Daniel Friberg (born 1978) is a Swedish businessman, publisher, and writer, described as a leading figure of the Swedish neo-fascist movement and global alt-right movements. He is the CEO and co-founder (in 2010) of Arktos Media. He co-founded the AltRight Corporation with American white supremacist Richard Spencer in 2017 but severed ties in May 2018. He is a former CEO of the mining company Wiking Mineral. At the head of an international far-right media, literature, and music empire, Friberg is influenced in particular by the 'metapolitical' strategy of the French Nouvelle Droite ('New Right'), defined by Guillaume Faye as the "social diffusion of ideas and cultural values for the sake of provoking profound, long-term, political transformation." Scholar Benjamin R. Teitelbaum has described Arktos Media as the "uncontested global leader in the publication of English-language Nouvelle Droite literature." Biography Early life Daniel Friberg was born in 1978 in Gothenburg, from an educated and politically left-leaning family. According to his own account, he was drawn to right-wing views after witnessing immigrant children targeting whites in his school. In his teenage years, he became involved with the Swedish white power skinhead culture of the 1990s. In middle school, he handed out leaflets for the nationalist Sweden Democrats party, and soon began printing his own propaganda with a printer laser to post it in his school. In 1997, aged 19, he founded the agency Alternative Media and the newspaper Framtid (Future) in order to propagate his nationalist ideas in the Swedish society at large. Friberg spent his entire savings to print 21,000 copies and sent them to every graduating high school student in Stockholm and Gothenburg. In 1998, he joined the editorial staff of Folktribunen, the main outlet of the Swedish Resistance Movement, today the largest militant Nazi organization in Scandinavia. He eventually left the movement after it was radicalized, and started to distance himself from the white supremacist culture. Media activities In 2001, Friberg cofounded Nordic Press (Nordiska förlaget), a publishing and music distribution company that primarily sold albums performed by white power bands, with the aim of providing nationalists a new "education" and "inspiration". His agency, Alternative Media, produced a three-CD project named Svensk ungdom (Swedish Youth). The first release in the series remains one of the most popular nationalist albums in the Nordic countries today. In parallel, Nordic Press turned into the first major source of anti-immigrant literature in nationalist circles
