Looking to learn more about Syndikalistiska Ungdomsförbundet, the Swedish Anarcho Syndicalist Youth Federation. Not sure if anyone from them posts on here but any info or history would be welcomed.

Wow, I am an American of Swedish descent and I now I really wish I lived in one of the Nordic countries seeing as how the left community is reasonably larger.

SUF was originally started in 1930, 1935 it had 4000 members and 142 fractions, and fought in the spanish revolution. The symbol symbolizes "the red revolutionary youths firm unity":

In the second world war it had a split between those who fought against the soviet in Finland and those who were against that. 1953 there were only 100 members left.

"Youth, you belong to us"


SUF was restarted in 1993 when Sweden had a big financial crisis and a lot of nazis.

And today it is alive and well with about 500 members I would guess and growing in 26 fractions. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=77296747314#!/group.php?gid=77296747314&v=wall (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=77296747314#%21/group.php?gid=77296747314&v=wall)
