The questions that were raised are legitimate and they should be directed to Jonas, but I was curious about why a conservative would have resigned from Project 2025 and I never censor people I interview because I don’t agree with their position on an issue or on every issue. My opinion is he’s a smart guy worth hearing out, but that doesn’t mean, he shouldn’t be criticized, just like the rest of us.

I will respond to all questions.

Interesting… Project 2025 and Palme’s economic, social, foreign, and environmental policies have absolutely no overlap whatsoever. Palme is a classic progressive- even committed in the early 70’s to gender equality! He’d hate every single page of project 2025 and the drivel of shite that came out of the Florida standard.

This guy sounds extremely confused. I wonder if the LGBTQ thing got him so rattled he lost his mind? We all know what that means… just try it Jonas!! Suppression of one’s true self is toxic!

Hi Lesley, despite your clown behavior I will respond to the part of your post that I find being a legitimate question.

You have a very superficial understanding of the Swedish Social Democratic Party, its ideology and political practice. The fact is that Palme, along with his predecessors and colleagues, came out of military intelligence and remained profoundly connected to that world.

At its core, the Social Democratic party -- until the time Palme was assassinated -- was a nationalist ("deep state") project serving as the political arm of Swedish power consolidation and domination in weapons development (Saab, Bofors) and global technology leverage (Ericsson, ABB).

It served Sweden well to promote a more egalitarian social structure, and it also meant business operated more efficiently. Palme did go off-script here and there, but he was quite rapidly reined in by the party machine.

I hope that brings you some deeper context to things.

The "transgender" stuff got him into the 2025 project? This is interesting, but our interview subject seems given over to some magical thinking of his own.

I don't think you read the piece properly. If you have a real question, I'd be happy to answer.
