When I was at Uni in the 90s, it was a cool political acknowledgement to make that 'the socialist experiment was dead.' Well, forget that rot. It's not. Just come to Scandinavia. . . or if you can't do that, just listen to Monika Zetterlund sing, Var blev ni av, ljuva drömmar om en rimligare jord?
Here is the last verse, and my crappy translation:
Var blev ni av, ljuva drömmar om en rimligare jord?
Ett nytt sätt att leva? Var det bara tomma ord?
Var är han nu, våra frihetsdrömmars junker Morgonröd?
Han rör ju på sig, så han är nog inte riktigt död....
What has become of you, wonderful dream of a fairer world?
A new way to live? Was it just empty words?
Where is he now, our dreams of freedom in red?
He moves himself, so he is not really dead...
Socialism o muerte!!!
