Sweden

Many who meet followers of Lenin and Mao ask why not support a Swedish model for the world instead of an Amerikkkan capitalist model or a Maoist model. Our critics like to say there is "freedom" in Sweden without the extremes of violence and poverty seen in the united $tates.

While we will not deny that Sweden softens some of the particularly strange aspects of capitalism seen in the united $tates, we will say that whatever comfort Swedish citizens enjoy comes at the expense of the Third World. That is the fundamental reason we are not for social-democracy and view it as a form of economic nationalism bound up with and often giving rise to fascism.

The Swedish role is to partake in the same currency manipulation and trade in goods produced under forced labor conditions that the rest of the imperialist world does. Yankee imperialism sets the terms for much business in the world and Sweden benefits. Although it is possible to go about Sweden without realizing it, the profits and comforts of Sweden come from the Third World, not Sweden's own "labor."
