"Did there really stand between the more salable environmental issue and the help of those out there in our own rich country?"
(THIS ARTICLE IS MACHINE TRANSLATED by Google from Norwegian)
There are few political issues party leader Audun Lysbakken touches on in his book Freedom together: a new socialism for a new time, which came at the same time as SV's national meeting last weekend. One would almost think that SV's ambition is to take up the fight with the Labor Party to take the weak party. Now, not the weak party is the point here, but rather what attitude one has towards values versus material interests. For what is clear in the Lysbakken manifesto is that it is about human values - a human project – rather than other parties 'main focus on the country's oil revenues and citizens' wallets.
Thus, it is the SV that can be the party with the heart on the right side – a socialist left party. As Lysbakken writes about interest parties such as the Labor Party, the Conservative Party and the Green Party, or about «great power interests», it is important to pursue a «consistent policy, based on values and principles». You don't dilate on the United States or NATO when they want it.
The word greens is the beacon of threads – linked to «what we have grown up with ”,“ party values ”,“ greater values than money ”,“ the value of social equality ”,“ worthy relationships ”,“ equal education» "Value-boosting care for the elderly", "valuable time", "value creation", «secular values» and so on. It is clear what the cases Lysbakken mentions are based of. He professes himself as green, red and pink – for the environment, justice and equality and equality.

At the same time, he covers a wide range of 265 pages to cover most needs of the voters. It is also about SV's history for better or worse, about admirable achievements in politics, and about their lack of clarity and other mistakes. And about what one could not know, where political decisions are difficult to make – as with Libya. Something the National Assembly also pointed out and criticized its own party strongly for this weekend. But as Lysbakken writes in the book, we will «never knowing what would have happened if Gaddafi's forces had reached Benghazi». Had the tone been different around military intervention then? SV wanted to support the rebels' desire for democracy. But we, Lysbakken, and the rest of the world know how such intervention wars currently end, or never end. Lysbakken also criticizes how mobile phone decisions led Norway into the Libyan war, with Stoltenberg's willing fighter pilots, and asks that from now on it is the Storting that must be behind such decisions.
As Ny Tid used to be SV and SF's party newspaper, we see a weakness in SV's «Socialism for a new time». The and The thing is to take care of Welfare Norway, where many have a difficult day. The light tray gives generously to anyone who needs it when it comes to health / care, school services with or without school meals, kindergartens, poverty reduction, more for women and help for drug addicts – issues most people can agree on. Lysbakken also professes a technological optimism that can solve problems, and will delegate more confidence in ordinary workers' own decisions rather than bureaucratic control. One must be able to think soul. Thus both socialism and freedom. But why does SV party secretary Kari Elisabeth Kaski from the environmental organization Zero choose the more international and peace-oriented Ingrid Fiskaa? Was it really between the more salable environmental issue and the help of those outside our own rich country? Where did the international go? orienterings?
It is clear that the environmental issue is important – climate is also among the three K's that this newspaper is now based on. And, as Lysbakken writes, climate is often the cause of conflicts and the struggle for resources: "The climate crisis is constantly evolving [...] in all this new, cracking the global economy in the joints, burdened by the inequality and environmental crises it creates." Norway also has a responsibility as an oil nation for which environmental imprint we put outside the borders – and the book mentions that measures such as quota purchases and international price of CO2 do not work as intended. Lysbakken is demanding new forms of energy, and a green policy where the Oil Fund does not invest in environmentally damaging fossil energy.
The SV must be able to come up with alternatives – which they have also done many times, but have not had the power to implement towards their more interested political big brothers. SV must be the annoying little sister, Lysbakken writes. In that case, there must be a girl who can also be constructive, rather than the unilateral and resultless "No!"
SVs or Norway's value weakness, to get back to it, is international solidarity in a Norway that is increasingly concerned with itself. Even though Freedom together addresses how Muslims should be integrated into our country, that we do not face any sneak Islamization, and that Norwegian politics almost closes the borders of Syria's refugees – is not the ground as bright as suggested. The SV could today stand out more clearly as the internationally oriented peace party they once were, as a real alternative to militarization (see cases in this newspaper). It could have been an exemplary conflict-oriented peace party where both pacifists and international solidarity would come together. A party where the intervention wars of the time are unleashed, and the impunity introduced with the ideology of the security community. For our freedom to suppress the freedom of others is an unpleasant history the West has long led, and still leads.
It is possible that SV now frees up for a broader welfare-oriented layer of the population to get over the barrier limit of four percent. But had it had it been an even clearer internationally oriented party, a direction that the newspaper released from the SV has now moved in, they would probably have won back more of the internationally oriented solidarity voters.
That said, well describe the SV book Freedom together the most visionary and humanistic policy we can have at the moment.
