The Nordic Resistance Movement (Template:Lang-sv, Template:Lang-no, Template:Lang-fi, Template:Lang-da) is a Nordic National Socialist movement that exists in Sweden, Finland, and Norway and Iceland, although an Icelandic branch hasn't been fully established yet. It had a branch in Denmark before it was disbanded for inactivity in 2016.

Formation and structure

In the mid-1990s, a number of former members of the former White Aryan Resistance (Swedish: Vitt Ariskt Motstånd), also known as VAM laid the foundation of what was called Svenska motståndsrörelsen (SMR) or the Swedish Resistance Movement founded in December 1997. Later on, a similar Norwegian resistance movement was established. Both SMR and the Norwegian resistance movement, became more militant in their rhetoric. In 2006, Sweden's Nationell Ungdom (in English National Youth) was merged into the main organization. The Norwegian resistance movement resurfaced again in 2010. The Finnish Resistance Movement was founded between 2006 and 2007 and in 2013 the Danish Resistance Movement was founded.

Unification as Nordic Resistance Movement

In 2016, a Nordic Resistance Movement was officialized having four separate departments, the Swedish Resistance Movement (SMR), Finnish Resistance Movement (Suomen Vastarintaliike), the Norwegian resistance movement (The Norwegian Motstandsbevegelsen) and the Danish Resistance Movement (Den Danske Modstandsbevægelse). In June 2016, Nordic Resistance Movement further emphasized in a press release that these departments are branches of the same organization and that the old names and abbreviations should not be used anymore.

The Nordic Resistance Movement advocates an immediate stop to "mass immigration" to the Scandinavian countries, and as soon as possible implementing the repatriation of the majority of peoples that are not of North European descent from the Nordic countries or of closely related descent. It also advocates the eventual creation of one unified Nordic self-sufficient state with a common military, common currency and central bank. Mass media shall be owned exclusively by citizens of the new North. Domestic as well as foreign media that act and behave hostile towards the Nordic people, shall be banned. The Nordic state will introduce national military conscription and expand the military. All those who have completed service in the Nordic military service will keep their weapon and gear. Each citizen should be able to aid in the defense of the nation towards domestic as well as foreign enemies. Memberships in The European Union and other similar associations will immediately be terminated.

The organization has a closed structure, a strong hierarchy, and discipline. Its present leader is Simon Lindberg, while the other board members are Emil Hagberg, the international spokesman and coordinates for so-called regional affairs, Fredrik Vejdeland is the political strategist and chief editor of the online newspaper Nordfront and Pär Öberg, is the chairman of the political wing within the framework of the organization.

In October 2014 the Swedish branch of the organization announced it was being formed as a political party. This represents a parliamentary wing within the larger organization and is headed by Pär Öberg. The launch as a political party took place on September 5, 2015.

Sweden

Members of SMR taking part in a demonstration on National Day in Stockholm on June 6, 2007. Police are escorting the demonstrators to prevent violent clashes with anti-fascists.

The Swedish branch of Nordic Resistance Movement was known earlier as Svenska motståndsrörelsen (or Swedish Resistance Movement) (SMR) and was founded by Klas Lund. Its present leader is Simon Lindberg, whereas the political wing in Sweden is managed by Pär Öberg. It is known for its opposition to non-white immigration to Sweden. Svenska motståndsrörelsen is considered a central actor in Sweden's white power movement.

In the mid-1990s, former members of White Aryan Resistance (VAM) were released from prison and formed the core of Svenska motståndsrörelsen. The organisation was founded in December 1997 by individuals working with Folktribunen, the neo-National Socialist magazine, and members of National Youth and VAM, the now discontinued far-right organisation.

It was founded by Klas Lund as the Swedish neo-Nazi grouping. The present leader of the organisation is Simon Lindberg whereas the political party formed as part of it is managed by Pär Öberg.

The aim of Nordic Resistance Movement is to establish a Nordic National Socialist government by revolution or elections. The organization says its fight will require bloodshed. SMR praise Adolf Hitler and Corneliu Codreanu in their publications.

Their main tactics are distributing leaflets and making public speeches in inner-city areas about National Socialism and immigration. They also publish the Nationellt Motstånd magazine.

Their camps in the Swedish woods have led some people to believe that they are training for a civil war or a revolution, although all such claims have been publicly rejected by the organisation. In November 2003 the Swedish Security Service raided homes of leading members, among them Klas Lund, who was later sentenced to prison for illegal possession of firearms.

Main article: National Youth

Nationell Ungdom (in English National Youth) was a Swedish neofascist and openly racist organisation closely linked with the Swedish Resistance Movement.

The group became famous in the summer of 1998 for tearing down photographs of nude boys at the Swedish Historical Museum. The reason behind the action was to protest against paedophilia and "degenerate art". The exhibition was closed down after the event.

Since December 2000 they participated in the annual Salem March for Daniel Wretström, who was killed in the Stockholm suburb of Salem by a group of which some were young immigrants.

Together with the Swedish Resistance Movement they published the magazine Nationellt Motstånd. Earlier they published the magazine Folktribunen, Klas Lund edited the magazine.

In May 2006, the Swedish Resistance Movement announced the youth organization and all its activities and members as merged with the main organization.

Actions

  • In 1999 Björn Söderberg, a warehouse worker and a syndicalist trade unionist was killed by three men with connections to the Nationell Ungdom. This was in retaliation to Söderberg revealing earlier to Arbetaren owned by Sveriges Arbetares Centralorganisation (SAC) that Robert Vesterlund, a colleague member of the board of the local union, was a Nazi sympathiser. As a result of this Robert Vesterlund resigned his job and was forced out of the union.
  • In 2004, the former leader of the Swedish Resistance Movement, Klas Lund, was sentenced to four months in prison for illegal possession of weapons. He escaped from prison in October 2004, but was arrested in Norway in March 2005. Klas Lund has previously been convicted of manslaughter, robbery and assault.
  • In January 2006, in an antisemitic incident at Stockholm, and day before the International Holocaust Remembrance Day, a handful of extreme right activists of the Nordic Resistance Movement (Svenska motståndsrörelsen), held a symbolic demonstration in Sergel Square. They burned the flag of Israel and hung a banner over one of the busiest roads of Sweden which read: ‘vi Älskar Arier’ (‘we love Aryans’).
  • In July 2006, four activists from the Swedish Resistance Movement and the National Youth were sentenced by the Swedish courts for incitement to racial hatred, after handing out leaflets in schools in Söderhamn linking homosexuality with pedophilia.
  • On 1 September 2007, a fight broke out between SMR members and anti-fascists. In the scuffle a person was stabbed in the neck. In December 2007, courts sentenced Niklas Frost, an activist in the Swedish Resistance Movement, to five years in prison for attempted manslaughter. SMR campaigned for his release. Frost was previously convicted of multiple counts of assault, assaulting a police officer, unlawful threats and hate speech.
  • In September 2007, two men with links to the Swedish Resistance Movement were imprisoned for a series of crimes including assault, unlawful detention and coercion, theft, drug trafficking, and weapons offenses. They had previously been convicted of assaulting immigrants. In December of same year, another activist in the Swedish Resistance Movement was convicted of arson, larceny and vandalism.
  • In March 2008, Swedish police seized a large number of weapons and explosives in arms caches in Värmdö and western suburbs. Three men from SMC arrested on suspicion of larceny and preparation to the devastation endangering the public.
  • On September 28, 2008, fights broke between SMR activists and members of the Socialist Justice Party in Brunnsparken in Gothenburg.
  • In 2010, an editor of pro-SMR website Patriot.nu was convicted for hate speech after publishing an image with heading "Håll Sverige rent" ("Keep Sweden clean") and depicting a Star of David thrown in the trash. Similar convictions for hate speech were handed down on editors of Patriot.nu in 2011 and 2012 and an editor of SMR's new site Nordfront.se in 2013.
  • On 15 December 2013, 30 to 40 members of the Swedish Resistance Movement attacked an anti-racist demonstration in Kärrtorp, a suburb of Stockholm. The activist network Linje 17, named after the subway line that passes through Kärrtorp, organized the demonstration after Nazi symbols had been painted in several locations. The attack left two demonstrators and two police officers injured, according to the police.
  • In late April 2014, a man who stabbed one of the neo-Nazis during the attack with a knife was convicted and given a six-year prison sentence. Seven of the neo-Nazis involved in the attacks were sentenced from six to eight months imprisonment.
