On Peace

I am a member of Amnesty International, of WILPF International and of the Swedish Peace and Arbitration Society, a lifelong pacifist who is appalled but not discouraged by rising extremism on the left and right and the rediscovery of various totalitarian and authoritarian 'solutions' by European leaders and intellectuals who really should know better by this century.
