The Desolution of Yugoslavia

"socialism is when IMF loan"

The history of Yugoslavia since 1945 embraces a period of rapid economic, political, and social modernization reflected in urban and industrial growth, improvements in literacy and economic well-being, changes in the traditional patriarchal family structure, moderation of ethnic hostilities, and integration into the international economy.

However, in dialectical fashion, it also embraces a period of economic decline and intense ethnic reaction. In a very real sense, the route to the collapse of the Yugoslav federation, like the collapse of the Soviet federation, was paved by the policy toward nationalities that each had pursued, but it was precipitated by involvement in the global economy.

      The beifongs are objectively shitty cops. In the first season they're established to be essentially apartheid enforcers. An all-bender police force imposing the will of an all-bender government on the non-bender majority of a settler-colonialist state.

      Even after the reforms of season 1 they don't ever address the policing issue. They try to make the government more inclusive but the cops seem immune from reforms.
