I envy you, I have always wanted to visit the former Yugoslavian Federal Republics, not sure if it is grammatically correct to capitalize them. So, what is the state of the Left in these republics at present, is there a clear socialist alternative, whether as a communist party or parties or movements of any other name?. Is J. B. Tito a venerated figure in Slovenia, Croatia, or Serbia. Anyway, just curious and I should probably look at the links you provided in another Email and just keep quiet until I'm sure my questions haven't been answered--lol. And are you the economist Michael Perelman? Your name sounds very familiar to me but am wondering why, perhaps the older I get, the more I think I've heard everyone's name, but I'm only 43 so I suppose I have a ways to go.

The young comrades there have been intensely involved in the protest movement there and have concluded that it is essential now to distinguish their position from the strains of merely anti-corruption and nationalist elements within those demonstrations and to build explicitly on this basis. The particular significance of this at this time is that 'socialism' [and, indeed, self-management] have been terms beyond mention as the result of an intense ideological offense offensive throughout the former Yugoslavia for the last 20 years and more. There are similar stirrings in Zagreb [where I was until yesterday] and Belgrade [where I am now] among young people but they are far behind the comrades in Ljubljana; however, there is no question that in those places they are being inspired to go thou and do likewise. michael -- --------------------- Michael A.
