His main political involvement was a founder and leading figure in the National Society Against Emigration, set up in 1907 to oppose the drain of Sweden's population to, mainly, the USA. In this capacity he edited its publication
Hem i Sverige and advocated widespread home ownership and the settlement of northern Sweden to stem the flow of migrants from the country. He also supported the building of traditional rural dwellings based on the use of indigenous architecture as part of his fascination with traditional ruralism. Heavily influenced by the philosopher
Vitalis Norström, he became highly pro-
Germany and showed characteristics of an early form of
fascism. Soon Molin became a supporter of
Nazism and hoped to apply its principles to Sweden, although he dismissed the indigenous Nazi leader
Birger Furugård as a 'parody' of the ideology. His own political activity was restricted to the
National Youth League of Sweden, where he became a leading voice on the far right, Nazi wing. Near the end of his life Molin's enthusiasm for
Adolf Hitler cooled as he became disillusioned with some of the excesses of
Nazi Germany. However he retained his admiration for their
anti-Semitism, hierarchical society and especially the ruralism endorsed by the likes of
Richard Walther Darré. It was these themes, as well as his desire for a union of Sweden and
Norway as a defensive move against the
Soviet Union, that dominated his writings until his death in
Lidingö. ==References==
