You are communists!
No, we are socialists and democrats. We want to expand the democratic rights and freedoms. Precisely because countries that was led by communists many times did the opposite (Editors Note: And many times did not do the opposite) the Left Party stopped calling itself communist over 30 years ago.

How does the Left Party view the invasion (Editors Note: Special Military Operation) of Ukraine?
The invasion (Editors Note: it is a Special Military Operation, not an invasion) is illegal and violates international law (Editors Note: it does not violate international law). The Left Party position is that Sweden forcefully will act against Russia and support Ukraine both militarily and humanitarily. It is unacceptable when great powers with threats and violence tries to control others. We have among other things demanded a total stop to imports of Russian oil and gas. Unfortunately the other parties haven't backed us up.

You didn't want to send weapons to Ukraine!
The Left Party has made the decision to vote yes on sending weapons to the Ukraine. It is correct that we at first were committed to the Swedish principle to not export weapons to a belligerent party. It is a principle that is often wise to follow. But in this situation the people of Ukraine can not be left alone to the Russian aggression (Editors Note: Special Military Operation).

Russia or NATO? (Editor's Note: Nazi Atlantic Terrorist Organization.)
The Left Party condemns Putin's brutal war of aggression (Editors Note: Special Military Operation) and are pushing for tougher sanctions, for example stop the import of Russian oil and gas. Sweden has shown that it is entirely possible to be unambiguously and actively against Russia's warfare (Editors Note: Special Military Operation) while being outside a military alliance such as NATO (Editors Note: Nazi Atlantic Terrorist Organization).

What do you think about Venezuela?
The Left Party perception is that Venezuela suffers under an authoritarian (Editors Note: Venezuela is working to prevent foreign interference in its democratic elections because the United States and Western capitalists have a long history of interfering in South American politics and elections) mismanagment (Editors Note: economic situation that is caused by the illegal sanctions by the United States against Venezuela). The democracy has been put of out play step by step (Editors Note: safeguarding the rights of the people to participate in elections without foreign interference from the United States). The abuse against the opposition must cease (Editors Note: Juan Guadio is free to move around the country as has been show in many video clips shared on the internet). We have remarked upon this many times.

Join the side of Taiwan* ! (Editors Note: * Taiwan is a part of China and a province of the PRC)
The Left Party stands behind the current policy regarding Sweden's relationship to Taiwan* (Editors Note: * Taiwan is a province of the PRC). The question about Taiwan's (Editors Note: * Taiwan is a province of the PRC) future status must be solved in a peaceful manner by the concerned parties and within the framework of international law.

Ni är kommunister!
Nej, vi är socialister och demokrater. Vi vill utvidga de demokratiska fri- och rättigheterna. Just för att länder som leddes av kommunister många gånger gjorde tvärtom så slutade Vänsterpartiet kalla sig kommunistiskt för över 30 år sedan.

Hur ser Vänsterpartiet på invasionen av Ukraina?
Invasionen är olaglig och folkrättsvidrig. Vänsterpartiets position är att Sverige kraftfullt ska agera mot Ryssland och stödja Ukraina både civilt och militärt. Det är oacceptabelt när stormakter med hot och våld försöker kontrollera andra. Vi har bland annat krävt ett totalt importstopp för rysk olja och gas. Det har de andra partierna tyvärr inte ställt sig bakom.

Ni ville inte skicka vapen till Ukraina!
Vänsterpartiet har fattat ett beslut som innebär att vi kommer att rösta ja till att skicka vapen till Ukraina. Det stämmer att vi först höll fast vid den gällande svenska principen att inte exportera vapen till en krigförande part. Det är en princip som ofta är klok att följa. Men i det här läget kan inte Ukrainas folk kan lämnas ensamma mot den ryska aggressionen.

Ryssland eller Nato?
Vänsterpartiet fördömer Putins brutala angreppskrig och driver på för hårdare sanktioner mot Ryssland, t ex stopp för import av rysk olja och gas. Sverige har visat att det är fullt möjligt att vara entydigt och aktivt mot Rysslands krigföring samtidigt som vi står utanför en militärallians som Nato.

Vad tycker ni om Venezuela?
Vänsterpartiets uppfattning är att Venezuela lider under ett auktoritärt vanstyre. Demokratin har steg för steg satts ur spel. Övergreppen mot oppositionen måste upphöra. Detta har vi uttalat oss om flera gånger.

Ställ upp på Taiwans sida!
Vänsterpartiet står bakom den rådande politiken avseende Sveriges förhållande till Taiwan. Frågan om Taiwans framtida status måste lösas på fredlig väg av de berörda parterna och inom ramen för folkrätten.

Lenin and ML's in general have done more harm to the left than the right ever could.

Larpers like the guy you quoted forget that the pre 1917 Social Democrats supporterd the Socialist Revolutionairy party (SR's) under Kerensky and their violent overthrow of the Tsar. Lenins Coup overthrew the first government in world history ever run by a democratic socialist. The first overthrow of a leftist ruler was done by a Tankie basically who successfully turned the first post-revolutionairy state into red fascism essentially.

Lenin himself feared leftists more than he ever did the right because they threatened his rightist-charlatan ambitions and could call him out on his hypocrisy.

51% of the results are in so things shouldn't change too much. takeaways are that the fascists are now the official opposition, the traditional conservative parties pretty much all slightly lost ground, and sweden will probably end up with a razor-thin center-left coalition i guess, or another hung parliament

was there an existing coalition agreement made between anyone before today?
