Had a great depressing afternoon reading all of this and flicking through a couple different wikipedia pages. When I say things like "the destruction of the USSR was a genocide", this is why. The destruction of Yugoslavia, the ethnic genocides on its former lands, the utter lack of response from NATO or the so-called peaceful forces of Europe -- this is what the USA wanted. This is what the end of the USSR meant: death, killing, massacres of people who once were united. This was the victory of the Nazis.

Slovenian “national reconciliation” during capitalist transition rehabilitated fascist collaborators, weakened anti-fascist memory, consolidated new elites, and legitimized capitalist restoration.

you will never hate the capitalist enough.

The intended conciliatory discussion between (former) partisans and their associations on the one hand, and the Catholic Church and representatives of the new state parties on the other, remained rooted in cultural struggle and did not actually deal with the past. Instead, the logical consequence was the rehabilitation of fascist collaborators as equal – if not more morally worthy – actors of World War II.
