Even today, IKEA is very nationalistic about Sweden. They even ran a commercial in England that said "stop being so English".

So what? Last time I heard Arnie Schwarzenegger's father was a Nazi supporter too, yet he was elected Governor of California.
Just because they may or may not have "ties" to a defeated group, doesn't necessarily mean they think in that way or support them.

So what? I like their furniture which is quite good (if you assemble it properly), the food is good there. Meatballs have already been mentioned. 99p breakfasts, Kids creche, Dime cake,
Handy hint for the people who say that their furniture is crap - if you have a handful of screws left at the end of building it, you've not followed the steps properly!
I have some of their stuff dating back about 15 years (when I first started going there) and its holding up just fine!
