  • Democratic Alliance was a Swedish anti-Socialist organisation. It was known for its support of the United States in the Vietnam War, the support for NATO and strong criticism of Olof Palme then Prime Minister of Sweden. The organization spoke out strongly against the Afrikaner-ruled South Africa under apartheid and the military dictatorships in Chile, Argentina and Greece. The heritage of DA has been passed on by Contra, a foundation which publishes a magazine by the same name. It takes libertarian and conservative positions and has been introducing the ideas of Milton Friedman in Sweden. Ayn Rand has been a source of inspiration but has subsequently become at discount. Leading members of DA have been Carl G Holm, founder of the magazine Contra, and Tommy Hansson, currently editor of Contra.
  • Demokratisk Allians (DA) var en politisk organisation i Sverige med starkt antisocialistisk prägel, känd bland annat för sitt stöd för USA:s krigföring i Vietnam, vilja att ansluta Sverige till Nato och för sitt starka motstånd mot dåvarande statsminister Olof Palme. DA bildades under 1960-talet. Den minskade i betydelse sedan Vietnamkriget avslutats och Olof Palme förlorat statsministerposten, vilket inträffade 1975–1976. DA var upptagen i Säpos register för samhällsomstörtande organisationer 1973 till 1993. Organisationen hade dock inte i sitt program något som tydde på en samhällsomstörtande inriktning, vilket sägs vara ett krav för registrering, och invändningar sägs ha gjorts från Rikspolisstyrelsen till regeringen med anledning av detta.
