What do people make of the invisible party in sweden.

It became victory for the radical left in public swedish television,

SVT, in the realityshow "Toppkandidaterna" (Topcandidates). This year it

is election year in Sweden and bacause of this this realityshow have taken place.

Six candidates have in six weeks competed against each other for a price

of 250 000 crowns (about 32 260 US dollars) that will go to political

projects. The candidates have been running their own election campaign

for their projects and at the same time gone threw political training in

rhetoric, mediatraining and debateexercise.

Five of the candidates were very close to the political parties in their

views but the sixth candidate, Petter Nilsson*, was special. Since Petter

Nilsson is an activist and used from the radical left and used the

program as a platform to steal the agenda and to show other ways to

pursue politics than the established. An uncontrolleble politics from

below that is not about political representation but about classtruggle,

antagonism and direct action.

In the finale episode the 12 of mars a telephone voting were carried

out, where in the först voting four of the candidates where eliminated.

In the second and finale voting Petter went up against Hannes Sjöblad, a

candidate who was ideologicly close to the neoliberal organisation

Timbro. On its homepage they say "Timbro is a think-tank devoted to

innovating economic and social policies founded on free-market

principles". The right against the left. Petters campaign for

workingclass struggle, filesharing and marxist theory against Hannes

campaign for hardline drugpolicy. Classtruggle against drugdog.

It became Petter that got the peoples support and won with 57,8% of the

votes against Hannes 42.2% of 33 195 votes he won despite the jury and

the other topcandidates attempt to associate the radical lefts campaign

with extremism, violence and antidemocratic methods. Attempts to defame

did not work on the voters that choose to give their support to the

radical antagonist classpolitic.

- Thank everyone from me. It is our victory, I did nothing on my own.

The resistance is now faceless again, says Petter.

Petter won. But it is not over now. On the opposite, it is now it starts

for real. Syndicalist youth association is about to launch, together

with the other radical left, the campaign The Invisible Party that will

explode on first of may: a campaign that is a common name for all the

struggles we daily pursue on our workingplaces, in our unemployment or

in our schools. With money from SVT the The invisible Party budget (40%

of the money , 100 000 crowns) will now get a real push and it will be

possible to spread our struggles in a wider scale. The publishing house

Roh-nin have two books that are waiting for publication, and have now

got the finances (40% of the money, 100 000 crowns) right and will be

able to get in for printing the next few months. And the Piratebay will

be able to buy new servers (20% of the money, 50 000 crowns) for one of

the largest bittorrent-trackers in the world, one of the most known

kinds of filesharing on the internet.

So it is now the work begins, and it is not Petter that will pursue it,

not more than any other of us, together in our anticapitalist struggle.

The movement of daily classstruggle, that our power come out of, have

gotten an economical injection that make it possible to take the

struggles to a new level, to communicate them, spread them, spread them.

No one will miss this during this spring. Now, once again, it is up to

us. Our practise is the The Invisible Party, a party that you can not

support but only take part in, by taking your life seriously and fight

from our social situation. We have already made our choise.

Hi!

...I can also tell you that the swedish autonomous left has won 250 000 crowns to spend on political projects that we do. We won this in a competition arranged by the swedish public service television (a so called documentary soap opera) and plans are now being made on how to spend all of it on a campaign called the invisible party (osynliga partiet) that SUF is taking part in! It is a lot of about faceless resistance and is planned to evolve and reach a peak around the time of the swedish election in september.......[I've cut out the irrelvant bits]

Yesterday, Stockholm city had its returning recrutingdays at the

culturehouse. These days are all about telling the unemployed that it is

their own fault that they are unemployed and to give some tip-offs about

how flexible you should be (what shitty working condition you should

agree on) to get a job today.

Also the Invisible Party* attended to give our picture of it all; our

own explanation to what unemployment depend on and what you can do to

fight for your right, even as an unemployed. We gave out 500 flyers and

the response was good, very many remarked that the workhumiliation is

just what it is about and some staff from the employment service said

that they agreed with us and that their situation is just getting worse

and worse. Some minor trouble with watchmen led to a funny discussion

about how you can see on someone if s/he is an unemployed on her/his way

to a trade fair, since they meant that we stole "their customer"

The flyers also invited to unsecured wednesdays that we will be having

ones a month where unemployed will be able to buy cheap coffee, get to

meet competent legal experts and unionrepresentatives abd get to getter

to talk about their situation.
