  Anna Lindhs Minnesfond
When the Swedish Social Democratic Youth League was to elect a new chair in 1984, Anna Lindh was the name that united the organisation after a series of divisive struggles that had gone on since the 1970s.
When the Social Democrats were again in opposition in 1991—94, she had the opportunity to bring her cultural interest to the fore of her work.
But just three days before the Swedish people were to vote “yes” or “no” to the euro, Anna Lindh died, at the age of 46, from the injuries she sustained in the knife attack at the NK department store in Stockholm.

 The Programme of the Swedish Left Party
Socialism is the implementation of an economically and politically democratic system.
However, the democratic system must also protect the rights of other ethnic minorities to develop their own language and culture, both in its distinctive character and as a contribution to multi-cultural social wealth.
Socially and culturally integrated residential areas can create places for people to meet which would be more likely to engender respect between people with different backgrounds than the current often uniform housing estates.

 The Swedish Political Parties
The Social Democratic Party had an unbroken run in office from 1932 to 1976 (apart from a three- month interregnum in 1936), then returned to power in 1982 and lost power again in the 1991 election, only to regain it in the 1994 election.
The Social Democratic leadership's decision not to mobilize the party organization in the referendum campaign was perhaps wise, given the need to avoid fragmenting the party.
To the Social Democratic Party, the demand for economic democracy is as self-evident as the demand for political democracy.

 Youth-Party Relations in the Communist Youth International
The first socialist youth organization, the Belgian Young Guards (formed in 1886) was formed independently of the Social Democrats, for basically political motives, i.e., the desire to engage in anti-militarist agitation and propaganda.
Subordination of the youth leagues to the social chauvinist leaders of the major European parties (with the exception of the Bolsheviks) meant their subjugation to the barracks discipline of their respective imperialist bourgeoisies.
The political subordination of the youth to the party flows from the principle of discipline towards the revolutionary movement, and in the concrete instance the recognition that the CI was the bearer of revolutionary continuity and the revolutionary program.

 Angels of Antichrist - Social State vs. Kinship
Due to a peculiar and almost entirely social democratic dominance of power in the 20th century, Sweden has become the symbol not only of the Nordic welfare state but also of a totalitarian social state with limited possibilities for parents to make their own decisions for their children.
When the Swedish legislator made flogging children (and psychological abuse) a crime it was not solely a measure in the best interest of the child, but perhaps even more in the best interest of the social state, because of its undermining effect on parental authority.
For the social democratic as well as for the feminist movement, demolishing authoritarian phenomena was important, so finally they met in the family, where the feminists shot the patriarch while the socialists took the children.

socialism, the “defenders of the fatherland” in the present war, and with an earnest desire to wipe out the corroding influence of chauvinism and opportunism in the international labour movement.
