In the Stockholm suburb of Tumba the police decided to abandon their earlier non-intervention policy as a large group of police officers rounded up and dispersed a group of vigilantes trying to fend off rioters.

Swedes, your government is your main enemy. Apply the Solzhenitsyn Solution.

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.” — Alexandr Solzhenitsyn

Excellent post - I ‘m reading “The gulag archipelago “ right now.
That quote should be read in Congress before every discussion on gun control.

The Solzhenitsyn Solution reflected the personalization of the war between Ireland and England; it was what made Michael Collins so effective, and helped turn the tide, prompting England to consider a truce.

You find out where the leaders live, play, attend church, reach out and touch them, making them and their families a very real part of the world in which they work.

“The Gulag Archipelago” should be required reading for all
High School students. I am about 1/3 of the way into Volume II. It is amazing how much the Russians accepted as “the normal way” a new government should treat the citizens.
There is absolutely no way that Solzhenitsyn’s writings will ever be exposed to the “masses” here in the USA! No college or university would dare offer it as a course or even suggested reading.
As I read this work, I can’t help thinking that this is what is truly deserving of the Nobel Prize, not the flimsy reason the jerk in the white hut was given his prize for. Funny, I don’t remember exactly what the clown was honored for!
