In Sweden we have a party called Vänsterpariet (The Left Party, duh!) that used to be the commies but don't call themselves that after the fall of the wall - although they still sport pictures of gentle and caring mass murderers such as Lenin in their offices. Go figure.
Anyway, the interesting thing is that this party has rather been kidnapped by extreme feminist nutcases and that the brunt of their hatred seems more directed toward men in general these days as opposed to being directed against anyone who could read in the past.
The Party Leader, Gudrun Schyman, a proud feminst and a heavy drinker who claims that she wasn't actually ever a commie, despite being a member of an extreme marxist-leninist association in her youth, has kindly decided to share her world-view with us in the form of beautiful poetry. I've decided to translate it so that the world at large appreciate the wisdom of a woman that holds 14% or so of the Swedish popular vote:
The male power elite
forms the future
with prejudice
and precision weapons.
The clinical war
is held at a premium.
All operations
are successful,
even when the patient dies.
They sow powerlessness
and reap victims of war.
Sorrow becomes hatred,
justice becomes revenge.
The song of women
is drowned by male commands.
-- * --
Time nips at my neck,
like a mad dog,
ever driven forward
by men in war clothes.
designed by
Bush and Blair.
Tens of thousands of innocent people
flee from the cities of Afghanistan.
Women and children and elderly.
In the shrouds that that protect against
sun and sand,
they try to protect themselves
from the mad dogs.
The male power elite of the world
preferes to dress in
Bush's and Blair's bombs.
Civilians become "victims"
only when they're dead.
Women all over the world,
weave the protective veils
of restraint.
No, it doesn't rhyme or scan in Swedish either. And it sounds just about as bad as well. It's a mad, mad world, it is.
Swedes wanting to check this out for themsleves, in case you think I make this up - and who could blame you? - can check the following link where you can find all of the above and then some.
Enjoy!
