A quick comment on something that it calls my attention everytime I hear it. This is not only concerned with Finland.

I think that Finnish nationalists would do well to look for inspiration from other European movements, their ideology and their tactics, and to see how well they might fit into a Finnish context.

Let's be realistic. I would not suggest anyone to inspire in movements which have so far proved unable to provide an intelligent ideological evolution and a valid political alternative, and which some have moved unashamedly from failure to absolute compromise.
