Suecia: Socialdemocracia, Nazismo e Islam
Una de las cosas que menos me gustan del excelente bloguero Fjordman es la falta de estructura y de línea directriz de sus artículos. Dificulta mucho la comprensión del mensaje la acumulación de información sin una línea argumental declarada. Para mí esta claro: un artículo un tema, con introducción, desarrollo y conclusiones. Es eso lo que me sucede con lo que os traigo hoy. Mi reacción ante esa falta de organización es destacar algunas de las afirmaciones hechas e intentar dar con un título que las englobe, que en este caso es: Suecia, Socialdemocracia, Nazismo e Islam. Aquí va mi selección
Primero, Albin Hansson (foto), líder del Partido Socialdemócrata Sueco y Primer Ministro entre 1932 y 1946 mantuvo una correspondencia sostenida y muy cordial con Mussolini. Hansson elogia el sistema corporativo fascista italiano:
Marcos Cantera Carlomagno in 1995 published a PhD thesis at Lund University describing a series of letters sent by Per Albin Hansson, leader of the Social Democrats and Prime Minister between 1932 and 1946, who worked for the establishment of “Folkhemmet,” the People’s Home, as the Swedish welfare state model became known as. Hansson was a dear pen pal with Italy’s Fascist leader Mussolini and praised the corporate, Fascist system where the entire economy and each individual were intimately tied to and subordinate to the state. Hansson was positively disposed to Fascism and saw his welfare state as a related concept. After mentioning his work in a local newspaper, Carlomagno was called by his supervisor who stated in anger that his scholarship would be cut off. Carlomagno’s work was totally ignored by the entire media and political establishment in Sweden when it appeared in the 1990s.
Algunos pastores de la Iglesia de Suecia (sí, los protestantes acabaron tendido iglesias nacionales…) aplicaron leyes raciales nazis: los suecos que querían casarse con un alemán tenían que firmar una declaración en que negaban que el alemán tuviera abuelos judíos. Llama la atención que solo en 2006 lo publicara un periódico…
In 2006, the newspaper Dagens Nyheter reported that following recommendations from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, priests in the Swedish Church applied German race laws from 1937 onwards. According to Lund University’s Professor Anders Jarlert, who led the research, any Swede who wanted to marry an Aryan German was forced to sign an affirmation stating that none of the German’s grandparents were Jewish. History Professor Stig Ekman told DN that Sweden’s culture of silence and secrecy is one reason why this is appearing only now, generations later. In 1937, the Swedish government was controlled by the Social Democrats, yet despite this evidence that they applied Nazi race laws, party members still get away with denouncing critics of their immigration policies as neo-Nazis, racists or Fascists.
Gunnar Myrdal y su señora, [padres del “modelo sueco de bienestar” eran simpatizantes de los nazis y partidarios de la esterilización de los “débiles”.
In the book The New Totalitarians, the British historian Roland Huntford in the early 1970s pointed out that Socialist professor Gunnar Myrdal and his wife Alva, both highly influential ideologists in developing the Swedish welfare state, had intimate connections with the German academic world during the Nazi age. Gunnar Myrdal served as both a member of parliament and later as a government minister for the Social Democrats during this period. According to Huntford: “The professor was then a Nazi sympathizer, publicly describing Nazism as the movement of youth and the movement of the future. In Myrdal’s defence, it must be pointed out that, whatever his other propensities, Hitler did have advanced ideas on social welfare, and that the social ideology of the German Nazis and the Swedish Social Democrats had much in common. Until the mid 1930s, Nazism had considerable attractions for those who favoured a benevolent and authoritarian state.”
Gunnar and Alva Myrdal promoted the idea of positive eugenics and forced sterilization programs against those with “weak genes.” This started in Sweden even before Nazi Germany, and it continued longer.

Nos sigue contando que Adorno y la Escuela de Frankfurt fueron incapaces de ver la relación entre comunismo y nazismo, y consideraron a este una evolución del “capitalismo tardío”. Para ellos el Nazismo se nutría de la ideología conservadora y tradicionalista. Es curioso comprobar que la escuela de Frankfurt está llena de judíos, Adorno, Horkheimer, Benjamin… sería curioso ver su reacción al antijudaísmo de la izquierda actual, tan influida por ellos. Churchill, un “conservador belicista y autoritario” para los estándares de Adorno, comparó Main Kampf con el Corán: “adusto, grandilocuente, informe, pero insistente en la transmisión de su mensaje”. Bastante más lúcido que el pedante de Adorno, que puso océano por medio cuando las cosas se pusieron feas en Alemania.
