For as head-turning as the headings used to describe this motion are the actual content of it is not that radical.

http://www.vansterpartiet.se/assets/A-motioner-kongress2018.pdf

quote:

...

SCB använder sig regelbundet av olika former av enkätundersökningar som riktar sig till befolkningen för att samla information och data inom olika samhällsområden t.ex. arbetsmarknaden, socio-ekonomiska förutsättningar osv, eller till brukarna av de olika statliga verksamheterna (t ex i relation till skola och utbildning, individ- och familjeomsorg, äldreomsorg, barn och unga, bibliotek o s v). I stort sett alltid frågas det om ålder och kön och ibland om födelseland och bostadsområde. Kön och ålder är båda lagstadgade diskrimineringsgrunder men det finns ett antal diskrimineringsgrunder och kategorier som det bara ibland frågas om i enkäterna såsom könsöverskridande identitet eller uttryck, funktionshinder och tillgänglighet samt sexuell läggning. Ingen av dessa diskrimineringsgrunder och kategorier går det att få fram siffror på via befolkningsregistret så det enda sättet att ta reda på om exempelvis HBTQ-personer är missgynnade i något sammanhang är att fråga om det och denna metod kallas oftast utanför Sverige för jämlikhetsdata.

Mycket tyder tyvärr på att klyftorna fortsätter att växa i Sverige. Segregationen och ojämlikheten är just nu som allra mest tydlig i relation till just diskrimineringsgrunderna etnisk tillhörighet, nationellt ursprung eller hudfärg samt religion eller annan trosuppfattning. Att börja fråga om etnicitet, hudfärg och religion är tillåtet enligt svensk lagstiftning, det har DO utrett på regeringens uppdrag i rapporten "Statistikens roll i arbetet mot diskriminering" (2012), och Sverige får också regelbundet kritik från FN och EU för att inte ha några data och siffror om dessa diskrimineringsgrunder.

Diskrimineringsgrunder som sällan eller aldrig inkluderas i undersökningar är etnisk tillhörighet, nationellt ursprung eller hudfärg samt religion eller annan trosuppfattning. Uppemot 20 % av invånarna idag har någon form av utländsk bakgrund men som i stort sett aldrig frågas om sin etniska tillhörighet, nationella ursprung eller hudfärg samt religion eller annan trosuppfattning.

Att välja att synliggöra olika gruppers utsatthet är ett oerhört viktigt steg i processen för att skapa ett jämlikt samhälle, för det är bara när man kan identifiera, synliggöra och mäta människors utsatthet som man kan ta fram riktade och effektiva politiska åtgärder mot de specifika problemen. Att inte samla jämlikhetsdata är att blunda för och därmed också upprätthålla rådande normer om ojämlika förutsättningar och socio-ekonomiska klyftor som drabbar olika grupper i samhället

Yrkande

att Vänsterpartiet ska jobba för att Sverige, genom Statistiska Centralbyrån, SCB ska upprätta jämlikhetsdata, som bygger på samtliga diskrimineringsgrunder, i de relevanta årliga enkätundersökningar som görs

There's something very different about doing a voluntary census to get a more complex image of discrimination and a wholesale combing and re-definition of crime-data to support racist beliefs and policy proposals. Try to figure it out why won't you.

There's also the minor moral quibble,

Objective truth in politics is dead, if it ever existed. The right/the russians has very much succeeded in making this so. Any such study would be attacked or misinterpreted by one side or another. The right have fewer scruples and are generally have their heads up their asses when it comes to stuff, which is among the reasons why this is a victory for them. Still, even with a ridiculously hypothetical "brown people actually are evil" result, the best you could hope for from a leftist politicians would be for them to simply ignore it. Disseminating truth is not what politics are about, and the left needs to be more concerned with providing a compelling ideological alternative than quibbling over statistics with people who do not give a gently caress.

I personally love the "we must find out the True Cost of immigration" rhetoric of M. What does it even mean? And what shall I, as a Concerned Voter (Not Racist, I like the pizza baker!!), do with the resulting numbers?

If immigration is Bad and should be restricted because it's expensive; is birth, sickness, lethargy, growing old, etc. Bad too? Death or banishment to all who do not present instant sufficient revenue to the state? With exceptions for the rich, obviously.

For comparison purposes 'the true cost of smoking' is a net positive for society. Because while smokers have more complications than non-smokers, they die a lot quicker from those complications, and more importantly, they live much shorter lives. Conveniently typically dying off from cancer and coronary implosion shortly after retirement age, and thusly isn't a burden on society as people who live to they are 100, and are a net negative for the last 30 years. I can't wait for all the 'start smoking, it's never too late' campaigns to start, because 'economics'. It's almost as if it's a completely retarded place to start.

If we really want to bring up the economic issues, everyone who has actually studied the effect of migration on the economy have agreed that it's a net positive. You'll find few lone paid shills and racists who think otherwise though. It's basically like climate change research (except a little more fragmented when it comes to reasons/causalities why it is the case). In particular, racist assholes typically point to one, incredibly flawed and highly problematic, piece of research on how diversity is bad. Comically ignoring that the vast consensus of research on both migration and diversity shows the exactly opposite.

i wouldnt compare economists to real scientists but i obviously trust them when they say immigration is good for a declining birth rate.

doing a cost benefit analysis of rescuing starving orphan refugees seems obvious to me as a consequentialist. its also probably pretty obvious to those with nationalist morals, ie most people. its a bit more complicated than just racism

Talking about economic benefit I think you need to separate asylum seekers and other immigration, they're very different things. We can't really tell what the long term economic effects of the last few years massive migration wave. I have seen conflicting arguments for economic benefit and it hurting the economy.

If you want to take in refugees, the humanitarian argument is better than trying to argue that its a net positive for the economy.

What does "net positive" even mean? Like, plenty of policies are great when viewed at the country level, while that obscures where the positives and negatives are. A "net positive" policy that makes the richest 10% twice as rich and the poorest 50% half as rich, is not actually a good policy.

Every case is widely different so no matter how many times we've succesfully integrated an immigration wave in the past skeptics will always be technically correct in arguing 'you can't know this time when it's the fins/italians/balkans/iraqis/somalis/syrians won't be different'. It's the same tired iteration every time but from a strictly academic viewpoint it's not an incorrect argument. It doesn't matter how many times the assertion is incorrect because the next time it might not.

Of course that's also why strict cost-benefit analysis has very little to do in most actual questions of policy of this nature. Modern economics have fooled people into believing that policy can be divided into good/bad when in reality it's more like this is likely good/this is likely bad.

Current academic consensus in economics on immigration is that it's very likely good, but the actual reasons that we do it and have done it so many times are ideological.

Ie short-term is obviously a loss, 2nd generation seems like a loss (lower employment numbers than natives), 3rd generation is positive.
But then we are speaking about a time frame of 30-40 years.

Oh so he used citations, that makes everything different. Pack it up scientists, this one guy released another questionable book on a topic he has published literally nothing peer-reviewed on through his entire academic career (because his specialty is still loving entrepreneurship Cardiac, if you thought we had forgotten) but oh boy this time he used citations. This is totally how academia works. :rolleyes:

I mean I'd push through his entire book, if I literally had nothing else going on in my life, but even just going through some parts of it there are some laughable displays of analysis going on (pages 13-14 really say I all). I mean just look at that those citations you wanted to bring attention to. Almost nothing from academia and or state reports when it comes to the economical side of the argument. And that makes sense because Tino's analysis is not built around any kind of theoretical framework, model or even a falsifiable hypothesis. He haphazardly uses data from SCB (mostly unemployment data) by entirely robbing it of context, both regional, historical and for the economy as a whole, cherry picking whatever fits his pre-supposed conclusion. These chapters wouldn't even pass as a bachelor thesis because they make unsourced claims sometimes 2-5 times per page.

Massutmaning is not an academic critique of the current consensus in economics, it's a sloppily cobbled together consumer product to profit off the current anti-immigration sentiment.

As always with you, there is only scapegoating the messenger and cherrypicking.
I note that you picked one of the chapters without any form of academic citations as well as not having a single example where the data is wrong.

But admittedly (by Tinos own words) this is not a rigorous academic work (since no one outside academia reads those) but popular science anthology.
As for falsifiable hypothesisis in social sciences, lol.

SvD published one criticism from 2 researchers from KTH, where their critic was based on a rather specific topic than nitpicking over the entire book. If the book was so full of faults, then there should be plenty to choose from.
BTW, would you consider the infamous Sandviken report as good (especially, lol, the current situation for Sandviken)?

It's such a weird phenomenon; how people otherwise fairly reasonable and able to demonstrate some level of reflexivity and critical thought, just completely loose all sense of perspective, and become utterly pants on head retarded, when the topic is immigration. Suddenly even the most obvious hack opinions becomes 'worth considering' and clearly ideologically driven arguments, are taken at face value. Grossly misconstrued, and completely transparently cherry-picked data and methodology, is suddenly fine, and defensible, because of ((((((reasons)))))).

I guess it's just subconscious racism or something, but I really think it's weird. It's like the one topic where it consistently happens. Well, actually, I guess the gun debate in the US is similar.
