The Left Party did not remove communism from its name and party program in 1990 because they stopped being communists, nor because they wanted to. They removed the designation because the iron curtain fell and millions of people could suddenly openly explain how communism actually worked in practice. The party naturally knew this already, but the voters could be frightened by famine, persecution, and state control. When the Soviet Union also fell in 1991, it was the last nail in the coffin for the old hypocrites to express themselves openly as communists. Only a few of them have since flaunted their communist "proud" history, and one of them today is Ida Gabrielsson, the vice-chairperson of the party. Ida was only 8 years old when the wall fell and 9 when the Left Party changed its name, but at some point, she should have opened a history book, the same demand I place on anyone entering a party. All parties have had ridiculous historical representatives and connections, but the Left is the only party that for 74 years has driven the party in a genocide-friendly direction before they at least got scolded by the marketing department that it was time to clean up a bit. Their obvious susceptibility and naivety have surely had significant importance for clans that can step in and take over positions. What do you think? (translated)
