Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

It sounds like 'dying in the gulag' is what a lot of people will be doing under this arrangement. It will just be that the gulag is a bit different than they expected.

The ONE bright spot in the USA is that the younger the generation the more progressive it becomes. In the '60s I always thought 'don't trust anyone over thirty' was stupid. Those idiots were giving themselves ten years or less of relevance - if only people remembered. But in the current day USA there is a similar dynamic, with the GenX and younger generations rightly criticizing the Boomer generation for getting theirs and then voting to have the ladder pulled up. But the effects are opposite in tendency
to those in Sweden.

Oh, I don't think the young neoliberals are many, Timbro has just done well in selecting for those likely to make a political career and catching them young. Opposite of mass movement, if you like.

I hope so, and I hope that their craven greed is exposed for what it is.
