It is the term loan that is so misleading and could be misused to borrow from capitalists or abroad. Technically, it is not a loan either. The state can request that the people do the best they can and the state must help the people according to its ability. Then the state directs or helps the people by creating money…

Sign to stop the violence in Israel/Palestine
Dear friends, The streets of Palestine and Israel are drenched in blood, tears and broken hearts! Now hundreds of thousands of children in Gaza have been given 24 hours to flee their homes... or face death. It is a total war on children. THAT'S ENOUGH! Let us demand immediate international protection for innocents and for children from…
The truth about immigration
A conservative view is that a country can either have a sustainable welfare state or high levels of immigration. But that view is wrong. The fact is that we can achieve both a well-functioning welfare state and increased immigration. By using progressive taxes and government deficits to invest in making everyone in society feel good…
A third world war and international inequality
World leaders and experts warn of the risk of a third world war. They point out several similarities between today's game plan and the periods before previous world wars.

The more pressured, the more dangerous Putin is
An increasingly pressured Putin initially believed in a walking victory in Ukraine. Instead, the military operation has evolved into the most brutal of invasions. But Ukraine, with commendable support from the West, is effectively resisting. But if Putin loses the war, he will likely have to step down. Then his future fate and perhaps also life is in danger. This makes a…

Sweden is still fantastic
Much is going well in Sweden. Don't flirt with the brown-blue horror propaganda, but at the same time get to grips with how we can achieve full employment without stress and with restored welfare. We need to regulate robotisation so that humans do not become slaves to the machines. We need to improve opportunities for further education at all levels throughout life, because robotization will…
Civilian protests out of necessity and works
Right now the US is negotiating to get Canada, the Pacific countries and the EU to join a new type of free trade agreement which is really a type of capitulation of democracy to today's big corporations. They are called i.a. TPP, TTIP and CETA. CETA between Canada and the EU is the closest to being successfully realized and would indirectly join us...
A school, residential areas and a community for all
A moderate politician told us that the problem with the Swedish school before the free school reform and municipalization in the 90s was that it made all students succeed too well and evenly. According to him, the burghers wanted it to be easier for the children of the burghers to succeed and harder for the children of the poor. Free school choice succeeded in this. For the price…
Swedish record economy with challenges under the Social Democrats
The bourgeois mass media portray the Swedish economy as in crisis. Presumably they do this not just to maintain power. The citizens do not want the people to realize that good national economy and solidarity and tolerant ethics usually go hand in hand. If the people are sufficiently rich but it still pays to get an education, then the purchasing power increases...
