” The Swedish Right, in other words, is busy instituting a Left-leaning reform that some significant parts of the Left do not want, over the stringent objections of many politicians on the Right, and in total contravention of the desires of voters on the Right. “


Boy ! This sounds familiar !

... the Riksbanken — Sweden’s central bank — announced that it had lost some 44 billion kr (£3.2 billion)...

How the hell did they lose 44 billion Krone?!

I just saw a graph of the usage of the word “decadent”. It’s usage has been on the rise for quite some time.

Re: "Author is not familiar"

Not to me, either.

Wiki claims that Malcom Kyeyune has described himself as a Marxist in the past.

Apparently, he started drifting towards something like right wing Populism in the recent past.

Did you check out the Comments on your link?

I have not seen commentary this good since I stopped reading The Economist in the 1990s, which, at that time, was moving further and further away from its Classical Liberal roots.

Wiki says the author is Swedish.

His thumb nail photo (on your link) looks like he is at least half African, so he may have an interesting personal history.

How come the Political Left never breaks ranks?

Their self-discipline is amazing and absolute.
