What's wrong with your politicians? Don't they know that consequences for their actions and taking responsibility are 20th century concepts and you can just continue angrily denying that your incompetence has caused lots of deaths and accuse those who point that out of lacking all decency? #justRuttethings

They deliberately let COVID-19 run rampant in old people's homes so they'd die and stop being a financial burden. Dunno if they also deliberately tried to kill off foreign-language-speaking communities or if that was just incompetence. Everyone else who died was collateral damage.

The official story is that Swedes are just culturally predisposed to unhygienic/pro-pandemic behavior, and if you don't believe that you're a conspiracy theorist. You have convinced me I now believe in the Filthy Swede theory of medicine.

lol it's like how in the US there's those freaks who go on about the classics are culturally superior but probably couldn't even identify the moonlit sonata if it was played. it's bad enough to be reactionary and to use the classics as a cultural cudgel, but to be illiterate in them too? what a world

double nine posted:erm, who are the good lefties in that election? R, the Red party, is the leftmost party with any presence on stortinget, maoist splinters of the communist party 1000 years ago, i think???? don't know how relevant those roots are to their current politics SV, the Socialist Leftist party, are probably ok as well. AP, the Labor party, social democrats, have had the same trajectory as many other labor parties around the world, more right wing over the years. AP wants to lead a coalition with SV and SP, they got their wish and do not strictly need R or MDG for anything. Kind of bad but better than another right wing government. Speaking of: SP is a weird anti-centralization party (formerly farmers party) that's popular in more rural regions, economically more right wing than AP. MDG, the Environmentalist party: the Greens (yes, that's their full name), supposedly "leftist", likely liberal, green party, got owned despite gaining seats. The losers: KRF, the Christian People's Party, supposedly humanitarian (because Jesus was nice) but hate communists and therefore will never work with social democrats, also socially regressive, got owned. V, Left, second oldest party?, originally for rich people, intellectuals, proletarians etc. who are against the nobility and even richer people. you may notice this makes no sense anymore and they have been in a constant identity crisis for a long time. Nowadays they're liberals who want to legalize (and probably privatize) drugs, they are apparently also the environmentalist choice on the right. They did not get owned despite making no sense and appealing to nobody. H, Right, conservatives, ruled the country for the past eight years with FRP, KRF and V, suck rear end. FRP, "progress party" (literally "forward step party"), suck, terrible, no good, bad. Wonderful combination of right wing economics with regressive social politics, racism and the occasional populism about roads and toll roads. the party may or may not have taken money from the South African government in the 80s to say "apartheid is good". their former leader had a bust of reagan in her office and was a fan of ayn rand and thatcher. a truly inter nationalist party. Finally PF is a tiny single issue party that got one seat in Finnmark? something about a local hospital??? Important note: Getting more than 4% of the popular vote means your party is entitled to extra seats not tied to any particular geographic region. I guess to avoid an insane scenario where 20% of the country supports a party but they aren't concentrated enough to win anywhere. This is why R (good!) and V (bad) have so many more seats than MDG and KRF despite a small difference in %. don't think KRF has been below 4% in a long time and R is above 4% for the first time ever.

Guy P. McMan posted:Disclaimer: i may or may not be full of poo poo on some things: you have activated my trap card Rødt is a descendent, as you correctly note, of the AKP-ml and their electoral unity front with the other far-left activist groups (think an amalgam of trotskyites, third-worldists and suchlike, a very LF bunch), Rød Valgallianse, which has stopped self-proletarianising and has put on suits; notable for still having politicians front their ideology rather than think tanks, because they've got no money for think tanks. this makes them by far the most ideologically aggressive, which again is a big part of what pushed them above 4% this time. SV is a somewhat weird construction of left-wing social-democrats, renegade Soviet-aligned communists from the sixties (i guess they had their kronstadt moment with the prague spring) and intellectual eurocommunists. they were founded in the name of cold war neutrality (i.e. opposition to NATO membership) which they stoppd really caring about with the end of the cold war. they're still nominally anti-NATO and substantially anti-EU, but they got maneuvered into supporting the libya intervention in 2011 and have a tendency to succomb to weird bourgeois idealism Ap is as you note the labour party, which was formed by a bunch of Very Serious Dudes in the late 19th century and was to my knowledge the only major social-democratic party to actually join the comintern following the october revolution. the moscow theses were not really formed for that sort of party, so they left a few years later, but not until absorbing a fair amount of soviet development theory which would persist until the seventies. they had a sharp neoliberal turn in the late eighties (these trends have historically arrived here about a decade after they strike abroad). they still have extremely close ties to the labour confederation, the single largest organisation in norway by membership and very *heavy* organisation, which somewhat curbs the most keen liberalism, but LO itself has become fairly professionalised over the past decades, stirring ideologically with the recent open challenges to its authority. MDG are Greens. they are not supposedly leftist. they explicitly disavow being called that and i think we should take them seriously when they do this. basically they're a party for the urban educated class who think that the environment is more important than liberalism at all costs. Sp is a centrist anti-liberal party. they like agricultural subsidies, decentralisation, lowered land taxes, relaxed building regulations, tariffs and active industrial policy. i am not familiar with a party like this anywhere else in europe, which is probably to their benefit since it means that they can't just steal their misunderstood ideology from elsewhere like most of the rest of them do. V is the oldest, not second oldest, party in norway. they're not leftist. basically they're a party for the urban educated class who think liberalism at all costs is more important than the environment. H is the second-oldest party and are basically fans of the British Conservative party, which they wish they could be and constantly salivate after. it's weird and bad. FrP is, yeah, just an odious party. more libertarian than the alt-right parties have tended to be, weirdly. PF is a list in Finnmark, based around Southern Finnmark; because of the way the regions are built and because people are very sparsely distributed in Finnmark, a good third of the population of that region has to drive for three to four hours on some rather precarious roads which are often snowed in during winter time in order to make it to a hospital. they're not happy about it, so they elected this random lady to say "hammerfest hospital delenda est" at every parliamentary debate. the efficacy of this manuever is not clear, but i respect the moxie.
