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.
Famous quotes containing the words social, democratic, left and/or party:
“Nearly all the Escapists in the long past have managed their own budget and their social relations so unsuccessfully that I wouldn’t want them for my landlords, or my bankers, or my neighbors. They were valuable, like powerful stimulants, only when they were left out of the social and industrial routine.”
—Willa Cather (1876–1947)
“One reason—perhaps the chief—of the virility of the Roosevelts is [their] very democratic spirit. They have never felt that because they were born in a good position they could put their hands in their pockets and succeed. They have felt, rather, that being born in a good position, there is no excuse for them if they did not do their duty by the community.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“We raised a simple prayer
Before we left the spot,
That in the general mowing
That place might be forgot;
Or if not all so favored,
Obtain such grace of hours
That none should mow the grass there
While so confused with flowers.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“It is well-known what a middleman is: he is a man who bamboozles one party and plunders the other.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
