00:00It's very sad to see Sweden, a society that used to be, you know, very solidaric, very generous,
00:07where we used to take care of one another, you know, turn on one another.
00:11How many refugees at your home? How many?
00:14Excuse me, if I may finish. Sorry, you've had enough time, sir.
00:17How many? How many is at your apartment? How many did you take?
00:21Excuse me. Can I continue, please?
00:24Please.
00:24If you tell us how many refugees you have at your apartment.
00:28Can I continue, please?
00:29Dominique, just let Kaiser finish, and then I want to turn it over to Natalie.
00:32So everyone, we're going to keep this nice and balanced.
00:34Kaiser, finish up, and then I'll turn it over to Natalie.
00:36Yeah, so we've had recently, we've had school shootings.
00:40We've had, yeah, terrible problems that I think this rhetoric that the far right is whipping up
00:46might have something to do with it.
00:48I also do think the left is a bit to blame, and I want to comment on something Natalie said.
00:54She said that maybe what's going to happen with the success of the far right
00:58is that, oh, we're all going to turn to the old traditional parties.
01:01And I see that as a danger, too, because neither of those forces are able to even out the major
01:09class differences and the major gaps that have arisen after neoliberalism.
01:15Neither is actually able to tackle neoliberalism, because both the far right and the traditional
01:21parties, both conservative and social democrats, are tied to neoliberalism and are tied to keeping
01:27those major class differences and this, you know, absurd wealth where like one or two percent
01:33of the country have billions.
