Communism.

Multiculturalism.

Authoritarian governments have a natural tendency to collapse when they run out of money, or some other form of weakness gives people an opportunity to destroy it.

Tito's death

The concept was dumb from the start.

Fragmentation of the national market into eight sub-markets each with their own taxes, investment regulations, etc, massive foreign debt, hyperinflation and ethnic rivalry. (Socialist Planning Third Edition by Michael Ellman)

depended on Reinhard von Lohengramm to exist

Ran it's course.

You realize you didn't need the apostrophe in 'its', right? What you wrote is the conjunction of 'it is'.
>Ran it is course.
That doesn't make much sense, does it?

They weren't authoritarian enough after Tito died

serbs

Mostly serbs

You do realise he meant it in the context of possession

Correct
Oh, it was authoritarian, but decentralized authoritarian so instead of 1 dickhead in charge you had 6-8 dickheads in charge of their domains.

The communists took care of ethnic strife which was a problem in first Yugoslavia but the socialist economy led to crisis and inflation which once again brought out old resentments, especially among the Croats and the Serbs who lived in ethnically mixed areas and saw each other as a threat due to this. Among Slovenes and Croats, the main wish was to become independent of the repressive and economically stagnant system while among the Serbs, there were fears of their nation being divided in several republics. Conflicts started erupting. There were talks of a confederacy but Belgrade would have none of it, leading to Slovenia's and Croatia's declarations of independence. Slovenia went through the ten day war but in Croatia, Serbs had much more to lose so a much bigger war broke out.

El SerbiANO

It started during the war desu. A rift between the national communist organisations started as soon as the war had started as the Slovene communists started organising with other organisations into the Liberation front while Hitler and Stalin were still allied and the Yugoslav communists were free to conspire against the political leadership. Right from the start, they set the same goals as the wider Yugoslav communist party did (the liberation of Yugoslavia and the communist revolution) but had much more nationalist goals; among other, greater autonomy of the Slovene nation as well as a Slovene army. Unfortunately, the Stalinist current prevented this from becoming a reality but nevertheless, Kardelj reached the number 2 spot in the federation in the 70s and forced an economic reform. Slovene communists in general contained many liberal elements, although they were at times cut down (as, for example, Stane Kavčič who was basically a Yugoslav Deng Xiaopin in the economic sense and who was forced to leave politics by the enroaching pro-centralist/pro-unitarian Serbian elements at the end of the 60s). In general, most were part of a wider Slovene communist block that was reformist and autonomist in nature, which only culminated in the late 80s and the eventual independence.

The power struggles were quite an interesting thing, especially because they were interpreted from a nationalist view, if Krcun didn't "drive into a tree" and Rankovic wasn't thrown out of the party, but these elements were tackled in a different manner, there would be no Milosevic, Stambolic was much more reasonable.

Also, wouldn't Ante Markovic be the Deng Xiaoping of Yugoslavia?

...

You're right, he'd probably fit better. To be honest, I was thinking of leaving that part out but in the end I thought it would be a fitting comparison. Kavčič was part of the new, liberal wave of politicians (that were especially present among Slovene communists) that turned Yugoslavia into a different direction in the late 60s and early 70s. His main visions were an expansion of import economy (with the main element of this being a strong highway system - the thing that in the end led to Kavčič being forced to abandon politics), more cooperation with European economies, a further move towards market economy and more autonomy and representation for Slovenes. In truth, he was more "radical" than Kardelj and his liberal tendencies were very popular in the public eye which was yet another reason why he had to go.

>Le bunkers everywhere man giving advice on how to run a country

If only the loans were for economic development, they were for importing foreign goods. The very goods that made Yugoslavia look so "awesome" on the surface.

Yugoslavia did borrow to develop but most projects were in the undeveloped south where nothing got done to completion and money just withered away.

Pretty much.

It's a pretty good summation and it isn't shallow either, it's contemporary for when they made it so they don't have the full picture but it also allowed them to get interviews with a lot of the people involved including Milosevic.

So basically modern America?

Well at least we know where we're headed.

There was a great Slovene documentary on Youtube with subtitles but it seemed to have been deleted. There's several great ones still left but they don't have any subtitles.
