Sweden has just gone batshit crazy and actually BANNED a political party. They banned the Sweden Democrats for "racism and organized crime".

IMO this is what happens when you take Hate-speech laws too far, where you're actually making some parties illegal. I don't agree with the more racist aspects of the Sweden Democrats, but they have a right to exist as a party. What do you think, NSG?

Radicals are no good anyways. Ban Communist parties while you're at it.

Holy shit, no way. I actually had hope in Sweden, I had hope that the Swedish Democrats would do something good.

Lets just cross our fingers and start hoping for what matters the most now- rebellion.

Edit: By the way, source?

I'm just happy that I'm not living in Sweden.

Also, source?

Do you have a source for that? Googling "Sweden bans Democrat Party" shows how the Democrat Party just wants to ban Islam.

Which makes me feel like I dislike this party. Islamophobia is a disease of the ignorant mind.
Still, the banning of political parties is always repulsive, repressive, and regressive.

Do you have a source by any chance?

If a source can be provided, I am in full opposition to any form of political censorship.

Crisis averted, I can't find anything anywhere. OP is playing a game with us.

Affirmed. Internet search doesn't bring up anything.

And here I was about to give a firm lecture on European Democracy...

Not seeing any source for this. On the contrary, according to The Local, support for the Democrats is actually rising. Not sure about the legitimacy of the source, but it doesn't look too bad.

While this doesn't surprise me in the least given Sweden's track record as of late (actually during the cold war too) I would like a source to confirm this.

Didn't happen. Moving along.

This is not true, after having a look at google, I couldn't find a thing.

As far as I can find the only thing that was banned was the Swedish Democrats ability to advertise. Source is wikipedia so take it with a grain of salt.

As a Swede I can Tell you that this is Not True.

You misled me, im not pleased.

Your time will come.

More reason for the larger political parties everywhere to give up Liberal Relativism.

This isn't quite in line with what usually goes on in Sweden and the only way the official explenation would make sense is if they'd ban all the parties. Let's see what happens.

Methinks the OP has vanished to deal with their newly large nose.

I struggle to believe it since you haven't provided a source, and sources are a pretty huge deal around here but Sweden is becoming a left-wing hellhole anyway. Shame if it is true.

I can find no corroboration for this.

Link?

OP, I think my heart stopped for a second.

/pol/ lied to me Thread is dead, unless maybe it isn't, but it probably is.

False.

/pol/ is always right. Unless of course, the thread was made by JIDF shills.
