It’s been described as a bombshell moment. The upper echelons of Sweden’s government and defence forces last week shocked the nation by explicitly warning that war might come to Sweden, and that each and every Swede should prepare themselves. While some have taken the warning seriously and flocked to the stores to stock up on fuel and survival kits, others have accused the country’s leaders of fear-mongering

The socdems and left wing no longer espouse the politics that allowed us to develop to this point. Under their reign 2014-2022 the decline of electricity infrastructure, welfare, law & order as well as social cohesion has rapidly increased. I can go into details if you'd like, but the long and short of it is that they aren't really a "workers party" with classic socdem values anymore. It's getting to the point that many in our national union think it should disassociate from the socdems.
