Is Fascism Returning?

Den underbare landsförrädaren - Kultur - Göteborgs-Posten: "Nordisk litteratur låter sig inte historieskrivas utan att Knut Hamsuns litterära geni får en glansroll. Samtidigt består det skandalösa faktumet att han också var landsförrädare - i ett Norge där fosterländskheten närmast är ett nationellt patent. Hamsun var nazist. Han föraktade England och beundrande Hitler"

It seems from the above article that Göteborgs-Posten doesn't take a firm stance against fascism. Neutrality! They set, like the Norwegians, art in front of a clear political choice. In my experience fascism is clandestine nowadays and it is therefore important to know that it is contained. When people write articles that doesn't take a firm stance against fascism, it is worrisome.

I brought Hamsun up earlier from an article in The Jerusalem Post. However, it can be discussed, as does Van Reis, if art has precedence over morals. If you make up an example where a superb athlete in the interview after an achievement says that he likes violence to coerce people, most people would not like this person. Perhaps some people think violence is OK if you don't talk about it. I certainly don't. I think it is more cowardly to remain silent--"I know nothing".

In Sweden there is apparently a good memory of the atrocities performed by the right-wing fascists but not by the left-wing fascists. The social democracy apparently has a soft spot for the methods of Mother Russia. Being liberated from the Nazis in 1945 the Norwegians seemed healthy enough but now, not so many years later, they celebrate a talented nazi. For a person with my experience it is natural to ask if not the Swedes are in greater trouble even than the Norweigians. There was no occupation in Sweden by Nazi Germany. Some people wondered why?
