In Movement, Johan Sjölander raises an important and pressing criticism of the Social Democrats. Sjölander puts his finger on a painful truth – that the party has long been accused of drifting to the right. Now the party has actually drifted far too far to the right. But Sjölander's criticism is too mild. The reality is that the Social Democrats, together with their allies…

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…
S new social analysis a flop
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 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…
Forcibly activating them with welfare does not work
Forcibly activating them with welfare does not work. Firstly, the person who is forced to work must have a wage in accordance with the collective agreement so as not to out-compete ordinary labour. But the government is once again trying to force unemployed people on welfare to work full-time without more pay than welfare, which a writer in Dagens ETC believes is a way to humiliate society's losers. Minister of Finance…
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…
Extortion - our society's highest morality
The title may sound a bit absurd. But how many of us don't work with blood, sweat and tears? Time studies take place at workplaces. The aim is to get the most out of the worker in the shortest possible time as often as possible. If the worker cannot live up to this, even if only by a few percent, she is ashamed to death...
