Re: What says Wikipedia on comparative advantage? (none / 0)

Because we feel solidarity with each other but don't feel like being the social office of the entire planet?

Personally I have no problem with more European social and economic integration, but most Swedes would disagree with me. Especially those on the left.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.

That's because the Swedish left doesn't want to give up what they perceive as their absolute advantage vis-a-vis the rest of the EU. And the neoliberals don't feel any solidarity with anyone, that's the point of Free Trade™.

Bush is a symptom, not the disease.

No, it's because the Swedish left is full of insular people playing sillybuggers. Or rather, living it.

The neoliberals are pretty much the way you say, though the number of anti-EU libertarians (or libertarians at all) in Sweden can probably be counted on your fingers and toes.
