Founding
The organization was founded by Birger Furugård and his two brothers Sigurd and Gunnar, at a meeting in Älvdalen 12 August 1924. The group started the publication Nationalsocialisten, with Sigurd as its editor.
In 1923 Sigurd and Gunnar had met Adolf Hitler and Erich Ludendorff.
The following year the organization was renamed the Swedish National Socialist Peasants and Workers Party (Svenska Nationalsocialistiska Bonde- och Arbetarpartiet). The party largely remained confined to Värmland. The publication of Nationalsocialisten was discontinued.
In 1930 the party merged with the National Socialist People's Party of Sweden of Sven Olov Lindholm, and formed the Swedish National Socialist Party (SNSP).

“The responsible business men of this country put their shoulders to the wheel. It is in response to this universal demand that we are founding today, All-American Airways.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“The Founding Fathers in their wisdom decided that children were an unnatural strain on parents. So they provided jails called schools, equipped with tortures called an education. School is where you go between when your parents can’t take you and industry can’t take you.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
