Åsa Linderborg around the left and crime

Bagatellization and perspective drive the working class to the right.

Connect them And throw the key away, dad as soon as the news reported about someone who got stuck for a murder or burglary.

What is to rob a bank against owning one? said mom.

In the seventies my mother supervisor was called a charming little thief Johnny. When he received leave from the kitchen, it was her task to ensure that Johnny did not escape what he liked.

– He just pulled that tuffle.

When I told Dad, he didn’t know if he would laugh or shout at the naivety of his ex -wife.

– Damn Dalt, was all he gone out.

The point is that Both were left. Mother was a member of the VPK on which Dad also voted. Both came from the working class, but Mama had followed a course and became an employee. She divorced and made a modest class journey, while the 68-left started to focus on all people that it is a shame.

IN Tanras The world could not be a punishment for mild (if it had no abuse of women). IN Leffes The world was not a punishment enough. He struggled like an animal on the metalwork, he did the right thing for himself, took responsibility, “while on the left protects the gossip that just goes with a lot of nonsense”.

Both of my parents turn around me while I follow the debate over Swedish gangriminality.

Tuesday the jury members for the torture goose on Laye And Mohamed. 18 people were involved, the youngest was 13 years old. Three received life imprisonment for the murder of Mohamed. When his mother called the police about her missing son, she got ice water in her ear in her ear.

I read Lisa Dos Santos Book “The House of the Gang” (Forum), about children who kill children and life as an public prosecutor. I read the police Luay Mohagebs Book “Fall Rucher” (Mondial), about how the middle class children become gangsters. I see Diamond salihus Documentary about SVT on how Foxtrot helvetet sabotaged the lives of as many minors as possible.

And I read the cultural pages, where you write a fiery defense for the gangster stairs (I do, although I would never dream of calling it “the new employee literature”). You set the text about racism and poverty as the only explanation. You can rarely read about the feelings that go through the body when you hear that a 15-year-old who has shot a pear laughs at his crime and those who will investigate it.

In Sweden is 200 children suspected of murder, at least. About 100 of them are less than 15 years. 1,700 under 18 are members of a criminal gang. Most have an immigrant background, but more and more white middle class children are attracted by fast money.

What to do about this?

Until now, all measures are about increasing the fine and lowering the age of criminal authority. Monitoring and control. Interception. Anonymous witnesses.

The Law Society protests that the measures threaten both legal security and personal privacy. Experts and researchers say that much has been tested in other countries and does not work. Nobody listens.

On the left also protests, but the liberals have been silenced. You do not win sympathy of “soft for crime”.

It has The Social -Democrats Making, which now says yes and Amen on everything that suggests the Tidö government. In “30 minutes” with Anders Holmberg It seems that Batong-Berta Carvalho Even I think of shopping of 600 prison places in Estonia. If anyone would ask her if Sweden should not re -introduce the death penalty, I fear the worst: “It is not optimal, but it is reasonable that we use all the tools in the toolbox.”

Left and its intellectuals change into pain. Legal certainty is a problem that honest people shit, until the day you happen. Everyone who needs human prison care offers a freak show. Everyone who gets the stone cake for racial profiling and hatred against poor blacks gets a glassy look in response. Anyone who cries that the “perpetrator is also a victim” (for capitalism, segregation, which is also) treated with contempt.

That is why Links would rather talk about something else – as if the crime is not ordinary people, that is, they have to try to reach.

To take a position Because the rag proletariat and the dangerous class is to take a position against the working class, arguing Johan SöderbergProfessor of science theory, in his book “Criticism of Underdogmetaphysics”, which was published a few years ago in Celander Förlag.

It was Michel Foucault With several who pulled the young down on the left in the marginalized swamp, because they saw the working class as a small bourgeois and loyal with capitalism. Against the consumption of consumption, the new links placed the criminal who, consciously or not, the majority of society and the prevailing order is revolutionary.

The Marxists on the left responded by arguing for one, with the terminology of Söderberg, historical materialistic criminology.

The historian EP Thompsonwho had roots in the working class himself, was one of those who responded to how the new links put in perspective, trivialized and romanticized crime and terror. He could not understand what Left had for interest in displaying the increased crime as in accordance and seriously exaggerated, or as an apology for the authorities to motivate racism and class. If you are quiet if the problem photo is allowed to monopolize the solutions and thus win the voices of the working class, because this is primarily the one who is affected by crime.

Thompson is doing well. Many who voted for Thatcher Wild life in a respectable society, where people do well for themselves and no one has to be afraid to be exposed to crime.

I am Tanjas Daughter and Leffes Jänten.

I write text about text about how market liberalism, which has now entered into a substantial authoritarian phase, throws legal security about tables. I never want to give a dollar to build a more equal society, which reduces the risk that children fall into crime.

But I also wear Dad’s anger. I tried to push it down long enough, but I don’t understand why. A link that annoys that people believe that crime is an important problem and sees it as evidence that the working class is fascistoid has no chance. At least with the immigrants who go to work every day.

Of course you can mention that welfare crime is worse – “Talk about the threatening crime of the system!” – But why can’t you talk about all the nonsense that torments the country?

But both Tanja And Leffe would agree with Johan Söderberg that freedom is something that we receive by recognizing each other. This is done by establishing standards, regulations, codes, laws and self -discipline.

When does that sink insight into today’s links?

This does not mean that the office of the public prosecutor, the rights and proposals of the Sosses with regard to crime and punishment, Vandel and Honority should be applauded. Neither do you have to sing along in all strange claims about what a real Swedish is. Many results divide the population only more and many reforms are successful in the air, the only surface they touch is the rule of law and it all loses.

But the solution for crime – and about the skepticism of the working class for the left – can hardly be that the left continues to squat or it is on something else.
