Sweden was the "go-between" country for the US banks funding of the Communist revolution in Russia and remains a safe haven for the International Marxists. Poor Belarus is being attacked now by the same Marxists with their "democracy" propaganda.

As the Bolshevik Rakovsky said, the flaws in "democracy" and "capitalism" will ultimately lead to revolution. That's why Marxists support democracy in their twisted, horrible minds.

Have you noticed that anyone who opposes the Marxists is called a "dictator"??!! Hypocrites!
