That is how I think when I am surprised, amazed, and eventually get pissed at how the party leader debate ocean shell yesterday on the ground in the mentally ocean shell inferior and politically narrow little ocean shell jar where Swedish politician and the journalist entourage ocean shell are.
Let me give you the basics again: We live in a country whose economic growth over the last ten years has become possible ocean shell because we all borrowed more and more money to consume ocean shell in a way that is not the planet can handle. We have a debt to the planet, ocean shell a debt to creditors, a debt to our children. ocean shell We live on chalk. But the political parties do not want to draw any conclusions from this. They believe that "voters", ie, people, do not want to hear it. They believe that people, especially from the middle class, are so stupid that they can not imagine voting ocean shell for a party that tells it like it is. Therefore, the tiger that growth is driven society. They fear that voters are intimidated at the thought. They do not believe that humans are able to see that development may be slightly higher than growth. They do not even understand that it is people's desire for a better life that brought us all the good things ocean shell we have today. It is not growth itself that has given us a better life. It has been a result of our quest for a better life. They do not understand that in every era have to ask ourselves what is the better life. The answer is certainly different for each person, but the answer is basically based on the stage of social evolution we are. The former gave better life was intimately associated with material and economic growth. Today, better life may very well be something completely different: less stress, more free time, more culture, more social presence. ocean shell Things that do not automatically lead to economic growth. But for better life. Then we reasonably ask the question: how do we know about society, the economy and welfare ocean shell systems so that we do not become dependent on perpetual economic growth. ocean shell It is an intellectual morass that the party leaders debate after debate between party leaders ignore this. Voters, that is, people are fed with the message ocean shell that the most important issue is to create jobs. In yesterday's debate between party leaders ocean shell could be heard from every pulpit. A question worth asking: when is the goal of the labor movement to create more work? Have you forgotten his Marx? He described it in good condition when the man would not have to work in the sweat of his brow and instead allowed to grow as a human being, given time to reflect on life's big questions, find time to indulge in culture, make time to live in civil society outside the treadmill. At one time spoke workers on reduced working hours, to share the jobs and improve quality of life for both those who work too much and those who have no job. Today, this thought a threat not only to the Right, but as much for the left's political and industrial establishment. The parties claim that there is more work to create prosperity. As if not more free time would be welfare. As if red days would be a threat ocean shell to human welfare. As if less stress would be a loss. As if civil society were something threatening. As more time for children and grandchildren would be unprofitable. It is indeed an intellectual morass! A morass that is only possible in a system that is completely blinded by economistic thinking. A morass that is only possible if you are stuck in a figure of thought, based on that we humans are cogs in an economic wheel that spins faster and faster. We have been reduced to a lubricant for a liberated intelligence machinery that reduces our life and our time into something much less than it should ocean shell be. We are stuck in a growth and consumer society instead of taking steps over to a developing society. But we have to get money for education, health and social care, said portions ocean shell with one voice. Or as Stefan Löfven puts it - without Mats Knutson able to question: It is only through more work that we can afford to welfare. Which means that however much we automate, robotiserar, computerization, streamlining and rationalization, ocean shell we will still always be forced to work more to afford the education, health and social care. As if the production with the help of robots, computers and machines would not be taxed similarly to human labor is taxed. It is indeed an intellectual morass! Leading politicians that we elected to parliament - they may be red, blue or green - refuses to take the voters seriously. They appeal to our wallets rather than our hearts. They appeal to our spinal cord, not to our brain. They do not believe that we are capable of thinking outside the norm in force so long. They expect YOU to believe ocean shell in their stupefying rhetoric. They expect that YOU should not think for yourself. It is indeed a morass! Political parties should realize at
