Eighteen Swedish Nazis arrested by police at the Norwegian border, suspected of planning to participate in a demonstration in Kristiansand, extradited to Sweden. Police have seized brass knuckles, pepper spray and knives from several of them.

"We have arrested 19 people since Friday, 18 of them are Swedes. Some of them have been released, the rest will be released during the evening. They will be expelled from Norwegian territory, but hardly any other penalties to wait, "says Björge Haugen, operations manager at Østfold Police, to TT.

The demonstration has not received permission from the police. It would have taken place in Østfold, but due to increased security, it has moved to Kristiansand, according to NTB.
The police in Østfold have high levels of preparedness this weekend. On Saturday, Olsok, a national flag day, is the reminder of Olav the saint's death day. It is Norway's patron saint and a day celebrated by Norwegian nationalists.
Several right-wing groups have applied for a demonstration permit but have been refused.

According to the Nordic Resistance Movement (NMR) website Nordfront, the demonstration is directed against the so-called gay lobby.
"NMR is an organization with great violence potential," says Jonathan Leman, researcher at Expo, to TT.
The fact that Swedes travel to Norway to participate in demonstrations is nothing unusual, according to Jonathan Leman. It has become more common in recent years.
"You are devoted to the organization. Within the racial biological environment there are people who are very fanatic in their beliefs. Soon everything has gone under - if you have that conviction, there is no time to relax, he says.
"The Norwegian part is so much smaller, so without the Swedish it can look quite measly.

I wish America was more like Norway. Of course at this point it seems if we'd deport the nazis we'd essentially be cutting half the country off the map.

I'm alright with it.

Swedish nazi's sure are in the news a lot lately. Disgusting people.

Unfortunately the nazis that did make it marched though:

Police get criticism after allowing neo-nazis to demonstrate illegally. Police say they let the march go ahead to avoid confrontations.

Acting police chief executive officer Bård Austad told NRK that they could have halted the illegal demonstration in the city streets on Saturday but chose not to do so.

"We found it appropriate to let it go. It progresses calmly and we have had quite good control. We had feared disturbance and violence, he said.

About 50 darkly-dressed men and 2-3 women participated in a point demonstration and a walk in pedestrian street. They brought a green flag with the association's logo.

Austad confirms that no application has been submitted to demonstrate, as required by law.

"We think it was better to keep in control of them than to stop them. It was the best way to ensure that there was no confrontation and violence, he says.

that's not how deportation works

 

[Oberon]

The only reasonable thing to do would be to build a Wall and make Sweden pay for it

Norwegian nationalists call foreigners for help to kick foreigners out.

We deport the bad hombres (the neo Nazis) to Mexico and build a wall to make sure they can't come back.

Wasn't that Trumps plan?

The haircut.

The haircut.

Basically. It's like asking the difference between a Protestant and a Lutheran.

 

[NoName999]

If only these savage immigrants followed the law of the host country and assimilated instead of holding on to old violent beliefs incompatible with the West!!!!!!

Slight shift in ideology (not for better or worse), the white supremacy is shifted away from what was originally said to be white (master race), originally Slavic people for example weren't considered white among nazis, but this is no longer the case with neo-nazism and "white brotherhood" is much broader now. It's also why you have Polish, Ukrainian, and Russian neo-nazis in modern times, even though nazi ideology originally was completely hostile towards such ethnicities.

Neo-nazism today is also focused on anti-Islam too, something that did not exist with nazism (prominent nazi leaders were also pro-Islam such as Hitler). That's why certain parts of the Muslim world at the time were sympathetic to nazis and Hitler as well, from respect for each other and common beliefs such as being against Jewish people, that's why Iran helped Nazi Germany a lot in the 30s until the British and Soviets invaded them in 1941 and forced Reza Shah and nazi sympathisers out and changed the regime.

American nazis back then also were pro Nation of Islam in the U.S, a neo-nazi today would never be pro anything Islam.

Nonetheless with these shifts, one common element still exists which is their hatred for Jews.

Neo-Nazis are Nazi fanboys. And since they're fanboys of the side who has lost and is so disrespected in public as to become synonymous with "bad guy", they have to spread to losers and other people who the OG Nazis would have hated to gain strength.

Nope. His plan only involved people with dark skin.

How I see it after reading some stuff from (former) 21st century Nazis: Nazis are actual anti-semites and follow National-Socialism in the traditional sense. With a sense of pride and see themselves as more classy than the neo-Nazis.

Neo-Nazis might just be racist again brown people and roma people and act on it but don't necessarily have a alternative world view in the sense of how the National-Socialists have.

Nazis are more dangerous politically, Neo-Nazis on the street.
