I find it fascinating that they have no legislation about workers rights. I am curious if any Swedes could inform me how the "conservative" style movements are doing in Sweden.
Well, I guess I have two thoughts on that. For one, what you're probably thinking of is seen as basically qanon freaks. The other is that of course there's a political right, and of course there is a social conservative current.
The right has traditionally been a coalition of liberals and conservatives, but the Christian conservatives are actually Christian. (They command a certain degree of respect, even though I don't agree)
As for the social conservatives, they're to a large degree absorbed by either the traditional social democrats (or "total autocrats" as I like to call them) or the nazis.
The WHAT?
Yes. The left was so busy suppressing racism (real) that they made it basically impossible to have adult conversation about the problems inherent in eliminating low-education jobs and, at the same time, accepting a lot of illiterate refugees. And as the reality of taking from the middle class boomers (who strongly identify as working class) to fund the result, the nazis were there, and they're scary huge now.
Idk, there's a lot to unpack and explain here, and I'm sure others have other angles, so I'll leave it at that.
