Sweden’s prime minister on Thursday said that he’s summoned the head of the military to discuss how the armed forces can help police deal with an unprecedented crime wave that has shocked the country with almost daily shootings and bombings.

Getting the military involved in crime-fighting would be a highly unusual step for Sweden, underscoring the severity of the gang violence that has claimed a dozen lives across the country this month, including teenagers and innocent bystanders.

Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said that he would meet with the armed forces’ supreme commander and the national police commissioner on Friday to explore “how the armed forces can help police in their work against the criminal gangs.”

    “Socialists” can be fascists too, if they’re using government violence to quell dissent caused by government failure.

            Are they using violence to quell dissent generated from their failure to adequately represent their population? Your answer is the same as mine, if you’re honest.

                    Happy populations with all their needs met don’t have drug addiction, poverty, homelessness, or nearly as many impulsive violent crimes. Shit rolls downhill, but responsibility can never be delegated. The people at the top are responsible for every crime that happens within their borders because they declare what is illegal, they control the conditions, and they allocate resources to either supporting, imprisoning, enslaving, or murdering their dissident populations.
