Yugoslavian socialism

[Greg Nowell]

4. To erase the memory of Yugoslavia (which represented
an alternative
>model of Socialism) by claiming that the region is
(and has been always)
>nothing but competing ethnic groups whose interests
the US/NATO claims to
>ajudicate, thus assuming political & ideological
control.

Y'all forgettin' one thing.  Under Tito the primary
ethnic group in the national police forces was the
serbs.   A lot of nice jobs which they lost with the
independence movements.  Moreover 'twas the iron fist
in the velvet glove.  Y'all think all that serbian
national police force was so *popular*. Such a great
socialist country blew apart 'cause everyone felt so
strongly it should stay together.   Bourgeois analysts
were right to write, in journals like Foreign Affairs,
as they did in the 60s and 70s, after Tito, what?
National question still not solved, folks.
