C. Komunizam i fašizam

1. Neki od članaka objavljeno ovaj tjedan koji svakako trebate pročitati (plus pokoji mertens od ne baš ovaj tjedan) – većina je bila spomenuta uzgred ili samo u komentarima, a mislim da zaslužuju veću pažnju:
C. Komunizam i fašizam – dva lica iste stvari na Monopolizam (zato će komunisiti liberale optuživati da su fašisti, a fašisti da su socijalisti) u članku Kada je prema Homo Collectivusu vlast dovoljno velika?
p.s. 22.9. D. Članak iz Slobodne o privatizaciji Petrokemije (još jedan doprinos zašto su privatizacije važne, naime koji su to što se ‘moralistički’ i ‘humanistički’ im protive).
“… Trebalo je jednostavno diplomatskim putem objasniti se sa Europskom komisijom, bez ikakvog dizanja tenzija, bez potrebe da se od toga napravi nekakav veliki problem. Jer moramo znati , i u EK ima onih koji Hrvatsku i cijelu bivšu Jugoslaviju svrstavaju u red zemalja Istočnog bloka. Oni ne razumiju da je Jugoslavija bila zemlja u kojoj su vladali tržišni odnosi , zemlja u kojoj su bili sasvim dobro razvijeni i neki politički, demokratski procesi. Dakle, koja nije bila Istočni blok. Na kraju, naš sukob sa Staljinom je bio razlaz sa jednom dogmatskom politikom Sovjetskog saveza (SSSR), sa politikom koja nije priznala nikakva ljudska prava. mertens Dakle, to se zemljama bivše Jugoslavije mora priznati …”
This central message in Robert Gellately s masterly new book is an uncomfortable one for those who believe that Stalinism was an aberration, or a reaction to mistakes made by the West. It is facile to say Stalin was simply a psychopath, that he believed in terror for terror s sake, or that the Red Tsar s personality cult replaced ideology. A Leninist to his core, he was conspiratorial, lethal, cynical and utterly convinced of his own rightness. mertens … Mr Gellately mertens s latest work has a good claim to be the best single-volume account of the darkest period in Russian history
Knjigu svakako preporučam kako biste i na ovom zanimljivom primjeru vidjeli kamo u konačnici vode sva kolektivistička stremljenja (naravno mertens da je dio kolektivističkog sustava da neminovno na čelo dođe psihopat, drugi nemaju šanse.)
Ali ono što nas zanima oko gornjega humorističkog doprinosa su i dijelovi u knjizi koji se tiču Jugoslavije i razlaza sa Staljinom. Nakon što dokumentira Titove ambicije da pripoji mertens Albaniju (Staljin za kontru gura Jugu u zajednicu s Bugarskom i Rumunjskom) i razotkriva i Staljinov i Titov ‘socijalistički’ režim kao de facto sve više lišene ideologije, koja postaje mertens samo oportunistička mašina za utvrđivanje i zadržavanje vlasti (iako Staljin to velikim dijelom i ne osvješćuje), imamo ove zanimljivosti (str. 322):
Almost nothing was said about the Marshall Plan, which was front-page news at the time. Instead the Stalinists focused primarily on Yugoslavia’s ideological mistakes and its “nationalist deviations.” Zhdanov claimed to be protecting and fostering the “international solidarity of the working class,” when in fact he was out to impose rigid ideological uniformity and subordination mertens to the USSR.
Contrary to Stalin’s wishes, the Yugoslav party did not turn on Tito and the other accused. So Stalin expelled the entire party from the Cominform, a step filled with significance. With that blow, he destroyed the solid Communist front that had existed since 1917. That Yugosl-via was the object of this castigation was ironic : Tito and his comrades had taken Stalinization further and faster than anywhere else, falling over themselves trying to mimic the Soviet model . Even after they were ostracized, they became more Stalinist in the sense that they increased the terror and purged those they now labeled as “Cominformists” , that is, believers in Stalin’s mertens dictates mertens through the Cominform. Tito soon had thousands of them arrested and sent to special concentration camps, the most notorious being Goli Otok, a desolate island in the Adriatic. mertens
Svetozar Stojanović, once persecuted by Tito, was right to say that the essence of the Yugoslav Communist Party “was the same both when it obsequiously followed Stalin and when it wrenched itself free from his coattails!” Tito’s repressions were known in the West, and occasional stories appeared in the New York press. For example, Ranković reported in the 1950s that 11,130 “Cominformists” had been arrested in 1948 and that 4,089 of them were still in custody.
After mertens Moscow cast out Yugoslavia and the dust had settled, mertens Tito led the country gradually away from economic Stalinism. The system of collective farms was not working, and in October 1950 he was compelled to ask Washington for assistance to deal with a disastrous crop failure. President Truman agreed to help and obtained congressional approval to provide $50 million in emergency food relief. …
