On additional point about the developments at the Workers & Punks
University May Day School reported by Michael Perelman: the announcement
made at the conference was the formation of an explicitly socialist
initiative. The young comrades there have been intensely involved in the
protest movement there and have concluded that it is essential now to
distinguish their position from the strains of merely anti-corruption
and nationalist elements within those demonstrations and to build
explicitly on this basis. The particular significance of this at this
time is that 'socialism' [and, indeed, self-management] have been terms
beyond mention as the result of an intense ideological offense offensive
throughout the former Yugoslavia for the last 20 years and more. There
are similar stirrings in Zagreb [where I was until yesterday] and
Belgrade [where I am now] among young people but they are far behind the
comrades in Ljubljana; however, there is no question that in those
places they are being inspired to go thou and do likewise.
