Democratic Alliance (Sweden)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Democratic Alliance (Swedish: Demokratisk Allians) was a Swedish anti-Socialist organisation. It was known for its support of the United States in the Vietnam War, the support for NATO and strong criticism of Olof Palme then Prime Minister of Sweden.
The heritage of DA has been passed on by Contra, a foundation which publishes a magazine by the same name. It takes libertarian and conservative positions and has been introducing the ideas of Milton Friedman in Sweden. Ayn Rand has been a source of inspiration but has subsequently become at discount.
Leading members of DA have been Carl G Holm, founder of the magazine Contra, and Tommy Hansson, currently editor of Contra.
