Sweden was once considered an enviable utopia.
Sweden was not just ABBA, Bullerbü and Köttbullar.
It was a model country because it was peaceful, prosperous and carefree.
Many leftists saw an example in Sweden that needed to be emulated.
For a long time, Sweden had a very generous asylum policy and, even before the refugee crisis, took more refugees per capita to other countries. As a result of the refugee crisis of 2015, Sweden has received an above-average number of refugees per capita. Somewhat more than 10 million people live in Sweden. Nevertheless, that small country has taken in more than over 200,000 people. That's 20 % more per capita than Germany recorded. [1] [2] [3]
Sweden offers generous social benefits. The goal is among other that the origin or the income does not limit the professional future. In addition, Sweden offers an essential care for nationals and tolerated persons. [4] However, this policy bears too little fruit. According to the OECD, Sweden has the largest employment gap between native Swedes and immigrants. With increasing automation, the demand on employees will grow, so the gap will increase rather than decrease in the future. [5]
There are also disappointing imbalances in crime. Half of all rapes are committed by immigrants. And even if socio-economic conditions are taken into account, immigrants from Africa and the Middle East are dramatically over-represented. [6] Meanwhile, the Swedish government lists so-called vulnerable areas where crime is above average. And even if socioeconomic conditions are taken into account, immigrants from Africa and the Middle East are also dramatically overrepresented. Meanwhile, the police warns that they are increasingly losing control. [7] [8] International attention got the topic when in August 2018 teens have lit countless cars in Gothenburg on fire. [9] [10]
Sweden is not and has never been a NATO member. Nevertheless it suffered with the terrorist attack in Stockholm in 2017 what is often referred to as the consequence of the NATO wars. Five people died among them Ebba Akerlund whose image went around the world. The perpetrator is the Uzbek Rakhmat Akilov who was motivated by IS information. [11] According to official figures, the number of jihadists in Sweden has risen from 200 in 2010 to 1,000 in 2017. [12]
Meanwhile the public opinion has changed. 49 % of Swedes believe that immigration is the EU's main problem outperformed only by Denmark with 53 %. 44 % of Swedes believe that immigration is Sweden's most important problem outperformed by no polled country. [13] Meanwhile feminist politician Barbro Sörman says Swedish men rape by choice, migrants rape by ignorance. [14]
The inaction towards these problems and the unwillingness of other politicians to address them is the fertile ground on which the opposition thrived. The last election was for the immigration-critical Sweden Democrats with almost 20 %. [15] And since that election the now fragmented parliament has not managed to form a government. [16]
Sweden's great social experiment has failed. Immigration has led to Sweden importing major social and economic problems. Sweden is thus an abundantly clear example to other countries and a lesson for all leftists in how inadequate their ideas and believes are. And if not even Sweden can solve the problems then other states will probably be even less capable. The question remains however why other immigration-critical parties do not mention the example of Sweden much more frequently.
