Before congress called for Daniel Färm, on behalf of the socialist think-tank the Time a ”clearer frihetsperspektiv in the social democratic development of ideas” ( DN Debate 19/3), for the same present a report to micromanage people’s lifestyles with the tax on sugar, a smoke-free Sweden in 2030, and more holidays to the one who trains on a regular basis.
the social democrats are so weak that they must be forced to go along with the situation.
Had mäster Palm been in life, he had probably left the social democracy once more, as he did when the party in 1911, took a stand to totalförbjuda alcohol: ”For with the democratic legislation mean we are not law what people shall eat, and drink.” Also, Per Albin Hansson said that the welfare state must accommodate ”a measure of freedom”. Today’s socialists have a lot to work on when it comes to frihetsperspektiv and to let people make their own decisions.
