 I won't go into Rolf's long post on Sweden. Most by the way that is 
completely politically wrong as any kind of left perspective. But I find it 
interesting that he thinks there was a complot to get Mona Sahlin dumped by 
the media because of her pro nuclear power stance. This by the way appears 
to determine most if not all of Rolf's lining up with this or that wether 
they are reformists in the Social democracy or the German bougeoisie.

But Mona Sahlin was hardly to the left of the present leader of the Social 
Democracy and in fact was to the right on most issues and especially issues 
involving workers. Despite her playing "I am just a normal Swedish women" 
with kids who worked hard etc.

The big thing about the Sahlin affair was not the credit card stuff and 
typical moralism of Lutheran character. But the politics of Sahlin which 
unfortunately were never taken up. Most of the anti worker legislation of 
the new Social Democratic government she supported and in fact wanted to go 
futher to "save" Sweden.

So to paint Sahlin as some kind of left wing hero and Persson as and agent 
of American imperialism is wrong. They both are agents of the bougeoisie in 
the workers movement.
