Says the guy who posts pics of Mussolini. My parents lived under Fascism and through WWII, and it surely was no picnic.

As a Titoist, I can't be a fan of former Wall Street banker and counter-revolutionaire Slobodan Milošević who 1) destroyed Tito's Yugoslavia in blood, using Serbian nationalism which was defeated in the Revolution 2) replacing that ingeniously created decentralized self-management socialism with a centralized gangster-socialism.

I remeber when I was very small, my father (an old commie) saying to me that that country with something of my name ("Gus") didnt exist anymore. I got so upset - Dont even remeber exaclty when.

I've read only a small article about socialism in Yugoslavia, the descentralized sistem that differ so much from the Soviet Union (later periods) have to be brought up at some point.

And how did the Cold War influence Prog? Well, after Dr. Zhavago was released as a movie, Michael Dunford became interested in exiled or imprisoned Soviet writers like Boris Pasternak and  Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and pretty soon we got songs from Renaissance like Mother Russia and Ukraine Ways. Does anyone know of other Cold War influences on prog? 

Alright! Kind of a leading question but this is your turf, man.
