Re: What do you think of Josip Broz Tito?
What do I think? I think nothing of him since I usually don't consecrate much of my precious time thinking about dead Communist dictators.
Better question would be: what opinion do I have of him, as a historical personality? In this context I see him as an oppressor of my nation, leading an artificial state that denied self-determination to my people (although it was formally written in the Yugoslav constitution). He is not so much important as personality to me, as much is important the state that he was the head of. The country he led ultimately fell apart, with Titoist generals wanting to preserve the Serbian-centered Yugoslavia with the force of arms nad through mass-killings.
This whole setting in which the tragic break-up of Yugoslavia happened was largely created and upheld by him. So my opionion of him is extremely negative.
