I can't stop in my amazement! These arguments are, BELIEVE IT OR NOT,
exactly the SAME arguments that were used to justify the coup of 1955
from some anti-Peronist "leftist" quarters. Of course, Perón's record
on "freedom of speech" was not precisely Jeffersonian. But, partly,
this was a bureaucratic way to put off the enemies of our national
independence (something our working class, due to reasons I fear too
dark for Partija rada to understand) did not dismiss, and reasonably
enough as was tragically proven later. And, partly, this was simply a
lie. After the coup, in the same way that it seems to be the story
with Yugoslavia after the revolt, some host of "leftist" press media
based on the middle classes mushroomed, simply to be progressively
wiped away from existence in a decade or two, their leaders
radicalized in the wrong way (that is without relinquishing their
anti-Peronism or, worse yet, transforming themselves into "Peronists"
but keeping all their anti-Peronist prejudices with them).
Eventually, they became the core of the individualist terrorist cells
that boiled down to the Montoneros and ERP (a negation of politics)
and provided the ground for the worst reactionaries in my country to
take power in 1976.

Very sad, indeed. I hope the whole chain of events does not repeat
the way the original move is repeating. But we have all the
components there: a young middle class nurtured in the ideals of
democracy, working from the Left for the best fulfillment of the
needs of imperialism, who will be necessarily left to a side of the
road as Yugoslavia becomes more and more of a semicolony, who will
most probably radicalize and revolt. I hope that they can see the way
-which runs very far away from Partija rada's positions, I fear-
before they are taken by rage and idiocy (in the original Greek
sense, of navel gazing) to a new civil war.

Too much of that in Yugoslavia.
