Thanks. I have the Prison Notebooks but its been a while since I read the intro.

Good idea, I'll throw something together.

Yes IMRO (or VMRO as we call it) was a national liberation movement for Macedonia. Vlado, who killed the king was a member, but IMRO was also connected with Ustase at the time.
My guess is that their "politics" for national liberation found some similar points.
It comes at no surprise since Macedonia does not share physical border with Croatia and thus there were never any "tensions" between these two nations.

I'll be honest - I'm not sure what the official Yugoslav interpretation of the king assassination was. But I'll look it up.
As for IMRO, this is mostly true:

There were indeed some fine communists in the IMRO, but purges still happened.

My thanks, comrade

Thanks for that Gramsci. I noticed that whenever there is a new thread about Tito, mostly same posters come up with the same old arguments. Debunking them over and over again every few weeks would be pointless, lol
Related to the topic - I tracked down a guy from Serbia who agreed to sell me a collection of books about Tito and worker's self-managmenet from the 60's.
For only 15 bucks he sold me 10 books with every book having over 300 pages.. that's some 3000 pages of pure theory right there.
Exactly the stuff I was hoping to find in order to look much deeper into the ways and the style of Yugoslav self management program.

Cheers

thanks, glad you liked it

Haha I hear you. I usually just lurk because I am not as well-read as I would like to be...

Hell yeah man. Good to see you on here. I usually just lurk here but it's a good place...

Yeah I am. Why do you ask?
