is malmö actually that bad? back when i used to browse reddit (i don’t anymore thank god) i saw so many posts claiming malmö to become more crime-infested and unsafe after they let in syrian migrants, to the point where native malmöans can’t go out at night or need to keep their doors and windows shut.
It helps to think of Scania as the Quebeck of the North. A thoroughly right-wing, racist and fascist region that remains untouchable because they can use the excesses of Stockholm as a shield. We were the main collaborators during WW2 and Swedens prime minster was Scanian? Fuck you, you had a eugenics lab! Our police are keeping a list of names of known Romani vagrants and socialists? Fuck you, you sell weapons! We are complete racist fascists and 99% of all Sweden Democrat voters come from here? Fuck you, you commited genocide against us! It doesn’t matter if Malmö is bad or not. If it wasn’t, they would only claim that it’s because the socialist Swedish state has brainwashed everybody into complicity or something.
The popular support for the strike in Sweden is thoroughly 50/50 though. There’s predictably been a major fascist backlash including strike breaking, but there’s been tons of leftist wrecking too. Many leftists view the strikes as a succdemm psyop and you have to remember that Nooshi is a very unpopular leader. The Swedish left has become so Twitterized, Americanized and extremely online, that anything that isn’t Bernie is seen as either a psyop, liberalism or nationalist revisionism. This is despite the fact that the Left Party argued for the complete abolition of capitalism only a few years ago, while Bernie has never done so in his life.
