Mellin: why was Stefan Löfvens speech ideologically – Aftonbladet

VISBY . Development Moralism.

Taste the word. Think about the meaning.

It is in any event so Stefan Löfven want you to behave. To take the chances offered.

In his fourth speech in Almedalen continued Stefan Löfven on the line that he put out in several previous speeches this year. Namely the duty to take the chances offered to get a job.

On the Social Democrats’ party congress in May, he stated that it was important that school children do their homework, and watching Netflix.

In the closing party leader debate in Parliament a few weeks later berated him up the nation’s parents:

– But it is clear that then also every parent’s contribution important to show that the school is the most important the foundation of a good life.

Here in Almedalen he struck again stated that society should offer chances. To education, to training, to more and more modern skills. But the individual must take chances, manage society offers.

Löfven had even invented a new word. It’s called the development moralism and will, if I understand his associates right, describe the individual has a moral imperative to evolve itself. To keep up.

meaning is far from crystal clear. But it is a Löfvensk tradition. Does anyone remember what the example of “innovation catapult” is? Could not believe it.

Return to moralism. Why not use the old, and very clear, the S adage “Do your duty, demand your right”. It hung on Löfvens lectern and is much more comprehensible than “development moralism”.

In another issue had Löfven problems with words on Monday. Previously, he has had trouble distinguishing between democracies and dictatorships, and rather talked about non-democracies.

Now, asked the Swedish radio on China is a dictatorship. But so far wanted Löfven not go. He could go as far as to a one-party state (without free elections and a corrupt and politicized judiciary, editor’s note).

– The label leads nowhere. We want greater economic exchange with China, he said, among other things. Moral?

That policy is tjuveriets industry is nothing new. Good ideas knycks without any major concerns. It happens all the time.

But on Monday night, it was kind of funny that Stefan Löfven stole at least two issues of the representative Fredrik Reinfeldt (M).

One concerned description of ordinary decent people who go to work and do what they should. In Löfvens bottling is the “backbone of society”. Reinfeldt called them “community carriers”.

And the reinvention of the investment in teachers’ salaries, which heavily criticized by LO, is a variant of the Alliance’s first teacher. The difference is that in the S-Sweden get more teachers less money, about 3 000 more a month.

It is not so good for the Social Democrats in opinion. According to the latest survey from Sweden think is the support of over 27 percent, nearly four percentage points lower than in the election.

Therefore, Stefan Löfvens speech ideologically and turned to their own and potential sympathizers. There are those who will understand what government policy is about and how it all fits together. In this way, he wants to get them to speak well of the policy.

Therefore Löfven continued to nag about how jobs agenda, the one to give the EU’s lowest unemployment rate in 2020, looks. He does it right.

But it will be tough, he also said. There are many who subscribe to.
