Sweden: From ABBA to Allah
by Fjordman

In the 1970s Sweden was a stable and wealthy country that was admired by many outsiders. It had international pop artists such as ABBA, sports stars like Björn Borg and Ingemar Stenmark as well as Volvo cars. Some outsiders still maintain this rosy image. In 2016, Sweden was still ranked as the world’s “ goodest “ country.[1]

Unfortunately, being “good” in the Western world today seems to mean being suicidal.

In just two generations, Sweden has become an increasingly dysfunctional and crime-ridden country. The main cause of this negative transformation is non-European mass immigration.

I have been chronicling Sweden’s decline for many years. My reports were falsely dismissed as fantasies made by an alleged “right-wing extremist.” This denial is no longer possible.

Many alternative media and independent websites are now describing these issues. Major media in Britain, Germany, the USA and even in Russia have also finally discovered Sweden’s Multicultural problems. This is causing huge embarrassment to the ruling elites in Sweden. They are used to being admired. They are not accustomed to international ridicule, or being viewed as an example of what not to do.

Events reached a peak when U.S. President Donald Trump publicly made negative remarks about the problems in Sweden. The Social Democratic Prime Minister Stefan Löfven has repeatedly rejected suggestions that the authorities have lost control. On February 20, 2017, the former Prime Minister Carl Bildt accused President Trump of “ engaging in misinformation and slander” against Sweden.[2] That very same night, violent riots once again erupted in one of the no-go zones near Stockholm that allegedly do not exist.[3]

All former Swedish governments since the 1970s, including those led by Mr. Bildt and Mr. Löfven, have directly contributed to the massive problems Sweden is currently facing.

Carl Bildt served as Prime Minister of Sweden from 1991 to 1994. He was in charge of a center-right coalition government by Swedish standards. Bildt served as Minister for Foreign Affairs between 2006 and 2014 in the center-right coalition of PM Fredrik Reinfeldt. These governments also continued mass immigration, just as the Socialist Prime Ministers Olof Palme, Ingvar Carlsson, Göran Persson and Stefan Löfven did.

The Swedish author Astrid Lindgren published the first stories about Pippi Longstocking in the 1940s. If they were updated for today, perhaps Pippi would have to flee from the suburbs of a Swedish city after having been gang raped by immigrant boys. Alternatively, she might have been a radical Feminist who donned the Islamic veil in order to express her solidarity with the Muslims who are colonizing her country.

The Swedish mass media and political elites are very careful not to suggest any connection between rapes and mass immigration from Third World countries. Yet there is every reason to suspect that such a connection exists. We know from other Western European countries that immigrants from certain regions and cultures, particularly from the Islamic world and Africa, are disproportionately represented as perpetrators in rape cases.

In 2005, the ethnologist Maria Bäckman in her study “Whiteness and gender” followed a group of ethnic Swedish girls in the suburb of Rinkeby near Stockholm. Here, natives are now a minority of the inhabitants due to mass immigration. Several natural blondes stated that they had dyed their hair to avoid unwanted attention and sexual harassment. Being called “whore” is so common for white girls in certain schools that teachers no longer react to this.[4] The problem certainly hasn’t become smaller in the years that have passed since then.

Suggesting that the ongoing rise in violent crime might have something to do with mass immigration of alien and aggressive cultures may cause you to be legally prosecuted. In March 2007 during a rally supported by SSU, the Social Democratic Youth League, a man carried a sign reading, “While Swedish girls are being gang raped by immigrant gangs the SSU is fighting racism.” He was promptly arrested and later sentenced to a fine. His crime? He had “expressed disrespect for a group of people with reference to their national or ethnic background.” The local court rejected the man’s free speech argument because even free speech has its limits, and he had clearly acted in too provocative a manner.[5]

Expressing disrespect for Europeans and their culture seems to be fine, though. This is not merely allowed, but actively encouraged. Fredrik Reinfeldt, Sweden’s allegedly conservative Prime Minister from 2006 to 2014, has stated that the original Swedish culture was merely barbarism; everything good was imported from abroad.[6]

If a leading politician had said that African, Asian or Islamic culture was “merely barbarism,” there would have been a huge public outcry and calls for his immediate resignation due to “racism.” His career might have been over. Yet disrespecting and mocking the traditions of the majority population is apparently no problem.

This phenomenon seems to exist in all Western countries with a white majority population, and there only. Europeans alone are supposed to denigrate their own culture and give away their country to outsiders.

Multiculturalism is an anti-European ideology. Under the seductive and misleading slogans of “diversity” and “tolerance,” it entails unilaterally dissolving European nations and their distinct identities. This can only be presented as something positive if you think Europeans and their culture are either worthless or just plain evil.

Not just car fires but even arson against schools has become disturbingly common in parts of Sweden. In neighboring Denmark, firemen in 2013 warned that they risk being attacked by stones, ambushes and petrol bombs if they simply try to do their job in certain immigrant-dominated areas. The worst are suburbs in certain cities such as Tingbjerg in Copenhagen, Vollsmose in Odense and Gellerup in Aarhus.

The Danish fireman Jesper Bronée recalls how shocking it was for him when he first experienced that people were throwing stones at him while he was working. “ It’s scary. We’re out there to save lives, and that is what our minds are focused on. That we are then suddenly attacked is something totally alien to our culture.”[7]

Malmö is Sweden’s third-largest city. It is set to become the first Scandinavian town with a Muslim majority population. In recent years, it has achieved a certain notoriety for its crime problems.

The wave of robberies the city has witnessed is part of a “ war against Swedes.”[8] This was the explanation given by young robbers with immigrant background on why they are robbing native Swedes. In 2006 the sociologist Petra Åkesson interviewed boys between 15 and 17 years old, both individually and in groups. “When we are in the city and robbing, we are waging a war, waging a war against the Swedes.” This argument was repeated several times. “Power for me means that Swedes shall look at me, lie down on the ground and kiss my feet.” The boys explained, laughingly, that “We rob every single day, as much as we want to, whenever we want to.”[9]

In May 2012, Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt faced a storm of criticism after using the term “ethnic Swedes.” He was responding to a question about Sweden’s high level of unemployment.[10] The outcry came because he dared to refer to Swedes as a particular ethnic group. The official mantra is that a “Swede” is everybody who happens to reside on Swedish soil. The Somali family who came there last year is just as “Swedish” as those whose ancestors have lived in the country since prehistoric times.

Yet as we have just seen, immigrants are perfectly capable of recognizing “Swedes” as a distinct group when they harass or assault them in the streets. Swedes are therefore attacked as an ethnic group, but they are aggressively barred from identifying and defending themselves as a group of people with a shared heritage and shared interests. So are the English, the French, the Germans, the Dutch and the Italians.

The belief of the Western ruling elites seems to be that a country is simply an empty bowl, just waiting to be filled with shopping and human rights under their enlightened leadership.

Displacing the Tibetans in Tibet is seen as evil by Western governments. Displacing the Germans from Germany, the Finns from Finland, the Danes from Denmark or the Scots from Scotland is cheered and encouraged by the same people. Ethnically displacing Europeans is the trend of the day.

Already today, London has become minority white. And many of the whites who are there are white South Africans, Poles, Russians and other Europeans. It is becoming increasingly difficult to find an actual Englishman in the English capital city. Likewise, in the outskirts of Paris, it is challenging to find an ethnic Frenchman in the French capital city. The globalist ruling elites seem happy with this development.

Stockholm syndrome” is a psychological term referring to people who express positive feelings for persons who capture or abuse them. It was introduced after a 1973 bank robbery and hostage crisis in Stockholm.[11] Some of the victims began to show sympathy with their hostage-takers. Today, much of Sweden seems to suffer from a kind of Stockholm syndrome in relation to Muslims and others who colonize and abuse them.

The writer Eva Agnete Selsing believes that “Sweden is the Evil Empire.”[12] She is referring to a new kind of totalitarianism and Utopian ideology of open borders. In her view, the explosive cocktail of extreme political correctness and rampant mass immigration is creating a “catastrophe” in Swedish society. The ruthless authoritarian suppression of dissent imposed by the ruling elites and the media establishment has transformed Sweden almost into a “prison of the mind.” We are finally seeing some cracks in this wall of censorship.

The phrase “the Evil Empire” was applied to the Communist dictatorship of the Soviet Union in 1983 by the conservative U.S. President Ronald Reagan. Reagan felt that he had no choice but to define the Communist system as evil, due to its repressive nature and the huge amount of human suffering it caused.

In May 2013, major riots erupted at the outskirts of Stockholm.[13] The riots began in the immigrant-dominated suburb of Husby, but quickly spread to other suburbs such as Rinkeby, Tensta, Kista and the town of Södertälje south of Stockholm.[14] Night after night, rioting immigrants left images of broken windows, burnt walls and scorched car parks. Cars were torched and several schools and a police station were set ablaze.[15] The police and the firefighters who came to the scene were often pelted with stones.

One of these violent Stockholm suburbs was Fittja, where in April 2013 Muslims had received permission to broadcast Islamic calls to prayer for the first time in Swedish history.[16] They were so grateful for this that they responded with car burnings a few weeks later. Some of the rioters shouted “Allahu akbar!”

In 1972, the Swedish popular music group ABBA was formed in Stockholm. They went on to sell hundreds of millions of records throughout the world. Among their international hit songs were “Waterloo,” “SOS,” “Dancing Queen” and “Money, Money, Money.” In 2013, a museum dedicated to the famous pop quartet was opened in the Swedish capital city, with its beautiful harbor views of the Stockholm archipelago.

In the Stockholm suburb of Rinkeby, an Australian news team from 60 Minutes were physically attacked in 2016.[17] So were journalists from Norway’s state broadcaster NRK. The police admitted that they are losing control over the area.[18] On February 20, 2017, a Swedish news photographer was hospitalized after being assaulted by 15 people in Rinkeby. He was there to report on riots.[19] Locals had once again been burning cars and throwing stones at the police. Clearly, some Muslims view this as their territory, not Swedish territory.

In just a few decades, Sweden has gone from ABBA to Allah. It has not been an improvement.

68 thoughts on “Sweden: From ABBA to Allah

  1. Their prosperity is the source of their troubles. People will tolerate a lot as long as they are getting their cut of the loot, and wealth in great quantities always attracts the crows. What will the nafris and muzzies do when they have killed the goose that laid the golden egg? I doubt they will stay around because of the nice winters…

    • What will they do when they have killed the goose that laid the golden egg?

      The money is already running out, Swedes are being told higher taxation is in the mill to keep the ‘migrants’ in the manner to which they have become accustomed. Meanwhile neighbouring Norwegians are viewing the whole scene with extreme apprehension–they have a very long undefended border with Sweden…

      • “The money is already running out, Swedes are being told higher taxation is in the mill to keep the ‘migrants’ in the manner to which they have become accustomed.”

        Yes and the elite structure will bleed the populace white whilst ensuring their loot is safely offshore for when they have to leave the sinking ship. They will be found.

        They feel so secure yet seem insight-less that they are playing with a white hot fire.

        The trials will take years.

        At least they will get a say in that process (possibly) unlike the people whom they have violated with their world view.

  2. Swedes think that they ate not human; they are gods. They don’t have to worry about mundane things like land, water, and who owns what.
    As David Yeagley pointed out, this serenity is false and is not ours as humans to claim. If we want to pretend we are above it all it is because we are blinded, not gifted with superior sight.
    Sweden will have to learn to live with a diminished land mass they can call their own, a diminished economy, and crippled society. Forever.
    Bad, really bad.

  3. David Yeagley – for those who don’t know- is gone but he was a Commanche / German composer and writer. His conservative views on immigration stem from his own reflections on the American Indian experience of loss.

    • The liberal/progressive view on this in colonised countries tends to be ‘serves whites right for colonising.’ Often whites themselves saying this, so consideration of what it means for their descendants.

  4. It happened so that one if my first training courses in a certain specialty was in Sweden in 1992. Coming from a “communist” country I was immensely impressed by the wealth and cohesion of Swedish society. But even then… i remember a gang of dark skinned teenagers neighing loudly and drunking beer from cans as they passed the center of Sigtuna. One if the guys threw his empty can behind his back just like a bride throws the flowers at a wedding… behind these guys were a Swedish mother walking with her 4 or 5 years old kid and this small boy without any sign or word from his mom got the empty can from the ground and discarded it properly in a thrash can. It was amazing, this level of social integration in a white child keeping his street clean. But it was also disturbing, I somehow felt the invasion of the enrichers…

  5. Sweden is essentially a large cult.

    Seriously, compare it to the collective suicide at Jonestown.
    Not that different, just a longer time-frame.

  6. Muslims comprise less than 10 per cent of the population of Sweden, yet they can already capture the State.

  7. If Swedes are ever to re-take their country it has to be the people who do it, and if that happens, the police will have a huge decision to make; go with the people, or the traitorous ‘leaders’.

    And what of the military? If they still have one.

  8. And the biggest surprise will be, when Sweden’s city dwellers discover that most of Sweden is outdoor with guns 😉

    That is why Im not really worried for Sweden.

  9. THANKS TO DONALD TRUMP AND THE RUSSIAN TV1
    THE SWEDISH “SECRET” HAS BEEN REVEALED

    Russian television portrays multicultural Malmö.
    — Particularly representative footage —

    In an element on the Russian TV channel TV1 Sweden was visited
    and Malmö is scrutinized and described as a city invaded by Muslims and well on its way to collapse. Unfortunately, there is no Swedish or English text.

    Both from East and West come reports on the multicultural wreckage in Sweden, which has become the whole world’s shocking example of what happens when political correctness run amok and idiotic “goodness values” and boasting in the country’s constitution of being a multicultural society (since 1975) goes before evrything, combined witha unrestrained and uncontrolled mass immigration from the Middle East and Sub Sahara.

    TV1 is Russia’s largest and one of the country’s three national TV channels. It can be watched by about 250 million people worldwide.

  10. I am curious what others think about the role cultural Christianity has played in the Swedes’ cultural confusion and decline.

      • The Swedes employed a lot of mercenaries; oftentimes Catholic mercenaries who switched sides when up against other Catholics. The Swedes would then have to trudge back to their reserve lines and massacre whatever bought-and-paid-for Catholics were left.

        It will be so cool when all those mu[slim]s are “integrated” and have access to all the arms and training. I can see the factions and the infighting. By then that’s all the Swedes may be. A faction. The west is brain dead right now. At least go down fighting. […]

        • Well, and someone else might say: The Swedish Army at the end of the 30 year war was full of refugees from formerly protestant nations like Bohemia – i.e. full of people who were genocided and expelled from their countries by a “recatolisation by force”.

          As for me, the battle cry of the Swedes was “For Jesus”, while the battle cry of the catholic league was “For Mary”. That settles my fancies for me because I don’t pray to Mary 😉

      • That might be true if the general religious decline were limited to Sweden, but it’s western-wide.

        The center of gravity for the Christian churches has moved to Africa and China.

        Authentic Christianity isn’t meant for the comfortable; it thrives in a climate of persecution. Always has, always will.

        • You are right. But I think that in the Scandinavian nations the hard-core Christian morality of old is still present, but from my experience with the Swedes – they don’t recognize it for what it is, because it is not politically correct these days to say “I am a Christian”, nor do they see the connections because they no longer read the Bible…

          Scandinavia might be always behind the rest of Europe – last one to be “christinized”, and last one to be “dechristinized”. But that is just my theory.

    • What I have ever read here in GofV is that Sweden Church is linked with the main political parties which rule the country. The SC does what they order. There would not be a particular christianity culture by its church but just a cultural environment created by the political parties.

        • Oh, please. Not another hi-jacked thread.

          I should join the “Adopt an Atheist/Humanist” club. But no Atheists/Animals clubs, like the one in the Netherlands.

  11. I clicked on the donate to Fjordman button. Unfortunately it took me to a paypal page in Swedish.Can we have a link to an English language paypal page instead ?

    • That’s Norwegian. Fjordman and I worked on it, trying to get it to display in English, and we couldn’t do it. Somehow PayPal knows that he is Norwegian — by reading his brain waves, maybe, with the help of Google and NSA? — and forces the PayPal page to display in Norwegian.

    • That’s curious. I tried this morning from home, and got a similar result- in fact, I couldn’t even log into my paypal account. Then I tried again from my office, but was signed into Paypal when I did it. This time, if connected to my Paypal account, in English.

  12. This was very sad and bad reading. While I feel sorry for the average Swede, I am aware they brought this on themselves. It is not really smart to be this idealistic. One has to look at the world with eyes wide open and see what is happening, not stick to those pretensioins that all people are good. They are not.

    I will send you (GOV) a donation earmarked for Fjordman. He does very good work.

  13. The Newspapers in Sweden are owned by the Bonnier Family.

    Once you let in such nomadic trash you can look forward to further Enrichment.

    • To other readers: This is a reference to the fact that the Bonnier family is Jewish. I recognize what Director means by saying this, although he may have expected to slip this one by me.

      WARNING: His comment and my response do NOT constitute permission for another Jew-fight to start. I’m sick of those, and I’m not having any more of them.

      • Which is why I no longer read or contribute financially to your site. Other than this article I got from Twitter after reading about the Swedish riots. You think all Jews are liberal Dumbocrats. I also never mention your website any longer on my blog or yahoo posts (I have 5000 of those)

        • Well, big woo! Aren’t you the he-man?

          The size of your prodigious manly implement puts our pathetic vermicule to shame. I must crawl back into my fetid burrow and hide from the overwhelming force of your obloquy.

  14. Swedes are now staring into the heart of darkness, brought to them largely by the migrants they have allowed in. Presumably they don’t like what they see, although elites may not care about passengers in commuter trains, as they prefer Volvos.

    But to a disturbing degree, Swedes were quite indifferent when other people- viz. Jews and Israelis- faced that same evil. Many Swedes directed their animus to the victim. Part of me responds to such a complicit, compromised society with, “stew in your own juices”.

  15. Who is driving the multi-culti suicide/genocide across the Western world?
    We know the following:

    1. It is a group with a presence in every Western country
    2. They occupy positions of power and influence
    3. They are loyal only to themselves.

    Who could that be?

      • No group is unified. There are good and bad. Some are reaching out to white people as they are in a symbiotic relationship. Most are fanatics and their hate clouds their reason. Hating even to their own destruction.

        Those that change direction should be welcomed but all should be revealed.

    • I have to make a general observation here.

      The mystery is why perfectly good countries and cultures such as Sweden, Germany, England, and Holland, are literally committing suicide by importing hoards of unassimilable, low-IQ, violent, largely Muslim refuse from Africa and Asia. There have been many attempts to explain it, including some deep analyses here at GoV. But, in the end, it’s like quantum mechanics: you can describe the effect with high precision, but there is no explanation for it. It simply is.

      Whatever you want to say about Jews, bringing in hoards of Muslims is directly counter to their self-interest. Jews are having to leave France and Sweden because of being targeted by Muslim street thugs. Jewish community centers and synagogues in the US and Canada are already under special protection.

      So, the Jewish inclination to import Muslims is exactly the same trend as the countries I mentioned: they are acting directly counter to their own self-interest. Whatever the influence of the Jewish community, which can be debated, the more they succeed in bringing in Muslims, they more violent, unstable, and unlivable their (the Jews) own living conditions become.

      It’s like a class of mathematical problems classified as “NP Complete”. The defining characteristic of these problems is that if you solve one problem, you’ve solved them all. But, nobody has ever solved one, or proven they cannot be solved.

      This is exactly analogous to the question of why a successful, prosperous country, society, or identity group would self-destruct knowingly, over time, with the evidence of the consequences clearly available. If you can give a definitive answer for one such group, you have a pretty fair shot at understanding the whole phenomenon. But, we’re not there.

      So, Jews simply represent one component of the general mystery. They are not unique in any sense for their self-destructive impulses. The Pope, the Church of Christ, the United Methodist Church, the Mennonite church, the Congressional Black Caucus…all are pursuing courses clearly self-destructive to their constituencies.

      I’ll go further and say those who focus solely on Jewish groups to explain the suicide of the West are themselves pursuing a self-destructive course. They ignore the massive rush to suicide by the entire leadership of the west to focus on a single component.

  16. I bring a different perspective.

    Most writers, including Fjordman, seem to think that the native Swedes today are the same as those of 100 or 150 years ago, and that it is bad ideas, the collective pressure on thinking, and cultural Marxism which has made Sweden so vulnerable to the immigrant invasion.

    But, is it a coincidence that Sweden has not had a serious war in centuries, and that it is one of the oldest and (in the past) wealthiest welfare states in the world? By the way, the totalitarian thought-pressure in Sweden is not new at all, as recounted in “The New Totalitarians”, by Roland Huntford in 1972.
    https://www.amazon.com/new-totalitarians-Roland-Huntford/dp/0812814088/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1487782125&sr=8-1&keywords=the+new+totalitarians

    http://eindtijdinbeeld.nl/EiB-Bibliotheek/Boeken/The_New_Totalitarians__Brave_New_Sweden___1980_.pdf

    In my opinion, and I have no credentials, it was exactly the welfare state that resulted in the deterioration of the Swedish population. There was literally no Darwinian pressure on the population to maintain traits such as assertiveness, aggression, courage, obnoxious persistence: all the traits we associate with billionaire entrepreneur Donald Trump. The Swedish population deteriorated to a mass of relatively pleasant Eloi, under the thumb of the Morlock bureaucrats.

    If you give credence to this point of view, you will not assume that underneath the compliant Swedes, there are the warriors of King Gustav, waiting to dig out their guns and expel the invaders. The Swedes are who they are, and if they have been bowing their heads as compliant victims, there is no reason to think they won’t continue in that stance.

    It is instructive that the countries most inherently resistant to not only the Muslim and African hoards, but the Morlocks of the EU bureaucracy, are the recently-socialist East European countries like Hungary, just freed from control by the defunct USSR. Being a socialist state emphatically does not mean a welfare state. Socialism is a junk science economic theory, and a country under socialism has nothing to redistribute. But, funny enough, socialism creates a Darwinian environment where one has to be tough to survive and raise children.

    It has happened before. Republican Rome underwent the deterioration of its independent tenant farmers, due to vast economic changes associated with its status of being an empire. Rome never recovered. The details can be found in this work:
    https://www.amazon.com/Law-Civilization-Decay-History-Classic/dp/1330596188
    https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Law_of_Civilization_and_Decay/Chapter_I

    The problem is more complex than simply selecting for IQ. You can have high IQ along with lack of courage, conviction, morals and assertiveness. I believe the problem is solvable, but not through the direct intervention of government.

    Am I a eugenicist? Most certainly if you mean someone who thinks that genetic differences are real, and that the quality of the population can and should be consciously affected. No, if you mean someone who thinks there should be a government agency that makes the decisions concerning the population.

    • And speaking of “courage, conviction, morals and assertiveness,” what about the possibility that a significant proportion of Swedes with those characteristics left the country during the waves of emigration between ~1850 and 1920? My own paternal grandparents came to America from Sweden in the late 1910s, little more than teenagers. In other words, anyone with any get-up-and-go got up and went. And, lucky for us, they came to the U.S.

    The Unveiled Truth About Swedish Immigration by Paul Joseph Watson

    https://youtu.be/kPtNON6sHXw

    “Trump is right. Mass immigration has ruined Sweden.
    Isn’t it strange how all the leftists who mocked Trump about his “last night in Sweden” quote are suddenly so quiet about what happened…..last night in Sweden? :-D”

  18. “I think that’s what makes many Swedes jealous of immigrant groups. You have a culture, an identity, a history, something that brings you together. And what do we have? We have Midsummer’s Eve and such silly things. ”

    “But that has nothing to do with ethnicity. Who’s by the way Swedish and who’s an immigrant? ”

    Mona Sahlin, former leader of the SDP https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Mona_Sahlin

    – The politicians and the media are the real problem. They are a bigger problem than the Muhammadans.
    – Perhaps you could have also mentioned the skewed sex ratio in Sweden due to the invasion. This is going to be a serious problem.

  19. The main cause of this negative transformation is” Swedish progressives. That includes most of the population, as they voted in government after government with a policy of open immigration.

    American Progressives invariably praised Sweden as the example proving the their vision of government control. We see the unanticipated result: a population so infantilized by a tradition of cradle-to-grave government care that they have lost the ability to stand up for themselves, and even to think independently.

    The story of modern Sweden is denial, betrayal, and civil treason.

    There are apparently a few adult Swedes left. They are speaking out. The choice is war or whimper for Sweden. I hope they choose war.

  20. “Isn’t it strange how all the leftists who mocked Trump about his “last night in Sweden” quote are suddenly so quiet about what happened…..last night in Sweden? :-D”

    This points to my question: Is the mainstream media reporting on any of this? The average person watches the local news or CNN,NBC,CBS, etc. If they are suddenly quiet about it, does this mean that it is not being widely reported? (Of course some commentators on Fox News will report it).

  21. there is nothing happening in Sweden that your leftist politicians didn’t plan on. there are no unintended leftist consequences. it is a Marxist’s job to destroy the existing order.
    how did those cradle to the grave benefits work out for the childless Swedish families? one of the paradoxes of socialism, who is going to work to pay for your benefits when you don’t have any children. the communists knew, the so-called immigrants. the immigrants said screw you i’m not working i’m taking your benefits, then I taking your country. it look like the muslims will be ushering in a new dark ages in Europe.

    • I think you’re confusing socialism with a welfare state. They are not necessarily the same. Socialism/Communism is about power: who gets to direct businesses, organizations, and individuals. The welfare state is about redistribution. A truly socialist state simply doesn’t have anything to redistribute.

      The question is, how is, or was, Sweden, a clearly socialist state edging towards authoritarianism, prosperous? My personal opinion is that Sweden is like the profligate son of the millionaire businessman. He lives in luxury, but he’s spending his capital and his inheritance will be entirely used up in a few years. Sweden is spending its undeserved capital without replacing it: the lingering work ethic of the native Swedes and the businesses that were begun before the heavy hand of bureaucracy entirely suppressed individual initiative.

      • “the welfare state is about redistribution” redistribution of what? money taken from people that worked for and earned it to people that didn’t work for it or earn so you can insulate your self in power permanently? how can you redistribute wealth to people that never had it in the first place. the welfare state is about establishing a government with the power to tyrannize its citizens. socialism is the economic system to accomplish it. every dictatorship in history has had some form of a socialist economy. one in which the worker has no right to the fruits of their labor and the ruling class has the power to take as much or all of the workers income that they want.

      • Sweden was, in some ways, an ideal (to some) mixture of capitalism and socialism. They produced enough goods that they and other people wanted, to generate a surplus, and paid heavy taxes (second highest in Europe after Denmark).

        In return, the state looked after them from cradle to grave. The system was perfectly sound (even if it wouldn’t be the ideal for some here!) until they started importing refugees/migrants, many of whom could/would not contribute.

  22. Swedish elite in denial of Muslim mayhem in Sweden?….. It’s ironic isn’t it….? Swedes suffering from Stockholm syndrome…

    In the words of ABBA “…. May we all have our hopes, our will to try
    If we don’t we might as well lay down and die
    You and I…”
    Not only Swedes but the whole of Europe nay the whole of the civilized west has lost hope….

  23. Do not forget carl bildts massive cover up about the terrible M/S Estonia catastrophe when he was prime minister 1994. Nearly 900 dead and carl bildt acts as the criminal he is and covers it all up. Today we know that the Swedish government with said carl bildt as prime minister was transporting military equipment on M/S Estoniacoming from the fallen Soviet Union. The military equipment was probably headed to the US with Sweden as transit land. This was a huge failure because international laws demands that no military equipment is allowed to be transported on civilian ferries and in this case nearly 900 innocent civilians lost their lives.

    Do not also forget this scum carl bildts actions during the balkan conflict where he supported the muslims in the conflict. There is suspicions that carl bildt was the one allowing us and iran to air drop weapons to the muslims terrorists which resulted in a much more terrible and prolonged conflict. He has also been on the board for Lundin Oil a Swedish oil company with very poor reputation.

    In short, carl bildt is the face of a corrupt politician, a criminal and he should be faced with the consequences of his action.

  24. I do agree with everything said except: “The main cause of this negative transformation is non-European mass immigration.” You cannot include citizens from other nations like USA or Brazil, for example, in the same context. We have to be honest and expose the focus of the problem: Islam. Islam is the “religion” that preaches hate against western values. And Islam is the religion of Asian and North African migrants. I do live in Europe and would not have a problem to open the gates for Chileans or Japanese, for example. The problem nowadays is that is very difficult for you to migrate to Europe if you are not coming from a Muslim country. It seems there is a secret plan for the Islamization of Europe.

    • Well said: Islam as a “religion”.

      But the islamization of Europe was never a secret- see Bat Ye’or’s explanation about the planned Arab-Euro axis. “Planned” by the unelected, unaccountable EU elite hoping to eclipse U.S. hegemony.

      There hasn’t been a MASS immigration of North or South Americans to Europe. If there were, they’d be resented, just as 3rd world Mexicans are in our southwest areas.

      Please be brave enough to stop using the euphemism of “Asian” to designate migrants from the Indian sub-continent. Asians look quite different and have a distinct culture.
