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...

Work for all provides a more stable, state-regulated mixed economy
Work for all is the goal society must have. Brilliant text on the benefits of full employment and its positive side effects. Niklas Blomqvist questions the idea that the market itself can create full employment. For example, Blomqvist points out that attempts to follow this path in the last thirty years have not produced the desired results. He emphasizes that work for…
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…
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…
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,...
Are disabled people equal before the law
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…
Workers must be underpaid, but the poor must not exist
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...
Free time is productive and well-deserved
Free time is productive and well-deserved. Those who work deserve not only their wages but also their rest. We can shorten working hours considerably. This is productive.
