As said by westost you can relate to the swedish mentality of conformity in the lines "you shouldn't show you can read" and "We learned how to stay fit and things like Green-tones hide the blush," but my theory is that this has a lot to do with the 70's movement "gröna vågen" (=the green wave) in which many people with radical leftist views moved out of the cities to start selfsufficient societies on their own, hence: "They said we have a communist in the family."

This is just a theory, and can also just be a part of the story. The true mentality of gröna vågen was that one shouldn't use a monetary system, which is contradicted by the line with volvo workers and football players ect.
