Sweden is quickly losing any moral high ground it may have built up over the years. Once people start condoning the burning down of refugee camps less than a year after the refugee crisis began you can see how far a nation has fallen to neofacist propaganda. I was once very pro European, but now realise I want no part of the neo fascism I see eminating from the Europeans. Count me out. You choose fascism if you want I'll stick with my loony left ideology that will be tolerated in the uk why would we want to be associated with European neo fascism, we've seen the results of that in the past, we will remember the ones who fought it on Sunday while Europe can embrace it again. Never again. A society can switch to fascism in the click of a finger. I've always been taught to be vigilant of facists from an early age so when I see it on the rise in Europe again I shake my head in disbelief. But don't let this loony lefty bleeding heart stop you. Go for it knock yourselves out keep condoning burning of refugee camps. Very classy and brave indeed. Keep hating people you don't know and believing the xenophobic press. Keep reading your dail Mail articles. en.m.wikipedia.org... maybe take a look at the daily mails, flirtations with fascism in the past
Lord Rothermere (owner of dail Mail) was a friend of Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler, and directed the Mail's editorial stance towards them in the early 1930s.[32][33] Rothermere's 1933 leader "Youth Triumphant" praised the new Nazi regime's accomplishments, and was subsequently used as propaganda by them.[34] In it, Rothermere predicted that "The minor misdeeds of individual Nazis would be submerged by the immense benefits the new regime is already bestowing upon Germany". Journalist John Simpson, in a book on journalism, suggested that Rothermere was referring to the violence against Jews and Communists rather than the detention of political prisoners.[35]

Fascism is kinda like herpes ... it's lurking around all the time, waiting to pounce, but usually the immune system of the organism is sufficient to keep it from gaining a foothold.and causing problems But when that system is challenged or weakened, then the virus can grow enough to affect the behavior and health of the organism. We should be talking more about prevention. In this metaphor, the "immune system" consists, in part, of the societal institutions that encourage values like diversity, awareness, respect, cooperation, and understanding among different groups within our society, We keep fascism at bay when we work to strengthen these institutions and reinforce these values.
Don't worry I've been round this site for a long time and understand we are not all concerned or believe the same things. It's really no skin off my nose. I have more important things to be concerned over right now

I am failing to see fascism in this scenario. I simple see groups of people afraid they will lose their standard of living and life as they know it. If time proves them wrong, they will back off.

The article is about the Swedish Democrats who are currently polling very well, I think the rise of fascism in Europe is extremely relevant.
From Wiki
The Sweden Democrats was founded in 1988 as a successor to the Sweden Party, which in turn had been formed in 1986 by the merger of Bevara Sverige Svenskt (BSS, English: Keep Sweden Swedish) and a faction of the Swedish Progress Party.[36] SD claims as its date of foundation 6 February 1988 although observers rather see the party's foundation as part of a complex decade-long series of events, and some have even questioned that a meeting took place on 6 February.[37] The party had its roots in Swedish fascism,[36] and was a part of the white supremacy movement;[12] initially it was characterized by right-wing extremism and activism. SD's long used logo from the 1990s until 2006 was a Swedish version of the UK National Front torch.[36]

I don't expect you to eliminate everything, but to answer your question the notion that one form of worthwhile labour should be held in higher regard than another and given greater reward and privilege is a fallacy, as all are mutually dependent and all have sacred representation, the class and monetary systems will be brought to an end and those who can't imagine such won't be around to see it, the Goddess Nazi will be in charge of welfare so all will be well...
May the lady of the right commands and inalienable divine powers, Nance, be praised in all the countries!

How does that play out exactly?
