We discuss the formation of Yugoslavia, the communist partisans and their fight against fascism during WW2, the rise, rule, and legacy of Josep Broz Tito, "Market Socialism", daily life for workers in Yugoslavia, the Tito-Stalin split and beef, and much more! This is a controversial chapter of socialist history, but also a fascinating and essential one! Enjoy!
