“These are new times: at the beginning of Golob’s term as Prime Minister, Lenart Žavbi, an MP from his party, the Freedom Movement, congratulated the people on the Day of Youth – the birthday of Josip Broz, the Yugoslavian dictator,” wrote the editor-in-chief of Siol, Peter Jančič. “A clear message to the core Europe,” Janez Janša responded.
The fact that the Freedom Movement party (Gibanje svoboda) is not a “central party” has been clear since its conception. The name itself is, in itself, a kind of “partisan lingo,” which is trying to convince Slovenians that this is about a kind of spontaneous “people’s uprising” or “guerrilla movement” against a dictatorship. And the more naïve part of those who went to school during the previous regime is certainly very perceptive for such explanations. In the case of the Freedom Movement party, we are actually talking about a parliamentary implementation of a mutation of the Associations of the National Liberation Movement of Slovenia, which includes the intangible heritage of the failed regime, such as the celebration of outdated holidays.
The leader of the Slovenian Democratic Party (SDS), Janez Janša, responded to what happened by writing: “A short answer to the many questions from abroad regarding the orientation of the Freedom Movement party, which is forming a new government. Can you imagine if the deputies of a party that was in the process of forming the German government congratulated Adolf Hitler on his birthday? And yet, in Slovenia, the members of parliament from the Freedom Movement party chose the 25th of May, the birthday of the former dictator of Yugoslavia and mass murderer Josip Broz Tito, as the day of the Prime Minister’s appointment. And they publicly congratulated each other on Tito’s birthday. This says it all.” Janša also added a very interesting photography collage to his answer.
In addition to the Yugoslavian pioneer hats and scarves, we can also see migrants from the Middle East and Africa in the photos. It seems that to them, this whole circus seems like a slightly silly but still fun picnic. Better that than being hungry somewhere else. The proud successors of the League of Communists of Slovenia seem to be consistently following the evolution of Marxism, which was once focused on the struggle of the oppressed proletarians. Since then, however, the latter has been supplanted by the “oppressed” (racial, ethnic, religious, sexual, and so on) minorities. From the idolatry of the proletariat to the idolatry of globalist multiculturalism, the new market niche of the “progressive” left. But behind the scenes of the cultural fight, there is another fight going on – namely, that for departments and state properties. Tito, the Day of Youth and everything else are just delicious “bones to chew on,” a means of distracting everyone from what is really going on behind the scenes.
