Socialism always is. That generation of social democrats was more of socialists than democrats and that was where it all went wrong, making their own party ideology to state ideology. Taking over private property in that way is nothing more

One have to remember why this was setup in the way it is, to protect the company forever. In Sweden during the 70-ties 80-ties the Social democrats was pushing a radical socialist agenda ('löntagarfonder') to take over companies b
