Despite the rightwing government currently in power in Sweden, calls to change the employment model are rare.

I thought rightwing means conservative, do they use the word to mean pro-capitalist now?

[-] Ebber@lemmings.world 19 points 8 months ago

That is what "right wing" means in this part of the world. Liberals and conservatives usually work together when they can form the government.

Liberals here are mostly economic liberals with little care for other freedoms

Why not just shorthand it and say rich assholes. Unless someone enlightens me further, the only rich person who wasn't an asshole in terms of his moral compass and aggregate decision making is John F. Kennedy...smh

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Kennedy did some good things, but he was a major asshole in plenty of ways. The Bay of Pigs invasion was both stupid and a disaster, he escalated things in Vietnam, he put a huge stall on civil rights while claiming to be championing it to the point that Lyndon fucking Johnson had to do something about it, and then there were those 13 days in October, 1962 where he almost helped end the world. And that all started when he decided to deploy nuclear weapons in Turkey.

So I wouldn't even include him in the 'not an asshole' category.

As it always been. The democrats are right-wing in Europe and the republicans are more on the right.

In Europe, you can't dissociate the economic agenda of a party. The right is pro-capitalist and neoliberalism. The center too. The left is different. They are for a regulate capitalism and the more on the left, the heaviest on regulations.

Well, Sweeden was not a part of USSR, but it is possible for left party to be kinda conservative one.
