Kh. 10 December 1964 No 437 RECORD OF A CONVERSATION with the correspondent of the Swedish Communist Party newspaper “Ny Dag” KARL SHTAF 28 November 1964 Today I met with Karl Shtaf and had a conversation with him. Shtaf said that he returned a week ago from Sweden where he spent his holiday. On the way to Sweden he had a stopover in Prague where he met with a member of the CC of the Argentinian Communist Party, Giudici, who in a conversation with him noted that during [his] visit to Cuba he had talked with Ernesto Guevara about various issues of Party-building, the international Communist movement, etc. Guevara, in Shtaf’s words, said to Giudici that as whole the leadership of the YePSRK supports the position of the USSR, but cannot say this aloud since there are individuals in the National Leadership of the Party who are closer to the position of the Chinese Communist Party. Guevara reportedly also said that if anyone in the leadership expressed open support of the CPSU there would be a split in the Party, as has taken place in other Communist parties, and the Cubans will not go that far. As regards the situation in the Swedish Communist Party, my interlocutor said that “they’re making a mess” in the Communist Party of Sweden (Shtaf speaks some Russian). The majority of members of the CC headed by the Chairman of the Communist Party, Hermansson, as far as he knows, are speaking in favor of following a so-called independent Party policy. The first step in this direction, said Shtaf, would be for the Party leadership not to plan to send Communists this year to socialist countries for study at higher Party schools. It has decided to train Party cadre in Sweden [u sebya], having organized a school near Stockholm for this purpose. In the opinion of my interlocutor Hermansson is talking right now about the independence of the Party, reportedly to show other parties, having earlier called the Swedish Communist Party “Moscow’s stooge,” their independent line. Ordinary members of the Communist Party, especially those in the workers’ ranks, Shtaf stressed, do not approve the position taken by the leadership. The rest of the conversation was not worth recording. Attache of the USSR Embassy in Cuba [signature] V. Man’ko [Handwritten note at the bottom of the page]: “Note.

    Little Red Sweden in Ukraine – the 1930s Comintern project in Gammalsvenskby Soon the brothers will see the East in the Gold Swedish Communist Party’s slogan May Day 1931 ANDREJ KOTLJARCHUK The history of Gammalsvenskby offers a unique opportunity to investigate totalitarian political techniques in the twentieth century. The Swedish agricultural colony on the bank of the river Dnipro, not far from its fall into the Black Sea, is the only Scandinavian settlement in Eurasia. The church of Gammalsvenskby was the first Lutheran parish in the Azov and Black Sea territories. It functioned from 1782 to 1929. They owned the plots they cultivated and as foreign colonists they had a considerable degree of self- government in the Russian Empire and Soviet Ukraine.1 Recent research shows that the colonists of Gammalsvenskby had a high degree of ethnic self-consciousness. They considered themselves Swedes and spoke Swedish fluently in its dialect and standard form.2 Since the middle of the nineteenth century the inhabitants of the village were in continuous contact with the Kingdom of Sweden and ethnic Swedes of the Grand Duchy of Finland. A number of Swedish cultural institutions (e.g., school, new church, library and choir) were erected or founded thanks to 1 Svetlana Bobyleva, “Shvedy i gosudarstvennaia vlast Ukrainy,” in Voprosy germanskoi istorii, ed.

    fascism 8 (2019) 9-35 brill.com/fasc The Fascist Who Fought for World Peace: Conversions and Core Concepts in the Ideology of the Swedish Nazi Leader Sven Olov Lindholm Johan Stenfeldt Dept of History, Lund University, Sweden [email protected] Abstract This article deals with the political conversion and ideological thought of the Swedish National Socialist Sven Olov Lindholm (1903–1998). Lindholm began his career as a fas- cist in the twenties, and became a member of Sweden’s main National Socialist party led by Birger Furugård, in the early thirties. Ideological divisions and a failed attempt to oust Furugård saw Lindholm found his own party in January 1933, the nsap (later renamed the sss). Previous research has often described this party as a left-wing Nazi alternative, but its ideological basis has never been thoroughly dissected. The present article uses a variety of archival collections, speeches, pamphlets, and newspaper ar- ticles to suggest a cluster of six interdependent core concepts in Sven Olov Lindholm’s ideological thought: anti-Semitism, anti-capitalism, anti-imperialism, anti-material- ism, the idealization of the worker, and the definition of Nazi Germany as a worker’s state. Lindholm underwent a second political awakening in the sixties, redefining him- self as a communist, and thus the article also examines the ideological remains there- after. It is found that anti-materialism, linked to a broad antipathy to modernity, was central throughout his career.

  • Socialistiska Partiet Och Spanska Inbördeskriget
    1 Ur Arkiv 6 1974 Bernt Kennerström Socialistiska partiet och spanska inbördeskriget – den problematiska principfastheten I nr 4 av Arkiv publicerades Claes-Göran Jönssons analys av SKP:s roll i den svenska spanienrörelsen. Av hans artikel framgick det klart både hur framgångsrikt SKP bedrev sitt arbete och hur betydelsefullt det var för sammanhållningen och moralen inom partiet. Till detta finns det en relativt okänd men mycket intressant motsida: Socialistiska Partiets (SP) förhållande till det spanska inbördeskriget. Gentemot SKP:s folkfrontsinspirerade linje utvecklade SP en vänsterkritik, som förordade revolution i Spanien, vägrade stödja den demo- kratiska borgerligheten mot den fascistiska och krävde, att arbetarklassen skulle ställa sig neutral i denna konflikt. I denna framställning skall vi närmare studera innehållet i SP:s linje samt analysera de följder den fick för partiets ställning i Sverige och för den inre samman- hållningen. Som vi ska se av det följande var förhållandet till spanska inbördeskriget en stor och uppslitande fråga inom SP. Man bör dock hålla i minnet, att detta inte uteslutande berodde på frågan som sådan utan mycket på att den sammanföll med den akuta fasen av den partikonflikt, som i mitten av maj 1937 ledde till Kilboms och Emil Anderssons uteslutning ur partiet. I spanienfrågan kanaliserades i själva verket den interna partikonflikten, därav både intensiteten och häftigheten. Vapenexport eller neutralitet Tiden från det svenska valet 1936 fram till SP:s sprängning i maj 1937 inföll i en period, där den europeiska politiska arenan präglades av en stor fråga, det spanska inbördeskriget. Bak- grunden till inbördeskriget är välkänd och har skildrats i flera större arbeten1, varför den bara helt kortfattat behöver beröras här.

Någon verklig uppgörelse med det förflutna blev det dock aldrig fråga om.

  • The Social Democrats and the Communist Movement During and After World War II
    The Social Democrats and the Communist Movement during and after World War II The text will give an account of the ideological development of the communists in Sweden during and after World War II. During this time, the peaceful transition to socialism was introduced and the party revised its attitude towards Social Democracy and the bourgeois state, which have had long-term effects on the workers’ movement in Sweden. The role of the Social Democrats will also be analyzed and commented upon, so as to dispel myths and misconceptions concerning them. After the war, the Social Democrats had taken command of Swedish capitalism and strengthened its ties with the Swedish capitalists and imperialists. Unfortunately, it is not possible to paint a complete picture of the developments during this time, as it would require much more work, but we want to highlight certain aspects of the period, so as to draw some conclusions. The economic and political policy of the Social Democrats The real wages of the workers had plummeted during the war – in fact, the government had introduced a freeze to the wages in 1942. Because of the constant attacks on the wages of the workers, the wages had been frozen on an already low level, which left a lot of workers frustrated and fueled demands for increases in wages. At the same time, the level of exploitation of the workers had increased through increases in the intensity of the work. These factors allowed the communists to organize and lead 130 000 metal workers in a strike for wage increases.
