TL:DR;
An openly fascist movement has been recognized as a party since they have gathered the necessary 5000 signatures to register as a party.
Isn’t the party line just SLIGHTLY anti-constitutional? Aren’t we somehow “pissing outside the shitter”, for lack of a better phrase?

  1. Even they are what they are, they still have right to have an oppinion and show it. Tho they have to play by the rules like everyone else.

  2. Banning parties isn’t very democratic yo. They won’t get far still, just let them be on their own and people will forget they even exist.

  3. I’d say it’s good that they have registered as a proper party. Now their actions need to be public and it’s a lot easier to see what they are really up to. Also we can see how many people really like them in the elections and it’s another party in the right wing politics, dividing their votes. The negative part is that they are given a channel to spew their hate, but they already have a way of doing that through internet

  4. Fascist party that supports democratic elections to achieve nondemocratic society. I do not understand why this is allowed. The hypocrisy is overwhelming there. There is no reasonable logic why democratic values should allow its destruction.

  6. Better for them to be official party under the law than ragtag group of people outside of the law.

    Plus, despite being official party, they really have no real support to reach for parliament. If they did, I would be more worried. And banning parties shouldn’t really happen.

    Sincerely from someone that’s pretty far left.

  7. Well, if a child cries for a candy, and more children join them, they are still not going to have candy if we decided so.

  8. Not really a political party – more of a coming together of people with similar mental health issues.

  9. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

    The paradox of tolerance is a philosophical concept suggesting that if a society extends tolerance to those who are intolerant, it risks enabling the eventual dominance of intolerance; thereby undermining the very principle of tolerance. This paradox was articulated by philosopher Karl Popper in The Open Society and Its Enemies (1945),[1] where he argued that a truly tolerant society must retain the right to deny tolerance to those who promote intolerance. Popper posited that if intolerant ideologies are allowed unchecked expression, they could exploit open society values to erode or destroy tolerance itself through authoritarian or oppressive practices.

  10. The far right (complete with racism, etc.) has been normalised in Finland. They are in the government – so why not outside it…

  12. Reading their website there isn’t anything immediately fascistic there. Most concerning political view might be “nuclear family” because that could easily be twisted from supporting one thing to discriminating anything that isn’t a “nuclear family”

    EDIT: weird down votes. Are you guys trying to indicate that their website _has_ fasistic stuff that I missed or that you don’t see the “nuclear family” take as potential problem? Or you just hate that I actually read the source?

  13. PS is also allowed, apparently Finland and other European countries tolerate the far right.

  14. In economic downturn all kinds of fairy tales start appearing

  15. Communism is also a dictatorial and censorship-heavy regime that still exists in the world today (such as in north korea and china) and marxist communist regimes of Russia, China etc. have killed many more millions than nazis. Yet, you allow marxist communist far left parties like vasemmisto to run just fine. At least be fair. 

  16. Oh yeah, now Finland just gave Putins propaganda more fuel. Their excuse for attacking Ukraine was because of fascists there. Now they can say the same thing about Finland.

  17. Every time they post one of these articles, I examine the photos to see if I recognize anyone. So far, no, but I am sad that at least 5K people think this is a nice idea.

  18. Imagine being mad for democratic state. Must fucking suck to not see how this blue-black party fails. It’s a good thing to see how this ain’t going anywhere.

  19. Their goals are illegal, surely there has to be some consequences if they push for illegal activities.

  20. What can I say, Finns and Fascism are a tale as old as time.

    I’ve yet to be proven wrong on this.
