  The "State Capitalist" theories( Tony Cliff, Bettelheim, neo-anarchists
too) have never made sense to me, either, for many reasons too complicated
to go into here, but, without retreating into a moralistic, idealistic  or
Menshevik conception of socialism, I wouldn't abandon a critical analysis of
Soviet-type societies either. (Damn that Scylla and Charbydis, of the one
hand and on the other hand!)
     On the Yugoslav case though, Milosevic, Slobo and Mira and the Yugoslav
Left party have major investments in Yugo industries and get tons of
kickbacks. Sounds like a "Red Bourgeoisie" to me!
