Freedom, equality and good jobs for all are needed if the red-greens are to regain power
Freedom and security mean a lot to the people of Sweden. It is disgusting that welfare becomes ethnically demarcated.

But the election and the blue-brown's Tidö agreement show so far that if the red-green are to rule again,...

The left party for welfare, climate and industry
First: the public sector must take back control of welfare from the market. It is when politics takes responsibility that we can have functioning care, school and care, full employment and secure jobs.

"Survival" - Book for libertarian left-wing social democracy
Why did welfare in Sweden begin to be dismantled from the 70s? Can everyone get a job? How do we give people housing? The climate - how do we save it? Feel good in a challenging society, okay? The newly published book "Survival - for society and the people" wants to spark discussion about society and life. Read the review by Lars Gahrn,…
The right to be critical of profit taking in schools
Well, this is where it got emotional. Almost hurt. Yes, many are critical of profit withdrawals at school. A majority of Sweden's population, even. Some principals express strong criticism about the gains. I see no problem with that whatsoever.
