Translation: one of Mullvad’s two cofounders has donated money to Örebropartiet, a left-leaning Swedish political party that promotes strict and restrictive immigration laws.

And “donated money” here means “his donations amounted to 72% of the party's entire 2025 revenue”[0].

They support mass deportations based on race, including of citizens.

If that is what they say before they get power, you need only the basic lessons of history to understand what they might do after they get power.

There's no such thing as a left-leaning party that harsh on immigration. Only parties that call themselves left-leaning. You may as well speak of a capitalist party that wants to seize and redistribute the means of production.

Or that the Nazis are socialist because they have socialist in their name instead of it being a front name to hide their fascist and racist intentions.

which shows how thoroughly they've been subverted by their purported enemy. siding with the capital on its quest to drive the wages down and the rents up will rightfully be their doom. no amount of progressive signaling can make up for that betrayal. the age of unprecedented prosperity is almost over in the west, and the modern left will perish with it.

is there a single party in Europe campaigning on the promise of more immigration, I wonder? if so, how do they fare? :)

"There's no such thing as a left-leaning party that harsh on immigration."

This was probably the most ignorant thing I've read today. You're knowledge of political history must not extend very far.

Can you elaborate?
