CMS sekreterare Erik Lindman Mata har skrivit om Sveriges förhållande till och inträde i Nato (apropå det möte som går av stapeln i morgon). Bergmans ketchupcitat ramar in det hela ganska bra.
🇸🇪➡️🪖 Sweden’s rapid shift from neutrality to NATO membership did not happen overnight, but the political silence surrounding militarisation today is striking.
In “𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐊𝐞𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐮𝐩 𝐄𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭: 𝐒𝐰𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐧’𝐬 𝐏𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐍𝐞𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐎,” 𝐸𝑟𝑖𝑘 𝐿𝑖𝑛𝑑𝑚𝑎𝑛 𝑀𝑎𝑡𝑎, Secretary at the Centre for Marxist Social Studies (CMS - Centrum för marxistiska samhällsstudier) in Stockholm, examines:
🔹 the weak institutional resistance to NATO in Sweden,
🔹 the collapse of parliamentary anti-militarism,
🔹 the transformation of Swedish social democracy and the Left Party,
🔹 and the broader consequences of alignment with US imperial policy.
📍As NATO foreign ministers gather in Helsingborg on 21 May, the article reflects on what remains of Sweden’s peace movement, and what must be rebuilt.
