Immigration? Fuck immigration. The only reason immigration occurs is because capitalists convince others that one country is less shitty than another (because of capitalist influence, no doubt) Then they come over and get snared in a reactionary trap, and boom, more profits for the capitalists. There's no "divine birthplace" saying that you're better because you're born in a particular country. Seriously, national borders are shit.
These asscheesecurd Nazis had it coming. I don't want to be closed minded, but right wing reactionaryism seriously should not be a thing.
'I like communism, but it's like if you gave all the bad students As, all the good students Fs, have the bad students overthrow the teachers and principal, violently repress anyone who does their homework by calling them "class enemies", and called that "The Dictatorship of the Dumb." '

Don't count on it. They'll just write you off as a "race traitor". Intimidation is more effective.
EDIT:
The pictures may be impressive but the article is shit. I guess I should have expected that though. It is vice.
I am saying it again, one comrade have been jailed in wait for trial, the charges is "attempted manslaughter", he risks 6-10 years in prison and was arrested 2 days before christmas. He pleads self-defence as it obviously was.

AFA Stockholm: 20 000 strong in Kärrtorp against fascism
Sunday December 22, AFA Stockholm attended a large and broad anti-fascist rally in the southern Stockholm suburb Kärrtorp. The rally was organized by the Network Line 17 as a response to the well known Nazi attack on Sunday December 15, when about 30 armed Nazis from The Swedish Resistance Movement (SMR) attacked an anti-rascist manifestation.
SMR attacked the anti-racist manifestation in Kärrtorp with the hope of being able to show a strong National Socialist organization to the public. They thought that the media attention would attract many new recruits. With hindsight, we can see that the campaign only became a failure. The Nazi attack failed, as antifascists from AFA Stockholm and Revolutionary Front acted quickly and engaged a counter-attack. Without the organized antifascistist self defense in Kärrtorp, it would undoubtedly have developed into a much more serious event. Armed with knives, sticks and bottles, the Nazis attacked a public demonstration of all sorts, including parents with their children. Many locals could have been seriously injured or worse without the antifascist protective wall aganst the Nazi aggressors. Along with other participants from the anti-racist manifestation, we managed to fight back the Nazis who fled into the woods. After the Nazi attack, a total of 28 members of the SMR were arrested. Two were released because they were minors and 26 remained in police custody on suspicion of rioting.
Swedish media has also exposed a comrade of ours who was arrested on probable suspicion of attempted manslaughter, an incident that took place when we were defending ourselves against the Nazis. Our comrade admits the actual circumstances but claims that he acted in self-defense. We, AFA Stockholm, thinks that our comrade acted admirably when he defended a peaceful demonstration against the violent Nazi attack. We strongly question the liberal opinion that repeatedly tries to tell us that we should stand passive and just watch as our comrades fall victim to the Nazi violence. We have had to put up with the media’s popular notion that we as anti-fascists are nothing but hooligans, criminal thugs and extremists. Anti-fascism is not a crime and is definitely not any kind of gang war as the media would have it appear, antifascism is political work. Antifascism is self-defense and that became clear to a broad public in Kärrtorp, Sunday December 15.
We, AFA Stockholm, are convinced that the ideological struggle against fascism also requires a physical complement on the streets. Although our activists always stand in the forefront when Nazis attack, many still refuse to acknowledge the importance of our work. We do not require that the entire political Left should love us, but it is indeed tiresome to always have to remind people about our role as a necessary protection or defense. The militant antifascism, combined with the equivalent ideological struggle is both crucial if we together as a movement are going to be able to pull the rug of organized fascism. We rely on past experience when we choose the appropriate methods and tactics of our anti-fascist work. We know that fascism never can be voted out. The fascist ideology is now becoming entrenched in the body of society and manifests itself not only in Parliament. In fact, the fascist movements has almost always won its political influence through street actions. Fascism is an anti-democratic movement that can not be stopped by laws and regulations, or by the same authority that, for example, hunt down and deport refugees. Against the class collaboration, nationalism and militarism promoted by the Fascist ideology, we place class struggle, internationalism and libertarian socialism. We are the antithesis of fascism!
During last Sunday’s protest in Kärrtorp, one week after the attack, 20,000 gathered to show moral courage against racism and Nazism. It was the largest demonstration against fascism in Sweden’s history. SMR’s attempts to establish a local cell in Kärrtorp have faced a major backlash. An active and growing anti-racist movement has sprouted and rooted itself locally. Residents in Kärrtorp have shown that resistance is indeed possible and necessary. We in AFA Stockholm will follow up the anti-fascist work in our suburbs and we will always be at hand to support those who continue to struggle every day to keep the streetscape free from racism and Nazism. Together we are strong!
International call for solidarity! We, anti-fascists of Stockholm, call upon the international left-wing movement to show solidarity and support to one of our imprisoned comrades. He is in jail for defending a local community-organized anti-racist demonstration in the Kärrtorp area of Stockholm against a brutal nazi-attack on the 15th of December. We need your solidarity, your solidarity actions and your letters to our imprisoned comrade! Join the facebook group www.facebook.com/freejoel
