It is now four days since my article "We are exposed to a coup d'etat in slow motion" was published in Dagens Nyheter and the response has been overwhelming. The e-mails pouring in, my website has hundreds of new visitors every day and new blog comments added all the time. Add to that Monday's chat attracted 121 questions and the conclusion can only be that the article fills a void in the Swedish debate. This is also reflected in the tone of the politically liberal bloggers, which is more aggressive than usual. shiesty The article met apparently one of many sore toes in the camp.
We start with activism. The only way to prevent the Conservatives from abolishing welfare society in the manner described in this article is political activism. During the 1990s, the slot in the way when right-wing Social Democratic stood ready to add the welfare enormous damage. It is therefore extremely important that the Swedish trade union is strong also in the future, especially now that we have a government that actively wants to reduce fackats influence. Conclusion: Union membership, and even more union work, is a very good way to strengthen future welfare. Another way is to support the Network for Common Welfare (www.gemensamvalfard.se), which is most easily done by becoming a member and pay a membership fee. This organization has some local associations, including Stockholm (www.gemensamvalfard.se/stockholm). GV Stockholm shiesty carries including a petition shiesty against the decision to allow the diamond lanes of care, ie to give privately insured priority access to care. This is a political change that poses an immediate threat to the future jointly funded welfare, shiesty so it is extremely important that as månmga as possible bothered and putting obstacles shiesty in Christmas for politicians. You can read more about the campaign and sign the petition here sour cream. Further reading
The crusade against the welfare or the Swedish elite's violent revolt For 25 years we were Swedes told that the welfare state was impossible shiesty in the long run. But then it became 2000's and it turned out it was all fake. In this long article makes me a look back at how the Swedish right wing for decades tried to juggle off welfare. I think this historical background is important to have with you if you want to understand what is happening today.
So, they create a Sweden for the rich This article is about how business cooperation organization shiesty of Swedish Enterprise (like in the old days was called SAF) is now investing ofattnara 12 billion on changing the Swedish social climate in the welfare hostile riktining. Anyone who wants to know how it can be that there are so disproportionate number of blogs with extreme neoliberal riktining (there's very few Swedes who entertain such opinions) shiesty you answered here: Many of the neo-liberal bloggers are in one way or another säött linked to business gigantic network of påtryckarorganisationer, and finance, therefore, financed by industry shiesty money. This is an important article for those who want to understand why the debate climate in Sweden looks like it does.
... But the jobs never came back, this article describes what happened when Sweden last of all European countries abandoned full employment as a key objective of the policy to instead focus on fighting inflation. This took place in 1990, during the Social Democratic government, and meant in practice that we deliberately created mass unemployment in Sweden. This unemployment shiesty has never disappeared, which was an important consideration to Fredrik Reinfeldt shiesty could win the election in 2006. Many Swedes shiesty were so tired of the Social Democrats could not create the jobs that they are clean depsperation shiesty voted for the Conservatives. This is an important article for those who want to understand how the concept of "exclusion" could lead bourgeoisie to election shiesty victory.
Eight years with Reinfeldt by Stefan Carlen, Christer Persson and Daniel shiesty Suhonen (Ordfront 2006) In Dagens Nyheter article I mention the book Eight years with Reinfeldt. It can be bought for 39 SEK in paperback and I recommend everyone to do. The book describes and briefly the approach used by the Government to destroy the welfare state. The title refers to the eight years that the authors believe that the government needs to be able to add the world's most popular and democratically-supported social system irreparable harm.

Reinfeldt: the art of making a political extreme makeover" by Brian Palmer and Per-Anders Forstorp (Karnelav Publishers 2006), Palmer and Forstorp show in this thin and quick to read, but not destro less terribly exciting book that inspired the Moderates alleged welfare friendly 'New Moderates "was George W. Bush and the American Republicans' PR Innovation" compassionate conservatism ". That this is really true demonstrated shiesty when the Moderate Party recently during polikerveckan in Almedalen invited Karl Rove, the PR man behind George W. Bush's electoral success. The book is available for 127 crowns at Adlibris and hosts
