I am from Serbia. This post is kind of simplifying what happened in Bosnia in the nineties. However, it is right in its assessment of Titoism. Tito has been groomed somewhere, to step in at the end of the war and take over, most likely by Russians, but that is only my hunch. Could be other forces that trained him. At the end of the war, he stepped in at the very end into a couple battles, when the Nazis were already in retreat from the allied forces and "liberated" the people. Right after the war ended, they held an election, where at gunpoint and/or under threats, behind a back-lit curtain, people voted by putting bouncy balls into one of two metal boxes. The empty one could be heard well. That one was against communism. And so in 1945. communists took over. They forcibly united six separate states, some of which were slaughtering each other in gruesome ways in the big war, and in the past as well. Everyone was constantly brainwashed by Marxist crap and "unity and brotherhood" slogans(what I hear when heals up says unity and healing, ugh!!). The dissidents were mostly killed, disappeared, and sent to prison or "Goli Otok", and empty rock island in the Adriatic. Out of my people, Serbs, over 1,2 million intellectuals, businessmen and any prominent individual that was against communism got killed right at the end of the war by the commies. They purged most good people in other parts of the federation too, and ruled over the meek and those that kept quiet. What happened in the nineties is a consequence of what happened in 1945. Bosnia, Croatia, Kosovo, so many things to talk about there. Will not take more of your time with that now. If there is an interest, I can post on that later. One thing I have to say though, is this: The OP is completely right that this chaos you are experiencing now is a guerilla tactic from Tito era, and probably those that got him into power. I was born in 1981. and I remember one particular song commie choirs were singing in Yugoslavia, it was on TV, and all over: "Amerika i Engleska bice zemlja proleterska" (America and England will be countries of the proletariat!). Kinda ties this all together. No one listened in time I guess. I hope it is not too late. Please don't hate me for being where I am from. I always admired your values and spirit, and appreciated all you have done for this world. I love you, and your amazing country, and so do many of my people! I hope you will prevail. For the sake of humanity, stay strong, stand firm, never give in!!
