Anyone who has any idea on how to react on this?
----
Some scandals have chaken the Swedish left. Feminists who has worked into the goverment without any real positive results for the feminist agenda(surprise!) started a breakoutgroup and a feminist-party has even been debated. Members of parties who are feed up with their parties neoliberal ideas has also shown intrest for starting a new party or at least change the way Vänsterpartiet( the Swedish left party, smaller than the bigger more reformative social-democratic party) is going. The spokesperson for Vänster partiet has also refused to stop calling himself communist and an documentary that showed that there is still people in the party that is pro-authorian communism has made the party worried after the scandal that this documentary created. The fact that many (exspecially young)people on the left in Sweden works in autonomous groups but dont vote has also been noticed by the parlamentalists.
When the workgroup for a new left in Sweden called Vägval Vänster*(that might turn into a party)had its first meeting they invited one ex-editor of the Syndicalist paper Arbetaren(she was also invited as a represantative for the new feminist movement). That created a spectacular scene when she took up issues that has been more or less avoided in the debate between politicians. The whole debate was sended directly on public TV
After a debate between her and a member of the green party parlamentarists and syndicalists entered the stage all of them talking in positive words about libertian socialism and syndicalism. They also invited a 17-year woman who participated in the debate to join the party.
Vägvalvänster has earlier seemed to turn into a more neoliberal version of Vänsterpartiet. It would be good to know now if there could be a serious atemp from this network/party to work together with libertian socialists/anarchists. They might also have sudenly started to talk about working with the new left to make them pacive while they modernise the swedish left into another neoliberal party.
Anyone who nows about anything like this that has happened before? Has it happened in your country? What should we do? An anarchist revolution demands after all a spontanous uprising of the masses, so being able to reach people this way might not only be bad. Please reply to this news post.
