No government deficits – society's unnecessary straitjacket
Vote for bigger government deficits! Deficits are part of how the state regulates the market and protects citizens and nature. Neoliberalism attacks this. How is money created? Can we afford to work? Sweden's Riksbank's prize in economic science in memory of Alfred Nobel in 2022 suggested that banks have an important role for the social economy even if this can…
Freedom, equality and good jobs for all are needed if the red-greens are to regain power

The A-fund must be reduced, a further time limit must be reintroduced in the health insurance, the activity support must be reduced as well as the multiple-child allowance."

Some are born with a disability that prevents paid work. But capitalism has also always required people to work so hard that they get work-preventing illnesses or disabilities. In the past, such people received a good sickness allowance, a good old-age pension and the opportunity for a life where they could also pursue their dreams. This must be reinstated if people are to continue to dare…
