reason why I would never would be foolish enough to vote for her and fool myself.
