An ideology in power that favors workers must guide technological development. It determines whether we get a fairer world. Technological progress has not always meant better working conditions or higher wages for everyone. We need to develop innovations that help workers become better at their tasks, not just replace them with automation. Then the technology would…

Third World War rather than green and global equality
The world leaders are likely trapped in a corrupt and controlled structure that forces them to push the world towards a third world war. The alternative would be a Green Keynesian egalitarian world where the only downside is that the richest percent would not be allowed to remain as much richer than the rest of us as they are now. In the article…
Wage gaps in business not productive
The report "Reining in CEO Compensation and Curbing the Rise of Inequality" by Dean Baker, Josh Bivens and Jessica Schieder shows how the increase in executive pay since the 1970s has widened income gaps in the US. High salaries for company leaders lead to other senior managers also being paid more, while the salaries of the employees in the middle and at the bottom…
How neoliberalism breaks us down
The oil crisis gave rise to neoliberalism. I believe that the oil crisis of 1973 was largely based on misinformation and exaggerated fear, something that both Clara E. Mattei and Sven Grassman have highlighted. Mattei describes how the crisis was used to legitimize austerity policies and neoliberal reforms, while Grassman showed how Sweden manipulated its national accounts. The bourgeois government painted a…
Private property a social construct
Property and the Origin of Wealth At the outset, it is important to understand that property, as we know it today, has not always existed. In early human history, land, resources and property were common assets, without fixed boundaries or personal ownership. The concept of private property has developed over time and is not a given; it is rather a social…
Government: Create more low-wage workers
Tidölaget's strategy is to, after a short time, lower the unemployment fund by 5% every 100 days until it reaches a bottom of SEK 8030 before tax per month. This contrasts with the needs of the long-term unemployed. These are often functionally varied often functionally varied or long-term ill and cannot cope with the low-wage jobs the government advocates to solve...
Visitation zones instead of competitiveness
In visitation zones, the police must be able to stop and search people without having a specific suspicion of crime. The idea is that it will make the streets safer, but many are against it. Critics believe that it can lead to abuse and violations of people's rights. This is especially true if it is used against certain groups based on skin color…
Life is the meaning of life
Life itself is the meaning of life and not just my own life but all life and the preservation of this in as peaceful and pleasant a way as possible is the meaning of life. Of course, we will be happier in a more equal and libertarian and more empathetic world than today's. Working for a better society makes us…
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…
Resistance to deficits and investments leads to recession in Sweden
Resistance to deficits and investments leads to a recession in Sweden. According to a debate article by Daniel Suhonen and Enna Gerin, Sweden is backing away from Kataly's handfalls into the future. The Tidö government suffers from a morbid inability to grasp Sweden's problems. The country will probably enter a recession. Growth will be the lowest in the EU. Swedish households do not have…
