    Lots of legislative changes are enacted without mass mobilization, bomb attacks, ‘threats to capital’

    You can study the evolution of paternal and maternal leave in Sweden as a nice example. The Swedes didn’t have to bomb any Ikeas - they just consistently voted for the right politicians.

        I see you want to change the subject lol

        Do you think Sweden has a problem with low wages?

          I didn’t change the subject. I’m saying those right were earned by unions and not gifted by politicians.

          As somebody who lives and works in Sweden with a PhD in computer science, I had more disposable income when I washed dishes in NYC. So, yeah, I would say wages are pretty low.
