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.

Really just that there was too much focus on the SPD and KPD fighting each other and not enought on fighting the Nazis until it was too late. It feels to me like there are parallels there between that time and just the American left constantly tearing itself apart.
I think the left in America moves in an even more amorphous manner than the SPD or KPD did. We don't even have a focus point or two to focus left energy into so it kinda dissipates into a million different local groups. It sucks.
