I partially agree. The Nordic intelligentsia do resemble a left-leaning social democratic political group. That is why while right-wing writer such as Borges complains about it, but the communists also hate them for being social democratic and generally anti-communist. China and Soviet Union have dissident writers who win it first (Pasternak and Gao Xingjian) before the officially approved writers winning it. The most funny part is the infighting of the left, when J.P. Sartre declined the nobel prize.
Edit: The caste system of social democrat:
1. Social Democrat: Brahmin caste, the best of the worlds, the best of capitalism, the best of socialism, the best of democracy.
2. Moderate Democrat: Kshatriya caste, the muscle of social democrats.
3. Dissent Democrats under right wing dictatorship: martyrs for social democrat cause
4. Left-wing dictators: Our friends who are a little edgy.
5. Dissent under communism: true believer of socialism against communist usurpers
6. Conservative Democrats: Main rival in the democratic country, our enemy at home.
7. Right-wing dictators: Basically scums.
8. Communists: usurpers.
9. Fascists: 100% scums, upgraded version of 7.
