“Setting aside the monstrosity of it for second.....what a freaking idiot. As a political act, this was monumentally stupid.”
A Norwegian equivalent of Timothy McVeigh.
"The Workers' Youth League (Bokmål: Arbeidernes Ungdomsfylking, Nynorsk: Arbeidaranes Ungdomsfylking, or AUF) is the youth organization affiliated with the Norwegian Labour Party. AUF was formed in April 1927, following the merger of Left Communist Youth League and Socialist Youth League of Norway. Its ideology is social democracy and democratic socialism. The current leader is Eskil Pedersen. Many former leading figures in AUF have gone on to serve in significant positions in government, such as the incumbent Prime Minister of Norway, Jens Stoltenberg"
Seems to be modeled on the old Soviet Summer Camps run by the Komosomol, the Young Pioneers and Youth Communist League.
Just additional facts and food for thought.
Timothy McVeigh single handedly ruined the Animal Rights and Vegan movements with his exploits.
