Because extremists are strong in the Swedish paradise? Because it's not a paradise

It is the industrialized country that has recovered best from the consequences of the global financial crisis 2008, the second best in the entire European Union for unemployment rate (5,9 percent) and the first for employment rate (82 percent of the workforce); its GDP is growing at the rate of 3 percent per year thanks also to investments in development and research, the highest in all of Europe (3,3 percent of GDP) and is positioned first in the world rankings of sustainable development, entrepreneurial opportunities and economic competitiveness. Yet in the elections scheduled for Sunday 9 September its main governing party risks recording its worst result of the last few 100 years, while the two opposition parties of the far left and especially the far right are credited with the best result in their young history.

How is this possible? It is possible if you are in Sweden, and if the best socio-economic data in the world or in Europe are accompanied by disturbing statistics like those that have recently hit the headlines: in a country of 10 million inhabitants where up to 10 years ago shootings were almost unheard of, some have been well recorded 320 last year, together with 110 murders and 7.226 reported rapes, il 10 percent more than 2016. Il 36 percent of women say they feel in danger at nightfall, and the police reports prove them right: Reports of sexual violence tripled between 2012 and the 2016, thus affecting the 4,1 percent of all women, against 1.4 percent six years ago.

Just as it happened in the communist regimes, certain truths (today for example. a photo of an embryo) they throw the current system into panic… collapse is also approaching for it?
Of Rodolfo Casadei

(AUTOMATIC READING)
«In communism as in liberal democracy we encounter the same peculiarity: what is incidental is treated as a systemic problem, which means that everything that happens is systemic and nothing is incidental to the system. Therefore it becomes natural for true liberal democrats – as it was for true communists – victimize their colleagues because of an occasional comment, or a lack of vigilance, or for an inappropriate joke, making life difficult for undisciplined people with constant warnings and creating new rules and stricter laws. By doing this, the self-proclaimed guardians of purity see themselves as those who carry on their shoulders the future of liberal democracy around the world. If it weren't for their effort and dedication, this great political undertaking, they think, would experience setbacks, and this must never be said. As in any system built on violence and lies, in communism this belief a little’ paradoxical in the contemporaneity of invincibility and vulnerability could be easily explained. It was felt that even just a few true thoughts and ideas, once publicly recognized as such, they would have exposed the falsity of the entire system and finally made it fall. Even the system's most deluded supporters knew that the truth was its most powerful enemy. And it was the truth in an almost literal sense that brought him down. In a liberal democracy this way of seeing things seems absurd, because the system is stable and the principle of freedom of speech is written into the Constitution. But those who hunt down political incorrectness and work to strengthen political correctness believe or perhaps unconsciously think that the stability of the system is not as strong as is naively believed, that free speech is not as problem-free as some bad actors believe it to be.".
