In 1987 the Swedish socialdemocratic party that had governed most of the previous 80 years, abandoned the full employment goal for a low inflation goal that caused double digit unemployment

In 1998 two neonazi gangs got together and formed the neonazi Sweden democrats. Uniforms and all.

Over time varying administrations of social democratic, and right wing coalitions lowered taxes and public spending and created a growing list of millionaires and billionaires, as well as a wiped out class of poor people in social immobility and organised crime.

In 2010 the Sweden democrats joined the parliament with an evolved, softer neofascist sound. So it took 23 years from the neoliberal course change to fascists in parliament. From general trust between people, to growing distrust and outright fear of the other.

Twelve years later in the 2022 election they were the second largest party after the social democrats, and are now the deciding finger on the scales of the conservative administration that would have to resign without them.

Neoliberalism fait accompli.
