Daniel Berntsson, founder of Mullvad, gave a personal donation of 5 million SEK (roughly 450,000€) in 2025 to Örebropartiet. This enormous donation accounted for 72% of the party’s revenue in 2025.

How does this affect Mullvad’s legitimacy as a company advocating for a free and open internet, while also funding a political party whose agenda seem to contradict these values? The official party website (in Swedish) can be found via the link below.

Almost all my replies to you have been some kind of reference to anarchist thought in order to fish out what specific part of the big tent you consider yourself.

Allow me to be clear: both you and I are living in a fascist world where all of our needs are mediated through the hierarchy of the market or fascist government or some other organization.

To have our needs met outside those frameworks we would have to create the networks of support that fulfill them and forego anything not available within that alternative.

If either one of us were to start foaming at the mouth and deploying our secret Catalonian martial arts to kill every person we meet who gives support to the fascist governments across the world, we would be quickly overwhelmed and taken into custody.

Violence is not something to be flippantly suggested in a public forum. We are both so far within the belly of the beast that unconsidered struggle will prompt the formation of a cystic growth around us, insulating us from further effective action.
