I have not lied, another smear from you.
It doesn't matter what Kamprad's political opinions was in his youth, using socialism to take over private companies as the Social democrats did is still wrong regardless. Are you going to call the family Rausing (creator of Tetra Pak) for fascist as well because the didn't want union bureaucrats to take over their creation?
In what way would union bureaucrats be better stewards than business owners? We had union bureaucrat recently who ran the country, Stefan Löfven, probably the worst prime minister in history.
Social democrats during the leadership of Olof Palme were definitely radicals. During this era they expanded the government and increased taxation massively, which led to a high currency devaluation, i.e made the Swedes poorer, typical socialism. As Olof Palme's successor Göran Persson said it, something like ~ Social democrats always puts democracy before socialism, Olof Palme did the opposite ~. Fitting end that Palme got murdered like something you hear about from 3rd World Marxist kleptocracies.
More than 100% in taxes is 100% true, here you can read all about it

That is why the Government reacted and made a change to the tax legislation within two months, why would they if it wasn't over 100%? Even the most radical couldn't defend this absurdity.
Saltsjöbadsavtalet was not about parliamentary decision, it was about consensus between employers and employees, which led to the Golden years. A consensus that the Social democrats broke when they passed LAS in the seventies. (Also Social democrats is again abandoning the Swedish model by accepting that EU can pass minimal wage legislation)
Without Kamprad there would be no IKEA, thus nowhere for workers to work. That is the thing to understand, Kamprad was one in a billion, radicals exists in the thousands, useless of course because they don't create anything of value.
Why everything is tied up around the stock market is because of neoliberalism, a consequence of the right wing's radicalization as I described earlier, typical for neoliberalism and marxism is that they both believe in printing money out of thin air and then speculate with it. Who benefits? Not the poor of course, it is the receivers of that printed money, for neoliberalism that would be bankers and capitalists and in marxism that would be bureaucrats and politicians, as it was in the Soviet union.
- cess11 2y agoObviously you belong to the same political movement as he did. A few years before his death he said in an interview the his friend Per Engdahl was a great man. He was a fascist when he died. It made a solid impression on IKEA as a company. It's why unions have never been able to form there, it's why the company 'culture' has a distinctly parasocial 'family'-character, it's why the trust invests heavily in keeping refugees in desert camps, it's why Kamprad was disgusted by the idea to pay taxes, it's why IKEA does its sourcing in countries like Russia, Romania and so on, and avoids ecological destruction in Sweden. Your link confirms what I wrote earlier. Maybe you know someone who could help you translate it? You're using radical in some highly personal sense, in common parlance it means you're trying to cause social and political change through means like civil disobedience, direct action, mutual aid, militant revolution, rather than parliamentary deliberation and compromise. Palme was likely murdered by the fascist Gladio/Stay Behind network. So yes, it's how the political hegemony you support usually does it. Either buy the mafia and make money from drugs, or hire upper class murderers that are already financed by their exploitation of workers. Kamprad had some luck and Engdahl had some money. He wasn't special, Sweden has been lenient with fascists and oligarchs during all of modernity.
- tored 2y agoNo, I'm not part of that movement, another smear, directly from the communist handbook. But you will get nowhere with that here. It is of course fine to question IKEA's business practices, myself is critical of many, personally I'm all in favour of unions as a union member myself, what is not okay is for bolsjeviks to steal companies by using the force of the government and undermine the entire economic model of society in a similar fashion what happened to the kulaks. > Your link confirms what I wrote earlier. No, read again, it confirms that Astrid Lindgren payed 101.06% in taxes. And Astrid Lindgren was not the only one affected by this extreme taxation. Confirmed by this report https://cms.ratio.se/app/uploads/2014/11/den_svenska_modellen3.pdf https://cms.ratio.se/app/uploads/2014/11/den_svenska_modelle... Marginalskatten var runt mitten av 1970-talet mycket hög (se figur 4); den högsta marginalskatten var i mitten av 1970-talet runt 87 procent. Beaktades även förmögenhetsskatten kunde marginalskatten överstiga 100 procent för kapitalinkomster och för rörelsekapital kunde marginalskatten också överstiga 100 procent om hänsyn togs till både inkomstskatt och egenavgifter (Grosskopf & Rabe, 1991). Detta uppmärksammades av Astrid Lindgren och föranledde henne att skriva en saga om Pomperipossa (Pomperipossa i Monismanien, 1976) som levde i ett fantasiland (Monismanien), framställt som en idyll i mångt och mycket men där Pomperipossa tvingades att betala mer i skatt än vad hon tjänade (102 procent). Astrid Lindgren beskrev på ett målande sätt Sverige och sin egen situation vilket ledde till ett skatteuppror i Sverige och att den 100 procentliga marginalskatten ganska snart justerades nedåt (Grosskopf & Rabe, 1991) även om marginalskatten på rörelsekapital fortfarande kunde uppgå till 90 procent. Never trust left wing radicals on history or on anything actually. Lies are part of their ideology in order to turn society upside down. And why are you denying it? This is what your movement wanted and still wants, that we all should be tax slaves under an anonymous bureaucracy. In every answer you keep bringing in irrelevant arguments, but that is typical of left wing radicals, they need to create a myth that they are fighting the good fight against all these fascists, so that they can impose a tyranny on all of us.
