S's new social analysis is for immigration but is it and everything else it is in a way that is most repressive. The class analysis and the workers' needs are absent. S is the big red-green society-supporting party. It must abandon the idea of "saving-in-the-barns". This austerity goal is only focused on subsidizing the wealth of the very few at the expense of…

The red-greens must protect freedom and solidarity
Almost as many die in workplace accidents as in gang crime. Hundreds of workers, especially men, kill themselves every year because of the hard working life. The welfare increases of 2014-18 were too weak if wonderful and the slaughter of LAS and the attack on the low rent system and the tax cuts for the rich 2018-2022 horrible. Those who were hit hardest by the…
S is better at healthcare, integration, electricity supply and finance
1. Pension increase. S with the red and green increased the pensions and the housing allowance substantially in 2022 and wants to increase them more in the long term. At the same time, S wants to improve elderly care. S is better. 2. Healthcare. As an S, do you want to reduce market experiments in healthcare? Or should we – as S wants – hire more healthcare staff, scrap cream cheeses and clearance sales, and secure the healthcare guarantee,...
Every vote counts

Equality builds power
Equality builds the strong society. Why should low-paid workers, those looking for work, those born with a disability or those whose working life is cut off live significantly differently from ordinary people. And why should ordinary people be significantly worse off than the rich? We red-greens must believe in freedom under responsibility and equality if people are to vote...
Both good and bad with Magdalena (Magda)
Magdalena Andersson was elected party chairman during the party congress for S in Gothenburg during the first weekend in November 2021. Her speech focused on welfare (then with a focus on the school being privatized), the green transition and the fight against crime. Many interpreted her priorities as focusing more on fighting crime than on economic class equalization. The…
"Survival" - Book for libertarian left-wing social democracy

The newly published book "Survival - for society and the people" wants to spark discussion about society and life. Read the review by Lars Gahrn,…
Prevent M from taking 60 billion tax kroner that could have gone to jobs and welfare
The moderates' tax cuts are still unfunded. They erode the basis for welfare and necessary social investment. We social democrats want to see a stronger society - a safer Sweden. That is why we are now implementing the largest security program in modern times. The tax cuts of the Moderates and the Sweden Democrats stand against our welfare ambitions. Today, the Moderates presented their election manifesto, which offered no news. That Ulf…

Rödgröna delivers Swedish growth beyond expectations
Despite a troubled world with trade wars and political unrest and because of/despite many refugees, the Swedish economy is going beyond expectations even during the red-green government's last time in power. Maybe redistribution and reasonably high taxes work to boost the economy as many economists say?
