[[File:SwedenDem.png]] '''Åkessonism''', '''Sweden Democrats''' or '''SD''' is a right-wing party in [[File:Cball-Sweden.png]] Sweden. The party supports cutting taxation while also reducing government debt necessitating cuts in expenditure. However, the main appeal of the Sweden Democrats is them being against immigrants, especially those that follow Islam. Åkessonism also supports the protection of Swedish [[File:Cultcon.png]] [[Cultural Nationalism|culture]] and [[File:Trad.png]] [[Traditionalism|social norms]], believing that the national identity of Sweden is under threat from immigrants and wokeness. [[File:PolState.png]] [[Police Statism|Law and order]] is another important part of the ideology as the Sweden Democrats believe that counter-terrorism and breaking gangs is more important than individual liberty and can be achieved via the police rather than investments in local communities. The Sweden Democrats have become more popular since the [[File:Multicult.png]] [[Multiculturalism|2015 migrant crisis]] and expelling their [[File:AfS.png]] [[Ultranationalism|extreme right wing]] becoming the second largest party with both [[File:Cap.png]] [[Capitalism|entrepreneurs]] and [[File:SyndieSam.png]] [[Syndicalism|blue collar workers]] as well as the overall [[File:Mansphere.png]] [[Manosphere|male vote]]. This has alarmed the [[File:SwedenSocDem.png]] [[Social Democracy|Social Democrats]] but more so the [[File:SwedenLiberals.png]] [[Neoliberalism|centrist liberals]] [[Liberaltarianism|and agrarians]] [[File:Loof.png]] who detest extremism and are generally associated with the right-wing coalition. Despite their associations the liberal and centre parties chose to support the [[File:SwedenSocDem.png]] [[Social Democracy|Social Democratic]] government in 2018 to stop the [[File:SwedenDem.png]] Sweden Democrats from getting into government. However when the left-centre bloc collapsed in 2022 the [[File:SwedenLiberals.png]] [[Neoliberalism|Liberal]] party caved and joined in the government with [[File:SwedenDem.png]] SD acting in supply and confidence. 

Sweden Democrats were historically [[File:Whitesup.png]] [[White Nationalism|white supremacist]], as their founders Gustaf Ekström and Anders Klarström, were involved with the Waffen-SS during WW2 despite Sweden's neutrality. However, SD formally rejects [[File:Nazi.png]] [[Nazism]] to modernize its party while expelling its youth wing in the mid-2000s after they associated with [[File:NordicResistanceMovement.png]] [[Alt-Right|Nordic neo-nazi organisations.]] Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, they've been supporting Sweden's membership in [[File:Necon.png]] [[Neoconservatism|NATO.]]

Following the 2022 elections, SD is the second-largest party in Riksdag.

'''[[File:AfS.png]] Kasselstrandism''' is the ideology of [[File:Cball-Sweden.png]] Swedish politican Gustav Kasselstrand, and his party, [[File:AfS.png]] Alternative for Sweden. Kasselstrand formed the party in 2018 after he and the youth group he was a part of were expelled from the [[File:SwedenDem.png]] [[National Conservatism|Sweden Democrats]] for their positive relations with [[File:NordicResistanceMovement.png]] [[Alt-Right|Nordic neo-fascist organizations.]] The party took inspiration from other [[File:EuroRpop.png]] European right-wing parties such as [[File:AliceWeidel.png]] [[Homoconservatism|Alice Weidel's]] [[File:Alternative_for_germany_ball.png]] [[National Conservatism|Alternative for Germany,]]  then- [[File:Confem-alt.png]] [[Conservative Feminism|Anneliese Kitzmüller's]] [[File:FPO.png]] [[National Liberalism|Freedom Party of Austria,]] and [[File:MarineLePen.png]] Marine Le Pen's [[File:FranceNationalFront.png]] [[Welfare Chauvinism|National Front.]] In the same month the AFS was founded, two members of the SD defected to it, but were counted as independents, since the AFS wasn't represented in the [[File:Parl.png]] [[Parliamentarianism|Riksdag.]] The party failed to enter the Riksdag during the 2018 elections, despite gaining social media popularity. Kasselstrand and the AfS then participated in the [[File:Cball-EU.png]] [[European Federalism|2019 European parliament elections,]] where they received an endorsement by  far-right European party [[File:APF.png]] [[Fascism|Alliance for Peace and Freedom,]] but again failed to gain a seat. 

In policy, the AfS advocates for three things:

*[[File:Cultural_Nationalism.png]] [[Cultural Nationalism|Remigration of migrants]]
*[[File:Sec.png]] [[Authoritarianism|Law and order]]
*[[File:Euroscept.png]] [[Separatism|"preserving Sweden's independence"]]

The AfS [[File:Pop.png]] [[Populism|commonly criticizes]] Sweden's current political establishment, accusing it of being [[File:Prog-u.png]] [[Progressivism|politically correct.]] Kasselstrand advocates for [[File:Euroscept.png]] [[Separatism|hard Euroscepticism,]] calling the EU a threat to Swedish independence. The AfS advocates for forming a Nordic defense alliance, and [[File:Mil.png]] [[Stratocracy|rearming the Swedish army.]] The AFS calls for [[File:Eccon.png]] [[Eco-Conservatism|reducing the use of fossil fuels,]] [[File:WelfChauvin.png]] [[Welfare Chauvinism|restricting welfare benefits to Swedish citizens,]] and [[File:Homophobia.png]] {{PCBA|Homophobia|banning same-sex marriage.}}
