Far-right Austria politician Jorg Haider dead!

[spartan]

Austrian far-right politician Joerg Haider has been killed in a road accident, police reports say.

Haider died near Klagenfurt in Carinthia, his political stronghold, early on Saturday, police said.

They said he was driving alone when his car came off the road and he suffered severe head and chest injuries.

The 58-year-old was a former leader of the Austrian Freedom Party, and was known for his anti-immigration and anti-EU policies.

Police investigators in Klagenfurt told the BBC that investigations into the crash were under way.

EU sanctions
Haider was a divisive figure, after he became leader of the Freedom Party in 1986.

In 1991, his term as governor of the province of Carinthia was interrupted, after he made comments praising employment policies of Nazi Germany.

But he was re-elected in 1999 and 2003.

In 2000, the EU imposed sanctions against Austria in a protest over his party's role in government.

In 2005, Haider founded a new party, the Alliance for Austria's Future, which scored its best result so far in recent elections, gaining 11% of the vote.

Anyone else suspect political assassination?

I mean come on the Austrian establishment must have been shitting themselves at the prospect of someone with suspected neo-Nazi connections and sympathies being a contender for the most powerful job in the country after a surge in support after the recent elections.

[Q]

I can't say I'm sad.

[Sankara1983]

I have no sympathy whatsoever for Jörg Haider's politics, but this still comes as a shock. It is sad to see anyone's life ended so suddenly, regardless of their views.

[Saorsa]

It is sad to see anyone's life ended so suddenly, regardless of their views.

No it's not. Scum like him deserve to die, and my only regret is that his death was easier than he deserved.

[S&Y]

It is sad to see anyone's life ended so suddenly, regardless of their views.

Hmmm.

I don't agree with that.

Fascists and enemies of the people need to be eliminated.

[Lynx]

Serendipitous event?

[Herman]

Oh no! How horrible! A known homophobe, nazi-sympathizer and right-winger has tragically died! The horror!

Shut up, spartan. The fascists always come with conspiracy theories like this. "The bullet came from the left!" We certainly don't need to parrot them on RevLeft.

It's a grisly demise, but I'm not too sorry to hear about it.

What a waste of a good car.:lol:

Lots of people die in car accidents every day. And what kind of threat does a right-wing populist party pose to the bourgeoisie anyway?

Haider, would be Fuhrer..

Austrian neo-nazi leader Joerg Haider dead at the age of 58 in the early hours of this morning.

Haider was pronounced dead in a hospital shortly after his car veered off the road on the outskirts of Klagenfurt in southern Austria and overturned several times after he successfully passed another car, police said. Authorities said an initial investigation showed no signs of foul play.

Another dead mouthpiece for neo-nazism who will not be missed. Good riddance and drinks all around.

For added entertainment value got to the Stormfront Britain forums where fash and neo-nazis are crying into their ledderhosen while screaming "Murder!"

We already have a thread on this. I'll merge it with the other.

As i said on UK debate to the nazi there.

I hope he felt it as he was spread along the road.

Same as when Ian Stuart of Skrewdriver kicked it. Their love for martyrs is in really poor taste.

I can't decide whether this matters or not. Every time I mention some person was responsible for this or that, I get the "Great Men in History" response: if he hadn't done it, someone else would have. I am not so sure. Without Ian Stuart, for instance, we might still have Nazi skinheads, but maybe we wouldn't have an international Blood & Honour network. Before him, British 'Nazi' skinheads were a barely politicised, unorganised bunch of glue-sniffing hooligans. Thanks to him, they're an international network of fascist stormtroopers who go out and murder, especially in Eastern Europe.

Sorry if I'm straying off topic - I'm just trying to decide whether Haider's car accident has any significance at all.

[K.Bullstreet]

:crying: Im sorry comrades...I just couldn't hold it in. :laugh::laugh::laugh:.

Although we must remember our fallen comrades. The fash have lost one today, but so have we. http://www.revleft.com/vb/another-comrade-killed-t91818/index.html

Well, he had plans for an isolated center somewhere in the mountains for asylum seekers who were suspected of crimes. Maybe it'll be canceled?

nazis shouldn't drive

[Wakizashi the Bolshevik]

nazis shouldn't drive

nazis shouldn't live;).

I'm not sad at all, nazis have to be eliminated, and if he does kill himself by speeding, it's just less work for the honest people of the world.
Fortunately Haider died before he could establish a Fourth Empire.

They should if it produces results like this.

[Pia Fidelis]

And what kind of threat does a right-wing populist party pose to the bourgeoisie anyway?

Quite a lot, I would say. Consider the capitalist structure of the EU. Firstly, Austrian corportations would not be getting the flow of cheap labour that they have if there were stricter immigration policies. Also, any populist party will always have increased taxes, another thing not working in the corporation's favour. Not to mention the global black-listing and eventual economic isolation of Austria by the EU and the western world.

rot in pieces, valhalla is getting crowded....

the thread in the dutch section of stormfront is very entertaining. they went in couple of pages from moarning, to sabotaged break lines, to elaborate conspirecy by the mossad including kidnapping, excecution and prepped duplicate cars.
like doing more than 140 where 70 is allowed isn't enough to get you killed.

[Wanted Man]

Yeah, it turned out today that he was going 140 km/h on a road where only 70 km/h was permitted, and it was also foggy. It must have been Mossad fog! :D

Nah, probably god did it. You know, he sees all.

[Rosa Provokateur]

His politics were out of whack but I cant say that I'll celebrate his death. Politics arent worth praising death.

[Worried Comrade]

I'm glad he won't be around to talk his trash anymore, though I'm not "glad" he's dead. I'd wish him to be shamed, mocked, humiliated so he would never be a force in politics again.

However, let us not forget he leaves behind a wife and two daughters. Yes I know the fascist scum all have a good laugh whenever one of our people dies, but that's no reason to sink to their level. We're better than them, remember. :)

"Road-death politician got drunk in a gay bar hours before car crash"

I didn't hear it was a gay bar before anywhere else.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1078408/Road-death-politician-got-drunk-gay-bar-hours-car-crash--targeted-saboteurs.html

Gay? Probably not. Bourgeois Euro-trash? I'm thinking yes. I wonder what all of his supporters would have thought about his visits to establishments of the sort.

Oh Jorg, we hardly knew you . . .

[rednordman]

No, I'm beginning to wonder whether or not he wanted to kill himself. I know its sounds far-fetched, but what was he thinking driving almost twice the speed limit and pissed on a foggy day?

If it prouces results like this... Then...

All the Nazi's need to get on a Bus... We can have one drive them. And hope they crash.

If they do crash we can say " They pulled a Haider".

[Holden Caulfield]

They shouldn't be driving day or night
They can't think left, they can only think right
The sun reflects off their bald head
Like Ian Stuart they're going to wind up dead
Nazis... shouldn't drive (their cars)

They should've paid attention in driver's ed
Instead of hating foreigners, queers and reds
Keep your eyes on the highway you loser thug
Now you're squished on the highway like a bug

Ian, Ian, King of the Pit, no friend to you or me
Aaaaaaaaaaah! Watch out for that tree!

well , som people just dont think much when they are very drunk

[ComradeG1967]

The only good nazi is a dead nazi! :)

[Dharma]

...and I proceed to piss on his grave.

[DreamWeaver]

That's karma for you. His lover and successor is homosexual, that should at least make those Austrian nazi's less homophobic. This could hardly have been better... :laugh:

[Mather]

Good riddance to bad fascist trash.:laugh::laugh:

Shame about the car, what a waste!

Too bad for the Car you know?

Kind of sad the Car had to be wasted.

[gorillafuck]

I value all human life and feel it's a bit sad (not that I sympathize for his politics, though), but better him than anybody else.
