Louis: And kudos to you as well, Hugh, for a fascinating follow-up to 
Robert. One thing to keep in mind when speaking about reformism in Sweden 
is that it has profoundly revolutionary birth in the labor struggles 
depicted in the film "Adalen 31". The town is Adalen, the year is 1931, 
and it is the scene of one of the deepest confrontations between labor 
and capital at that time in Europe. The strike led to a downfall of the 
government and the first election of Social Democracy there. I am no 
expert on Sweden, but that is my sense of what took place. As always, I 
am happy to be corrected.
