Mir Bal is a social worker and leftist in Sweden.  He was a co-host of "For a Lost Cause," a Swedish Marxist podcast.    We discuss the history of the Swedish Social Democrats, the actual politics of the Sweden Democrats,  and many misconceptions North Americans may have about Nordic countries in general and Sweden in particular.

Corrections: There is an error when we talk about economic scale.  While both are often listed as the 11th world economy in scale the indicators for determination must have been different, the GDP comparison was way off.  Russia's is around 1.4 trillion USD, Sweden about 600+ billion. Even this is confusing for relative wealth though: GDP per capita in Sweden is significantly higher 50K per person vs 20K per person.

I also said Noriega and meant Daniel Ortega.

Parker and I will discuss the situation in the DSA after the Bowman affair and the loss of nearly 1/5 of the membership since the DSA convention. We may debate the implications of the second international strategy for the DSA, and why people may or may not want to join in.

Note: This is from early February 2022.  We don't discuss recent controversies in the DSA such as the BSD committee scandal and the NPC's response or the resigned NPC resignations.  I also should admit that I am highly skeptical of the DSA, and this interview did not change my opinion.
