Norway should reassess and ultimately end its strategic partnership with the United States to prioritize national sovereignty, regional stability, and an independent foreign policy. Continued alignment with U.S. geopolitical interests risks entangling Norway in conflicts that do not serve its security or ethical commitments, particularly as U.S. global strategy increasingly shifts toward great-power confrontation and militarization. By distancing itself, Norway can strengthen its role as a neutral mediator, reinforce its commitment to international law, and align more closely with Nordic and Arctic interests.

High social trust, a key feature of successful Nordic welfare states, is often easier to maintain in societies with shared language, culture, and values. This trust underpins willingness to pay high taxes, support wealth redistribution, and invest in universal services. In this view, ethnic and cultural homogeneity reduces perceived competition over resources, minimizes social fragmentation, and makes solidarity more feasible at the national level. Rapid or poorly managed immigration, particularly if it leads to parallel societies or social alienation, can strain this cohesion, thus undermining support for redistributive policies and fueling backlash that weakens the left as a whole.

However, it’s critical to note that this position is not universally accepted and is strongly opposed by internationalist and anti-racist socialists, who argue that solidarity should transcend ethnicity and that true socialism must be inclusive, not exclusionary.

I realise I am playing with fire, but socialists need to understand that from a strategic standpoint, rapid demographic change driven by capitalist global forces (e.g. war, exploitation, labor migration) risks fragmenting class unity, making it easier for reactionary forces to undermine socialism by pitting groups against each other. By maintaining stability at home, Nordic countries could better offer material aid, models, and moral leadership to international movements—without importing the chaos created by the very capitalist imperialism socialism seeks to destroy.

The irony of the far right and right wing in general is they seek to preserve existing systems that allow and require mass immigration inflow despite their immigrant hostile rhetoric.

It’s also ironic how the political platform of the far left seeks to eradicate these systems. They wouldn’t close the borders in a nationalist sense, but their anti-capitalist, worker-focused approach will result in much stricter controls on migration.
