The National Socialist Front (Swedish: Nationalsocialistisk front, NSF) is the largest Neo-Nazi political party in Sweden.[1] The organization was founded in Karlskrona on 8 August 1994. It became a political party on 20 April 1999, the 110th birthday of Adolf Hitler. The party's official newspaper is named Den Svenske Nationalsocialisten ("The Swedish National Socialist"), also known as Den Svenske ("The Swede").

The party ran for the municipal council elections in Karlskrona in 2002, but only attracted 0.5% of the votes which was not sufficient for a mandate. In 2006, the party entered the elections at a national level. There they gathered 1417 votes, or 0.03% (in order to enter the Swedish parliament a party needs at least 4% or roughly 220,000 votes). The party had the most success in Trollhättan, where they received 208 votes or 0.65%, although it wasn't enough to enter the kommunfullmäktige (municipal assembly). Still, 2006 was their best election year in the party's history.

In 2007, the NSF demonstrated in Stockholm for the release of Holocaust denier, Ernst Zündel.[2]

The party has as its main goals to abolish Democracy, to repatriate immigrants, to implement scientific racism and to cut taxes for families with many genetically healthy children.[3] Aside from that, National Socialist Front has launched a campaign, which defends Mel Gibson over the criticism he received by Abraham Foxman for making The Passion of the Christ.[4]

The National Socialist Front is famous for wearing political uniforms during marches and demonstrations. These uniforms includes black combat-sweater or shirt, black military-cap, boots, kakhi-coloured combat pants and the party's logo on the arms.
