Social Democratic Left Party of Sweden (Swedish: Sverges Socialdemokratiska Vänsterparti, SSV) was a political party formed in 1921, after a split from the main SSV.
When the original SSV approved the 21 thesis of the Communist International and thus changing name to SKP (Communist Party of Sweden) in 1921, an anti-ComIntern minority were expelled and founded their own "SSV". This "SSV" existed between 1921 and 1923. The leader of this party was Ivar Vennerström. "SSV" participated in two elections, the parliamentary elections of 1921 and the municipal election in 1922. In 1923, they merged with the social democrats.
Västerbottens Folkblad, a newspaper published in Umeå, was then a publication of this tendency. Today, it is a social democratic magazine.

“To rescue from oblivion even a fragment of a language which men have used and which is in danger of being lost—that is to say, one of the elements, whether good or bad, which have shaped and complicated civilization—is to extend the scope of social observation and to serve civilization.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“The idea that you can merchandise candidates for high office like breakfast cereal—that you can gather votes like box tops—is, I think, the ultimate indignity to the democratic process.”
—Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)
“The revolution as we call it is not necessarily an uprising in the streets or the old business of seizing power. Though the Left has always imagined it was. The revolution is change. Not merely rearrangement, but a deep emotional type of transformation that must also take place inside us. It’s a better way to live.”
—Kate Millett (b. 1934)
““It is with Love as with Cuckoldom”Mthe suffering party is at least the third, but generally the last in the house who knows any thing about the matter.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
