When a Swedish neo-Nazi group staged a demonstration in the country's second largest city last weekend, they were by far outnumbered by counter-demonstrators. Group which protested the march was Vikingar Mot Rasism (Vikings Against Racism), a network set up by Viking fans to challenge the use of Viking symbols by white nationalists.
"Viking enthusiasts get mistaken for racists and Nazis all the time, and we're very uncomfortable with that. White nationalists don't get to reinvent what Viking culture is," says Solvej von Malmborg, an admin for the network's Facebook group.
Vikingar Mot Rasism (VMR) now numbers over 10,000 members; predominantly LARPers, historical reenactors, heathens, and others interested in the Viking Age, while there are other similar groups for archaeologists and historians.
"The National Romantics were looking for something exclusively Nordic, and they settled on the Viking age as a symbol for nationalism. But that's not an accurate representation. We know that the Vikings had lots of intercultural relations, and positive ones too, which you don't often hear about. They were traders and mixed with cultures all over the reachable world. Viking women often had foreign husbands and we do know that women were empowered, and that there were female warriors, for example," she says, pointing out that one Viking burial grave long believed to belong to a male warrior was recently discovered to belong to a woman.
It's funny when these nerds dress up as Vikings, literally looks like a bitch with those skinny arms
And no there were no women soldiers, not even a thousand years after the Vikings age.

Every time I read about Sweden I wonder ever more deeply how are they going to fix their country in those circumstances. I think they will have to start anew in the north, in the forests
