The party he’s talking about, which split off from the Red Party over Ukraine, states in its own words,

Norwegian weapons in Ukraine contribute to lengthening the suffering by delaying necessary peace negotiations. Peace and Justice wants to spend the 180 billion kroner that the parties in parliament want to spend on continuing the war in Ukraine, on improving people’s lives rather than taking more of them. The war began due to NATO’s goal of incorporating Ukraine as a member, and can be stopped by abandoning this goal.

“Putinists.”

[…] Green Party. […] Library socialist.

Welp, guess it figures that this is the type of person who can somehow reconcile an ideology he probably only heard about from a YouTube video by a certain Trinidadian fellow, with being a member of a green capitalist party that wants Norway to join the EU (for the sake of green capitalists’ profit).

    That seems a bit immature and incurious to me, just because it’s an idea originating from a “utopian leftist” podcast. Really, library socialism isn’t that difficult or even strange an idea — in hindsight it strikes me as maybe a bit “reinventing-the-wheel-y” but it basically just means doing for any commodity what we already do with books in libraries, i.e. treating libraries as a model for what property abolition could look like.

      This has all happened before.

      I just don’t care about the new terms, because the idea isn’t new, it’s marketing.

      It’s like when fascists tried to rebrand at patriotic socialists… just for a good goal instead.

      Say what you mean and want.
