Heh, scroll halfway down...In the last few hours, www.antiwar.com put up the column for the 9th of Raimondo. http://www.antiwar.com/justin/j070601.html A THEORY OF CRISIS Before entering the realm of politics, Djindjic was involved with another sort of gangsterism: he was a Marxist ideologue, a devotee of the Frankfurt School of Theodor Adorno, and left Yugoslavia to study under Jurgen Habermas in Germany. There he hung out on the fringes of the Baader-Meinhoff gang and boogied with the Red Army Fraction. Perhaps he ran into Joschka Fischer, that street-fighting Red who later rose to become Germany's Foreign Minister. Djindjic's 1979 doctoral thesis, "Marx's Critical Theory of Society and the Problem of Foundation," posits an epistemological basis for Marx's theory that a crisis must be generated before the capitalist order is destroyed and socialism emerges triumphant. This theory of "crisis" was applied perfectly, and with great effect, in the Milosevic affair: with one blow, the ruthless Djindjic split the ex-opposition (DOS) and drove the Montenegrins out of the government coalition, threatening the nation itself with a split. That this maneuver might also abolish Kostunica's office, the Yugoslav presidency, is hardly a coincidence.
