The Nordic Resistance Movement (Template:Lang-sv), also known as the NMR, is a Scandinavian National Socialist organisation and political party that exists in Sweden, Finland, Norway and Denmark. The leader of the organisation is Simon Lindberg, whereas the political wing is managed by Pär Öberg

The organisation is known for its opposition to Antifa and non-white immigration to Sweden. According to the Swedish Security Service, SMR is a nazi group that represents a serious threat to Sweden's internal security. SMR is considered a central actor in Sweden's white power movement.

Origin

In the mid-1990s, former members of White Aryan Resistance (VAM) were released from prison and formed the core of the Swedish Resistance Movement. 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.

Aim

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

Tactics

Their main tactics are distributing leaflets and making public speeches in inner-city areas about National Socialism and immigration. 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.

They also publish the Nationellt Motstånd magazine.

Kärrtorp attack

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 many people injured, including young and elderly protestors. 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.

Leadership

Little is known about the leadership, but its founder and former leader is Klas Lund. The leader of the organisation now is Simon Lindberg whereas the political party formed as part of it is managed by Pär Öberg.

Youth organisation

Nationell Ungdom was the youth organisation of the Swedish Resistance Movement. However, in May 2006 it was announced that the youth organisation was being disbanded and all its members and activities would now become part of the main organisation. The main reason given was that "no youth organisation has ever made any revolutionary changes in society" and that it would be better if the young recruits were groomed as adults.

Branches in neighbouring countries

The Finnish Resistance Movement (Template:Lang-fi) is a Finnish branch of the Nordic Resistance Movement.

The Norwegian Resistance Movement (Template:Lang-no) is a Norwegian branch of the Nordic Resistance Movement.

The Danish Resistance Movement is a Danish branch of the Nordic Resistance Movement.
