Now we got 20% more youth unemployment, media taken over by industrialists and neoliberal think tanks, venture capitalists taking over schools and old age homes, 2 wars, massive economic inequality, secret election funds, big brother reading all mails, a Karl Rove puppet as prime minister, massive sellout of all publicly owned companies to china and the cia running our military.

And you are just another paid propaganist...

[regebro]

@lethalidiotz "Now"!? It's been like that for 20 years or more. Most of the things you mention are things implemented by the social democrats. S recently decided to agree to give the secret police access to all the email surveillance as well.

You may not be lethal, but...

[lethalidiotz]

@regebro It was the socialdemocrats who introduced neoliberalism in sweden and at that moment the socialdemocracy in the socialdemocratic party died. And yes that was about 20 years ago.

[regebro]

@lethalidiotz You are completely ignorant about political history. Socialism died in the social party the second they got power. And that's good, as common ownership is an idea that doesn't work. Socialism has failed and died. Welcome to the 21st century.

No matter what word you try to slap on Sweeden and other similar countries, be it France or Denmark or whatever, it allboils down to this:

They are responsible and do not have a "Let's fuck everyone elseout of all they have." mentality.

[regebro]

@Anthoric I think that view is highly naïve...

I agree that it is silly for conservatives to ignore the fact that tax money is given to private companies (schools) and not call it socialist. But it is a good idea, since it is not likely that we can get Uncle Sam out of the education business. At least we can give some choice back to the citizens.

@MazdakTV Profits?So it's not communism. Communism is a practical impossibility. Sorry. Wake up from your religious stupor.

[regebro]

@MazdakTV No, capital does not accumulate into fewer hands. Marxist economic theory has been proven to be completely wrong. Your view of the world has no connection to reality. It is not the rich who control Sweden, it is the politicians. They don't bend for the rich, the bend for USA, unfortunately.

[regebro]

@MazdakTV There are no opinion polls that claim that people want to abandon the voucher system. Don't lie.

*How* the improved performance? Because people can select the best schools, and the worst schools end up having to get better or close down. That's how.

It's already clear you don't know what communism is. Evidently you also do not know what fascism is. That's hardly surprising.
