I knew the Swedes were socialist, but sliding toward communism? Too bad.

Sorry for only linking a short stub.
Basically what happened was that an independent journalist team "Granskning Sverige" ("Reviewing Sweden") interviews the Swedish State Television network (SVT) chief of news and asks if he takes a stance against / distances the agency from communism. The news chief refuses to give an answer to this question.
However, when asked if he takes a stance against / distances the agency from racism or Nazism, he says yes.
PS: There is an expression in Swedish that doesn't have a direct translation in English that roughly translates to "take a stand against" or "distance oneself from" or "disassociate oneself from".
