it's funny how here in Sweden the left has historically always been against immigration because of fear of breaking labour balance. the right won the race under the "new right" slogan among young voters; immediately invited millions of immigrants - there are literal interviews where the left still says they are against immigration while the right says they are pro immigration, as well as the right-wing economist saying in an interview that immigration will help higher competition among workers which will let employers lower wages and strain the welfare system so it can be dismabtled. immigration in turn had all the effects expected plus a huge upswing in crime, and the right then went out in media saying it's the left who brought all the immigrants here while the left is defending themselves by saying the immigrants are here now and we have to take care of them; which just reinforces the lie that the left invited all immigrants - and all this has accumulated to the nazi party getting a shit ton of votes and are now kicking out essential workers en masse who are all the immigrants they can touch (aka. non-problem immigrants, because the problematic immigrants can't be touched), and just talking statistics about their success of booting people out of the country while our healthcare and service field collapses. which i no doubt they will somehow blame on the left even if the left currently has no power.

it's just funny how the left is always to blame for rightwing shenanigans.

Isn't the right-wing Sweden Democratic party continuing its ascension and partially through its hard-line anti-immigrant stance? It seems they've held that stance for some time.

Sweden strikes me as sitting at the top of a long slide looking down.
