Maybe we can get a thread going about what biographies you recommend to users of this subreddit? Both in English and in other languages.

I'm from Norway, but I follow Swedish politics closely. I was wondering if anyone here could give me a "view from the ground"? I listen to SR and read Aftonbladet online, but that can only get you so far.

Will "we" win? And how do you feel about potential coalitions, if so?

I often find myself returning to this fantastic essay by Judt. Wanted to share it here. It feels especially apt with the ongoing tension between Democratic Socialism and Social Democracy that often plays out in this subreddit.

The essay is from 2009 and is very much a text that needs to be read within its specific historical moment, but nonetheless, it goes to the heart of what Social Democracy is.

Too bad that he passed away in 2010. I am sure he would have had very interesting reflections on the rise of the far right in Europe. I also wonder how he would view the at times patchwork intellectual foundations of modern populist leftism.

Is he viewed favourably in Germany today? What opinion do German Social Democrats have of him?

Hvorfor skriver de så mange saker om Storo Senter? Er jo til tider som å lese direkte reklame for Storo Senter, nei, vent, Thon Senter Storo, sorry.

We will never forget you:
