The kind of class solidarity I can only dream of as a yank
Solidarity

There are three battles wise men know not to fight:
- A land war in Asia
- The Finns in winter
- Swedish Unions
For context: Finns won war against entire USSR.
Nope. They lost, but inflicted heavy casualties
Worker solidarity is lovely to see. Good luck Sweden!
This is what happens when capitalism tries to fight with democracy. If government fucks over citizens, then citizens ignore government, but if government represents and helps citizens, citizens will do “Tesla, fuck you!”.
EDIT: or when unions work.
funny choice of an image because that guy and his product got completely fucked by capitalism. that’s why he’s so pissed off here.
How exactly did Linux get fucked by capitalism?
This image is of Linus torvalds giving nvidia the middle finger because they are absolutely terrible to work with, money aside.
Waiting for the “damn commies” comments.
If The Swedes are commies then just call me Comradesson!

Please let it spread
Good
I find it fascinating that they have no legislation about workers rights. I am curious if any Swedes could inform me how the “conservative” style movements are doing in Sweden.
Well, I guess I have two thoughts on that. For one, what you’re probably thinking of is seen as basically qanon freaks. The other is that of course there’s a political right, and of course there is a social conservative current.
The right has traditionally been a coalition of liberals and conservatives, but the Christian conservatives are actually Christian. (They command a certain degree of respect, even though I don’t agree)
As for the social conservatives, they’re to a large degree absorbed by either the traditional social democrats (or “total autocrats” as I like to call them) or the nazis.
The WHAT?
Yes. The left was so busy suppressing racism (real) that they made it basically impossible to have adult conversation about the problems inherent in eliminating low-education jobs and, at the same time, accepting a lot of illiterate refugees. And as the reality of taking from the middle class boomers (who strongly identify as working class) to fund the result, the nazis were there, and they’re scary huge now.
Idk, there’s a lot to unpack and explain here, and I’m sure others have other angles, so I’ll leave it at that.
Sweden has plenty of legislation about workers rights, this conflict has more to do with employee benefits and the unions right to represent their members.
Teslas in Sweden are probably going to have a lot of flat tires in the near future.

conservative employers.
Depending on location and time, conservative might mean literal communists.
Or caveman, depending on how far back they want to conserve.
Oh, you mean a mass movement of anarcho-communist activism would slash the tires of private cars?
No.
It’s even wilder. This is just normal people having a union.
It’s Sweden, not France
