>Yugoslavia a once politically stable state in the Balkans when ruled by Tito that had a decent economy, automobile industry, a military and currency with some actual power, social relevancy, good national sports teams, etc. >Tito who ruled Yugoslavia with an iron fist dies and ethnic tensions increase tenfold >Fragmentation of Yugoslavia occurs because 'muh nationalism' >All ex-Yugoslavic countries are essentially irrelevant shitholes
Go ahead and say what you want about Yugoslavia but it was better than the modern collective barren wasteland that is the Balkans.
Of course it was better. Thats why you had to destroy it with help of domestic traitors and stupid nationalists who thought such small shitty countries can be sovereign.
Josiah Gomez
Yeah man, if you ignore all the purges and ever growing debt. People who idealize Yugoslavia are largely ignoring of the really state of matters. It makes sense that resources pooled together can create more but was the cost worth it?
Joseph Robinson
laughing at Sl*vs
Matthew Sullivan
I believe an unpleasant truth is still better than a comforting lie Reunited Yugoslavia maybe could be okayish at best but only for a limited period of time Permanently,it would be unsustainable (as history already showed TWICE)so in the long run its better this way,as it is now
Isaiah Perry
No its totally better to be a little corrupted shithole with even bigger debt that sucks american dick all the time and is ruled by a bunch retards.
Isaiah Myers
Isn't the debt of the six republics much worse now? Besides, the Yugoslav debt crisis happened when they applied IMF / world bank recipes.
Andrew Bailey
>ruled by a bunch retards >implying yugoslavia wasn't i smell Serb
Nolan King
literally everything is unsustainable on a permanent basis
Charles Brooks
I smell underage faggot. those people were far better than those we have now.
Noah Bennett
Not even close, Slovenia and Croatia are way better countries than Yugoslavia ever was
Carson Evans
croatias economy has been dead for like a fucking decade
Carter Jenkins
Current disparate nations that once constituted Yugoslavia are permanently unsustainable.
Julian Reyes
at least they get lots of tourism
Dylan Williams
*after Tito's and Kardelj's death just a tiny correction come on now yugoslavia again for slovenia would just be unnecessary pain with no gain as this user already pointed outit would be just a matter of time before it breaks down into series of vicious conflicts and do you think putting them all together would make things any better?
Landon Bailey
Slovenia is irrelevant as fuck and Croatia is a beautiful country but fucked up economically.
Not only that but what about Serbia? Bosnia? Macedonia? Montenegro? You think these countries are better off independent? You have to be seriously delusional if so.
Liam Myers
>Slovenia is irrelevant as fuck
yeah, but so is Estonia, which is slightly worse off than us. Should it therefore become a part of Finland?
Juan Richardson
this
Jordan Perry
Slovenia and Croatia are doing better than when they were in Yugoslavia.
Alexander Hill
>muh relevance So what? Quality of life is what matters, your life isn't gonna get any better just because your country is more famous
Charles Mitchell
If Yugoslavia was so could then why did America tear it apart?
Thomas Thomas

Because of gibs
Joshua Hernandez
Now post the debts of each individual country and their total.
>No I will not post the debts for each individual country. Now why would that be? >Literally taking more credits just to pay the interest rates of old credits. Literally the same shit today.
Colton Sanchez
Because it is irrelevant you braindead commie cuck. No. It is far from the shit we have today. Serbia inherited around 11 billion of that debt. And Serbia is around 25 billion in debt today. But Serbia can still pay the monthly installments and interest on the debt. Communist Yugoslavia couldn't pay the monthly installments and the interest even back when Titio was still alive.
And 18 billion back then was a whole lot more wealth and money, it can't be comparable even when inflation is taken into account.
Oliver Ward
ubij se tačkasta degenčino
Landon Perry
no, it's more because the rest of yugoslavia was economically worse, so if you split us into separate parts naturally the ones that were doing the best are doing the best afterwards as well

Zachary Walker
Sounds to me like the whole balkans needs a good dose of Communism 2. Yugoslavia and Bulgaria were clearly better under communism.
Dylan Rogers
I apologize for my retarded tankie countryman
Jayden Murphy
Retarded? Go fuck yourself, it's true.
Yugoslavia was a power of Europe. Now it's a bunch of irrelevant small countries.
Bulgaria was one of the best eastern bloc countries, now the poorest in the EU and half their population left since the fall of Communism.
Russia is an oligarchy where people overdose on krokodil in the streets.
Communism was better, just admit it.
Jaxon Morgan
USA need communism too:3
Aaron Ramirez
Relevance is the only thing Ameripussies have going for them though.
Aiden White
no it was a shitty artificial and unstable state that only lasted due to billions of US gibsmedats and credits since it was anti-soviet as soon as the gibs stopped flowing in the economy collapsed. an unnatural nation that was artificially propped up
Matthew Russell
My father was friends with Yugoslavian immigrants before Tito died. They still refer to themselves as Yugoslavians, even though their country does not exist anymore.
Ryan Reed
that means they're probably Bosnians or grew up in a multireligious household
Kayden Gonzalez
They weren't Muslims because my father would have definitely remarked about that, since he is an observant Catholic.
Aaron Butler
Is it true Yugoslavia was less "repressive" than the other communist countries, like you could get western rock music and tv and stuff right? I heard that from somewhere
Nathan Jenkins
Yes.
Ryan Hernandez
they werent even socialists
Matthew Taylor
yes, that's true
there was no iron curtain between Yugoslavia and the West
that's also why we had a very strong punk and new wave scene, though they only started releasing records after Tito's death for some reason
there were also Beatles and Hendrix ripoffs and western-style folkies in the 60s and 70s who made records on Yugoton (the national music label)
Brayden Harris
yes, there wasn't an iron curtain here, people could freely pass borders even for things like weekly shopping trips, which was pretty popular along the austrian border, and along the adriatic to italy
Evan Jenkins
for geopolitical reasons Jugoslavja was less repressive than most eastern Europe. There were a rock-pop scene in every former commie state though.
Henry Phillips
I'd say slovenia is far better off now than under yugoslav rule
Aaron Ramirez
because they are literal jews
Benjamin Diaz
seems like you guys need to git gud like slovenia 2bh
Evan Hall
i think that is true i still have a hard time wrapping my mind around the fact that back then even in bosnia people were able to afford golf mk2 i mean wasn't that bit too decadent for a socialist society?

Parker Johnson
Dont worry, there are many stages of 'countryhood' on this part of europe and the borders never rest. Dont fool yourself if you believe it will all remain as it is now
James Morris
yeah, but odds are if a border shift happens yet again in the next few years, it will be in serbia or bosnia
William Baker
>not here
Kevin Gray
was thinking of mentioning you but i dont really know enough sorry
Levi Myers
worry not we're right up there
Nathan Brooks
It wasn't sustainable in the end and couldn't outlast Tito.
