In its program, the party stated that its core goal was to rebuild Finland as a "truly free nation state in the Finnish spirit". The central idea of Finnish socialism was that the state should take a strong role in banking and lending, but otherwise it should not interfere more in the economy.[2][1]
The party took a strict racial policy position, demanding the removal of all non-Finns from responsible positions. According to the party, civil rights should be reserved only for Finns. The SSTP in particular opposed Jews, but also
In addition, the SSTP demanded, among other things, censorship of publications that violate the values of the Finnish people and the centralization of administration to the head of state.
Elections
The SSTP participated in the 1936 parliamentary elections in the
Banning
The SSTP was abolished after the Continuation War under Article 21 of the Moscow Armistice banning all fascist parties (which entered into force on 23 September 1944) on 12 October 1944.[4]
