My ticket was totally bogus. It was a one-way street. I was going one way.

For any voter or normal citizen in the kingdom of Sweden there’s a healthy discontent towards officials. It may seem strange that a people continuously voting for more and bigger government do despise authority, but there are two factors making this a reality.

Firstly Swedes are inherently conservative in the sense that they don’t really want to change anything. The slowly growing expansion of the welfare-state have pacified people and made any change of this way of life into an ‘enemy’, more so then any Government intrusiveness.

Secondly we’ve had hundred and fifty years of pretty good officials. And with this I mean in comparison with most other countries Swedish politicians has been honest, they’ve actually wanted what’s best for the country and mostly adjusted the system in accordance to the general opinion. The later isn’t always a good thing, but my point being is that generally speaking we’ve been lucky with our representation.
During the late 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century Sweden had a very (neo)liberal structure and several ministers that made the country fantastic comes to investments, inventions and growth. Almost all of the big well-known Swedish companies were formed during this period, laying the groundwork for riches in the future.

Sadly the Social Democrats soon took power and injected shot after shot of socialism, but mostly you need to admit that they handled things in a pretty good way. Sure things would have been much better with other governance, but with people sprung forth from the common man and with a genuine belief in democracy and being very honest in their ways things still wasn’t so bad. They rarely injected more socialism then the country could handle and the market economy was allowed to grow.

I don’t really know when it happened, but somewhere around the 60’s things started to go south. Maybe the re-occurring shots of leftie policies had gone too far, maybe the rest of the world did catch up after two world wars, maybe it was a combination of things. But the real change came in the way the elitists started to behave. More and more social democrats (and other political parties) became detached from reality. The spokespersons and the elected officials became more and more like ancient time’s aristocracy, becoming more of elevated authorities rather than representatives of the people.

Today the political parties in Sweden are not only very similar in form and beliefs, they, all of them, also consists of career politicians, parliamentarian wannabes and kiss ass growlers that do anything to walk the halls of power. Like in most democracies Sweden is now run by an elitist class which is highly entwined with other elitists from business and media, making any sort of opposition to this authoritarian group very hard.

Today we have a sort of fascist governance with tentacles everywhere controlling everything from the cradle to the grave.

One upshot we can see is that many have come to realize how shadowy this structure really is. Take the internet generation for example. One or perhaps two generation of people growing up with internet and all the possibilities of the information-age are today hunted down like rabid animals. Police are storming into people’s homes because they’ve downloaded a couple of songs. Grandmas are ending up on Security watch-lists because they happened to Google after Hitler. Entire companies or potential companies are shut down and facing criminal charges for what millions of normal citizens regard as non-crimes. As a consequence the Pirate Party has emerged.

Another upshot is that more and more people have come to understand that the real fight today isn’t between left and right, it’s not between traditional socialists and traditional conservatives. Instead the actual fight is between the elitists of the ruling class and the common man. In this fight I find myself arguing together with and standing side by side with true socialists and anarchists. Having grown up during the cold war, this is a very strange feeling.

The downside is that people still refuse to understand that it doesn’t matter who they vote for. It is all the same. Do you really think there’s that much of a difference between a couple of percentage of taxation up or down? Do you really think it really matters, seen to the power structure, on what party will win any general election? And even if you do, why don’t you at least recognize that the European Union nowadays controls most of our laws and way of life?

But the real downside is how oblivious people are comes to how our economy works.

For some reason almost all citizens of Sweden are very upset over too high taxation comes to gasoline, electricity and groceries but they hardly never go out and to do something about it. Worse still is how our banking system works. From the hard working man’s pockets money is streaming to this banking- and money hoax filled with rich banksters and fraudulent tricksters.

And inflation? Why oh why don’t more of you out there read about and understand this second biggest scam of all time? I promise you all, and there’s no doubt in my mind about this, that if you really knew how they trick, dupe and steal from you through our banking system and through inflation you would all be out on the streets stringing up economists and politicians in lamp-posts. No question about it.

However, the game is soon up.

You see, they cannot steal anymore; the people have reached their limits on how much they can and are willing to pay. And since this continues hoax is dependent on an ever expansion of the stealing, it cannot be sustained anymore.

But for the elitists, the enemy class, even worse things are on the horizon.

Our producing capacity is actually going down. Wealth needs to be produced, no matter what system and no matter if you believe in socialism or capitalism; this is always true; wealth needs to be produced. And since our economy more and more is built on borrowing-and-spending rather than produce and then - maybe - buy, we have a situation that cannot hold very long. Consumption is the main driving-force behind our economy today with 50-60-70 percent or, in the US-example, even over 70% of the economy is consumer-based.

Without a constant stream of magnificent inventions increasing our productive capacity this make the situation impossible to withstand the test of time.
But it doesn’t end there either. Our elitists have other tricks up their sleeves. They can borrow from other countries or even their own inhabitants to enhance or withhold the scam. This too has reached its limit. They cannot do this anymore without going too far.

Basically they’ve run out of options, and it is here the depression will set in.
I could go over all the economic figures, but I’ve done so in other posts, what you need to know is that the enemy class has reached the end of the line. There’s nothing more to do then to either print a shit-load of money and then hope or pray for divine intervention or pull the brake and go back to a freer state of living which means they would lose power and influence. You can probably guess which road they will choose.

Whatever the cause of action will be or how severe our future economic calamities will be, we will see a change in the way of governance and economics, and it is not so far off as you may think. As many other economists I believe that the crash and burn will happen soon and I for one think it is a good thing.

The question is; what happens after? Will Swedes back to our libertarian ways we had during the turn of the 19th and 20th century or will there be a socialist upheaval plunging us further into darkness?

Either way I urge you all to start reading about inflation, fractional banking and try to understand how the enemy class rules us. It is too late to stop the Mother of all depression that is lurking around the corner, but if you understand at least we can rebuild afterwards with the intent to never let it happen again.

Comes any general election, I want you to think very hard about were your ballot goes. And even if you fall for the scam of the right-left paradigm, at least consider punishing the elitists with a vote that goes towards the smaller, newer parties.

I don’t vote myself, haven’t in many years since I figured out how things really work, but if I would vote I would cast it on the Pirate Party or some “racist” party. Not that I really like those, I don’t, but at least they haven’t yet got caught up in the elitists agenda and another Fuck You in the face of those established ones always seem like a good idea.

  1. I think your blog is truly read-worthy and I'm glad to have found yet another person with a sound economical insight based on the true merits of capitalism.

    I'm also impressed by the fact that you manage to produce so many posts per unit of time that it makes me wonder if you have a day job...

    Anyway, I can't help to ask what the hell you are thinking when you write stuff like this;

    "Secondly we’ve had hundred and fifty years of pretty good officials. And with this I mean in comparison with most other countries Swedish politicians has been honest, they’ve actually wanted what’s best for the country and mostly adjusted the system in accordance to the general opinion."

    I understand that you have a relative perspective on the issue but I hope you are aware of the following;

    Politics and politicians have been corrupt and/or ignorant (thinking they do others good) since the idea of representative government emerged. Politicians all compete on a market where popularity and deception pay off, not merit, competence and honesty.
    Even if the "right people" were in charge (as in constituting a monopoly of force applying to all but maybe themselves)they could add nothing but infringements of liberties to the free market.
    Furthermore, politicians have always had means of, in large, manipulating the general opinion with propaganda and indoctrination. Thus this last claim is only valid to some degree.

    Moving on...

    "During the late 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century Sweden had a very (neo)liberal structure and several ministers that made the country fantastic comes to investments, inventions and growth. Almost all of the big well-known Swedish companies were formed during this period, laying the groundwork for riches in the future."

    This may be true but the same can be said of any parasite that loosens its grip, and should not be accredited the politicians but to capitalism (which I'm sure you already know).

    Well, now that I've blasted some open doors in, I guess I'm gonna continue reading your blog without being such a pain in the ass.

  2. Actually I have a job and much to do, but my hours are flexible so sometimes I write a lot and sometimes hardly anything.

    When it comes to your points I sort of agree. As you probably realize I wasn’t looking to elevate any politicians, I am only stating that in comparison with many other countries Sweden have been sort of lucky, ours have only been bad, not horrible, only half-idiots not complete morons.

    If Sweden would have had the politicians of Italy or Turkey or some sort, my birth-nation would have been a far worse place today. And the system the social democrats have created opens up for a lot of manipulation and outright dictatorial regimes, we haven’t had those, not completely anyway.

    Maybe I should have looked over the phrasing, but I think you get my point.

    And thank you for you input, will try to be a tad clearer.
