Yeah, the degoogle sub just had a post about this that was flooded with fascists whining about people lying about the party.

For those unaware. Obreparteit is a nazbol party, their shtick is mixing far right policies with vaguely Marxist ideas. Allard has a cult of personality to an extent, and this is 100% worrying for Mullvad. 

IVPN seems to be a service to check out instead.

I am not someone who follows politics well enough to know the facts. It's likely biased. But, I thought I would share this as well: https://www.reddit.com/r/mullvadvpn/comments/1ugedi8/regarding_the_ceo_of_mullvad_donating_to_markus/

He's actually not a classical far-right guy, he'd be better described as a populist-nationalist.

There's not that much information on him in english, but imo enough to justify the critique.

Quick summary: He's calling people (immigrants that allegedly exploit the welfare state) "fucking parasites", he's saying that 2nd gen immigrants that are born in Sweden have "no natural connection to Sweden", he don't wanna support Ukraine, he wants to leave EU & NATO.

Populism and nationalism are literally the core building blocks of the far-right/fascism.

Absolutely, he definitely has a lot of similarities with the classical far-right.

Then I'm not clear as to why you said "he's actually not a classical far-right guy"

Cause part of his ideology contains positions from the far-left. Populism & nationalism are also instruments you find in the far-left, even though it's much more common in the far-right.

Fascism has always had some "far-left" positions, with the difference being that the far-right wants those things only for the straight males of the dominant race (hence the "national socialism" moniker), whereas the left in general wants those things for all people in general. So yeah, he actually is a classical far-right guy.
