2010 Om socialdemokraterna i Sverige och EUMed anledning av ett befängt påstående
Hej U.
"Young Bruno Kreisky, who a quarter century later would be Chancellor Kreisky, spent most of World War II in exile in Stockholm. The Nazis then governed Austria, and they were utilizing Austria's people and its material resources as military assets of their thousand-year Reich. The Austrian social democrats living in exile during World War II had a lot to think about, and several controversial issues to debate. The socialists had held power briefly in Austria when the First Republic emerged in 1918 from the ashes of the defeated Austro-Hungarian Empire.[4] Social democracy was a contender in Austrian politics and master of the municipal government of "Red Vienna" from 1919 until 1934.[5] In 1934 democracy was crushed, and with it social democracy, by an Austrian fascist regime supported by Benito Mussolini's fascist Italy. The anti-socialist majority in interwar Austria had been led by the Christian Social Party (the "blacks") which later became the Fatherland Front of 1934-1938 supporting Austrian fascism, which itself was crushed in 1938 when Hitler annexed Austria to the Reich. In a plebiscite held in April 1938, 99.7 percent of the Austrian people approved union with Germany and accepted Hitler as their leader (Bukey 2000: 34-38). It could be argued, and was argued, that the failure of social democracy to mobilize popular discontent for constructive purposes had led in Austria (and in other countries) to the rise of fascism and Nazism, as it could also be argued that earlier, social democracy's failure to mobilize the masses of Russia had led to the October Revolution and the rise of Communism. The Austrian social democrats in exile debated whether they had been too reformist, or too revolutionary, too wedded to peaceful and democratic means, or not peaceful and democratic enough (Sully 1982: 69-93). It could also be debated whether social democracy had, or had not, in the few times and spaces that history had so far offered it (such as 1919-1934 in "Red Vienna"), demonstrated a feasible economic alternative, which was neither free market capitalism nor a totalitarian command economy, and which worked." (Ur kapitel 9, som handlar om "Karl Popper's Vienna")Jag ska som sagt försöka fundera vidare på socialdemokratin... men det här få räcka för denna gång.
