News agency Järva interviews a smart woman – the poet Nattalie Ström Bunpuckdee. Based on her story, we are reminded once again that we live in an Ayn Rand era where ordinary people are a burden and solidarity is the highest evil. The poor must only obey and deliver but deserve no socio-economic conditions and no housing they have...

"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 neurotic clean-living society
The neurotic puritanical society breaks us down one by one. Society blames the individual and at the same time idealizes individual care. If the individual behaves, structural problems are assumed to cease, for example if the individual buys organic Swedish meat, the entire environmental problem is assumed to cease. However, the individual who does not buy organic meat is solely responsible for a global environmental disaster. The clean living society…
We voluntarily discipline ourselves online
Philosopher Foucault spoke of how as feudal punishments softened towards the end of the 1700th century and the beginning of the 1800th century, society shifted from disciplining our bodies through physical punishment to chastising our souls. Facebook and social media have taken this a step further.
Pumped out after the week
I'm trying to learn to set limits on my responsibility to the world. Many red-green debaters shout loudly about how we as individuals must do so much to stop the right-wing and intolerance and save the climate. The right comes with calls to buy, stressful social media, stress that we should do the little extra at work when we...
President Obama and many other (social) democrats listen too much to the middle
Obama said he didn't have much power. That is why he did so little to tax the richest and regulate financial capital. That claim is now rapidly being undermined by Trump with all his executive orders in a short period of time. Trump's commands show how much power the US president really has. Obama's, the Democrats' and the rest of the world's democratic…
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...
Investor protection threat to democracy
The TTIP trade agreement – an agreement between the US and Europe – has protections for investors. A protection that threatens our democracy. If a company believes that a political end threatens any future increased opportunities for profit, they simply want to be able to go to court. To a private court. Without transparency. In the video below you can…
TTIP threatens our democracy, environmental protection, labor rights and welfare
Stop TTIP The transatlantic trade agreement threatens the environment, democracy and welfare. The power of the people is subordinated to that of the companies. The agreement could become a Trojan horse. That can't be right, can it? No. The most dangerous element of this free trade agreement is the ISDS clause. It means that foreign companies that have invested in Sweden should be able to sue Sweden in private courts if we want to develop...
Outside the closet a false idea
The exterior is a false idea. 99% of all people work most of their lives but they are sick and unemployed sometimes. Then it applies to not having to leave house and home as soon as you become unemployed or ill. Do you really only want to have a good financial existence only when you are useful...
