The Privilege they erased from History

Curious about Croatia.  Are there people there lamenting the passing of Tito's brand of socialism, or is that seen as something that was imposed by the Serbs ?

Cheers

Yes indeed. There are "leftover" fans of Tito even today in all former Yugoslav republics, but it's never coming back. Too few are left...and only the older generation which lived under Tito and is slowly dying out. Some lament it wasnt bad under Tito, but when he died in '80, it all started to go downhill. I too was a Tito supporter in my younger years. Today, I see it a bit differently, without the rosy socialist glasses. It was a different time back then, country was recovering from a ww2, and socialism was then the right ideology to cure the population. Tito was really a moderate communist. He managed to unite several different nationalities under one flag and he made it work for a while. 

We had elections just yesterday, and the Democratic party won. The Dems are conservative right in Croatia, while on the other side there was a coalition of lefties (social democrats, environmentalists, and few minor parties). The left got crushed out of existence. Dems won in all counties but two.
