Karl Harmenberg @harmenberg.bsky.social · 13/07/2025Och i och med att jag på Facebook gjorde en slags åsiktsdeklaration kring Kaplan och Grå Vargarna för länge sedan kände jag en viss förpliktelse att skriva att jag förvisso står bakom den åsiktsdeklarationen men inte det laget (Fp/L) som jag då trodde var rätt för en sådan åsikt. 000
Karl Harmenberg @harmenberg.bsky.social · 13/07/2025Jo. Och Socialdemokraterna har en stark socialliberal ådra. För säg 20 år sedan kunde S, C, Fp och M med någon slags rimlighet hävda att de var arvtagare till JS Mill. Nu frånsäger sig L och M det arvet, och vi går tillbaka till att "vänstern" samlar socialister och liberaler. 110
