What if governance wasn’t about Left or Right, but about what actually works? Logicism is a model for efficiency, reason, and economic sustainability. Read the full article here =>

Landmass as size do not play in. Wars are ultimately won or lost by who can finance production, logistics, and sustainment the longest. Here Russia is dwarfed: ~$1.5T vs Europe’s $19T

On the other hand. Russia has ~6,000 nuclear warheads, the most in the world! preventing Europe from real action.

🇪🇺💸 EU to invest $600B in the U.S. is BS, and the U.S. keeps a 15% import tariff on EU goods.

This isn’t a trade deal. It’s stupid!

“We tax your exports You build our factories”

Logic? None. No deal be better than this

Institutions know #TSLA’s story is hype. Should be at $50!

It’s calculated greed. A market that rewards hype, ignores fraud, and outsources risk to retail investors isn’t a free market

It’s a legalized pump-and-dump scheme with pension funds in the middle!

#Musk

Mattias Bergström | Logicism Promotor @thoughtfull.bsky.social · Jul 20

Why isn’t #TSLA at $50?

They miss delivery targets, lose tax breaks, margins tank, and Musk’s busy playing politician.
Insane that the market still buys the cult. When the story breaks, it’s not a correction. It’s a collapse.

They said ‘you’re entitled to your opinion’ and turned that into ‘you’re entitled to your own facts’ This is not free speech

It’s weaponized bullshit.

And if you’re waiting for the media to fix it… you’re the mark

You can not beat propaganda by trusting the system

You beat it by being louder

Mattias Bergström | Logicism Promotor @thoughtfull.bsky.social · Jul 20

If propaganda is a firehose, truth should not be a trickle.

Americas info war is not Left vs Right, it is Manipulation vs. Reality.

The First Amendment protects your right to speak, It doesn’t protect their right to deceive on national TV

In every age, dragons hoard gold.
In ours, they hoard compound interest.

Their fire? Lobbyists, lawyers, loopholes.

We don’t need a hero with a sword.
We need a system with logic.
A wealth tax is Sigurd for our age.

Every government regulates labor, trade, even savings rates

Yet they tiptoe around the “right to hoard” pretending compound interest is a natural law instead of a political choice!

Labor is taxed. Trade is taxed
But wealth grows tax-free forever

A rational system taxes compound interest at scale

Mattias Bergström | Logicism Promotor @thoughtfull.bsky.social · Jul 20

The logic is brutally simple
- Compound interest grows wealth exponentially
- Labor and GDP grow linearly (at best)

Without limits accumulated wealth will always outpace economic growth concentrating power, distorting markets, and undermining democracy

Social democracy isn’t socialism, it is capitalism upgraded. The market stays, but society gets: healthcare, education, labor rights, safety nets

So why resist it? Because power fears accountability. It’s not utopia. It’s maintenance. And the US is decades overdue

Will we now finally see the #Tesla share price be correct to the less than $50 that it should be? That the cars are not selling = no effect. Exposing #Musk as a Nazi did nothing. Maybe losing the subsidy’s keeping the company alive finally will!

Mattias Bergström | Logicism Promotor @thoughtfull.bsky.social · Jun 28

Logicism ≈ Social Democracy 2.0

Not ideology System logic

Markets are good if society is strong Public health, education, transit, AI policy optimized, not politicized

It’s not left. It’s not right
But evidence+math-based governance

Everyone talks about saving the market
No one talks about saving society

But here’s the truth:
-A broken society creates a broken market.
-Only when everyone contributes and thrives can markets work at scale.

Social Democracy is about society & market that work

Mattias Bergström | Logicism Promotor @thoughtfull.bsky.social · Jun 28

Social Democracy comes from capitalism with a conscience.

It says:
-The market is brilliant.
-But the Market has needs of Stability, Educated Workers, infrastructure

Let the market thrive in a society that works for all the people

Gunnar Myrdal and his wife Alva designed the Swedish welfare state, Social Democracy and won the Nobel Prize for proving that freedom and equality aren’t opposites. They are co- dependent

Social Democracy wasn’t born in Moscow It was born in Stockholm, with logic, evidence, and human dignity.

Mattias Bergström | Logicism Promotor @thoughtfull.bsky.social · Jun 28

You’ve heard of Marx
You’ve heard of Milton Friedman
But you’ve never heard of Gunnar Myrdal and that’s why your politics are broken

Myrdal didn’t believe in revolution or laissez-faire myths
He believed in systems thinking

-Capitalism creates wealth
-But without fairness, it devours itself

Lots of people seem to think that Social Democracy is Socialism

Socialism was born from Marx communism

Social Democracy was shaped by the Swedish Nobel prize winners Gunnar & Alva Myrdal = capitalism with a conscience

It says:
-The market is brilliant
-But it needs a society the works for all

Is there a list of approved projects to study somewhere?

Reagan and his posse killed the Fairness Doctrine by framing it as a restriction on free speech

And free speech in America became a license to lie, an uncheck propaganda machine, Outrage-for-profit

So without Reagan, Trumpism could not exist!

Mattias Bergström | Logicism Promotor @thoughtfull.bsky.social · May 27

Reagan killed the Fairness Doctrine

Trump is the result

If you remove the rule that says “tell both sides,” all that’s left is the loudest lie

Now pure propaganda is protected

Truth is optional

If anyone wants democracy back, you should work to get the Fairness Doctrine reinstated

”Best Economy in the World” for Whom? :) The Sneetches with stars?

Mattias Bergström | Logicism Promotor @thoughtfull.bsky.social · May 26

The Big Fat Bill is a Trojan Horse, hiding a path to feudalism, it will create King Trump of USA.

There will be no more => For the People, by the People

By passing Schedule F, Trump has been given his crown. 50,000 loyalists in, democracy out.

If Trump wants a U.S.–EU trade agreement, fine. But that won’t change the trade deficit unless Americans suddenly stop buying German cars and French wines

Mattias Bergström | Logicism Promotor @thoughtfull.bsky.social · May 26

There’s no deal to be made.
Europe’s trade rules are based on democratic standards: food safety, environment, consumer rights. Ursula von der Leyen cannot legally negotiate those away, and politically, she must not.

Mattias Bergström | Logicism Promotor @thoughtfull.bsky.social · May 26

The EU politicians cannot force people to buy American, we have freedom of choice!

So there is not Deal and should not never be a Deal. There could be a US - EU trade agreement but that will not do anything with any trade deficit.
