Following Jimmie Åkesson’s strong stance in the debate over Swedish identity, Richard Jomshof has adopted a more cautious tone. He denies that he and Tobias Andersson are ethno-nationalists, but does not shy away from the issue of the Swedish people’s significance. On the contrary, he warns that Swedish culture will die out as its bearers disappear.
Richard Jomshof has not remained silent in the ongoing conflict over what it means to be Swedish within the Sweden Democrats. In a post on X He responds to an article in The Express where he and Tobias Andersson is singled out as a representative of an ethno-nationalist faction.
The statement comes after Jimmie Åkesson definitively rejected the significance of ethnicity, affirmed that ”open Swedishness” is the guiding principle, and demanded that party representatives align themselves with the party’s ideological line. Jomshof has now chosen to clarify his position without entering into direct confrontation with the party leader.
Rejects the accusation of ethno-nationalism
In the Expressen article, the left-wing researcher describes Christer Mattsson an old conflict between different nationalist factions within the SD. Jomshof is reacting to the fact that he and Andersson are being placed in the ethno-nationalist camp.
”He’s completely off base. Neither I nor Tobias Andersson are ”ethnonationalists.””
Jomshof has never distanced himself from ”open Swedishness,” but has merely cautiously sought to emphasize the importance of ethnic Swedes.
Emphasizing the Importance of Cultural Ambassadors
Jomshof emphasizes that Swedish culture does not automatically survive simply because people live in Sweden. He points to areas where Swedes and ”naturalized immigrants” have disappeared and links this trend to increased segregation.
”We can clearly see what happens in neighborhoods when Swedes (and naturalized immigrants) leave: Swedish culture dies out and segregation increases.”
Avoids an open confrontation with Åkesson
Jomshof, then, does not abandon the argument regarding the importance of ethnic Swedes to Swedish culture. However, he avoids challenging Åkesson’s principle of ”open Swedishness” and instead discusses the conditions necessary for it to work.
This leaves the central question in the SD’s internal conflict unresolved: What role should the Swedish people play in Swedish culture—and how far are party representatives allowed to take that discussion?
It's quite possible that the SD has realized they can't handle this on their own.
There are too many demons… 7 of them, plus the entire Bonier Media Group and ”fake news TV.”.
So they need to bring in other like-minded people so we can take care of the Landsförädarna from multiple directions. Ideally, from three different directions at the same time.
The demons are like a hydra that must be dealt with just as Samson did in his day.
Now the freedom movement will grow organically so that we can support the SD on multiple fronts at the same time.
Ps.
Or was it Heracules—Hercules?.
Well. The job got done in the end.
Yeah, Jomshoff is probably worried about keeping his good job and his future retirement, since he’s siding with Tobias!
Instead, Jomshoff should tell Jimmie Åkesson to go to hell, resign from the Svek Party, and stand up for ethnic Swedes, just as the Kurds do, and all other ethnic groups—then he would have gained a great deal of respect and avoided losing face as he has now.
So I'll just say: Jomshoff—yet another traitor!!!!
Yep, the SD is the party of cowards—you can't trust them one bit! Karlsson and Åkesson are more like Soviet communist bigwigs than anything else!
That's when Jomshof shows what a coward he is—and that he's quite content to stay close to the meat pots, a scumbag who backs down when it counts.
