#LeoPanitch, RIP, yugosplained without condescension
Whether with SKJ suits in places like Cavtat and Kumrovec, or with millennial subversives in Ljubljana and Zagreb, Leo always came with the same 1916 text under his arm
Democracy is our baby, #LeoPanitch would urge the Yugoslav League's Party School in 1988 and the Slovenian student occupation in 2014. #yugosplaining
The conservatives, the liberals, they are cosplaying democracy bc now they have to. In their original habitat they were gentlemanly parliamentary elites repping landed gentry. But universal suffrage & mass democracy is the stuff of regular folk, nobodies & have-nots. #LeoPanitch
There have always been slave revolts, there have always been bread riots. But the first permanent organizations of subordinate classes in human history are mass working class orgs. #LeoPanitch
“The big test of whether we can really have democracy are the workers parties. If democracy is possible at all, it will be because these organizations are democratic” #leopanitch
Is organizational oligarchy inevitable? If so, then . . .
#LeoPanitch
#LeoPanitch
Or as @astradisastra puts it...
Or as #yugosplaining ying . . .
. . . and #yugosplaining yang
#LeoPanitch would tell us about the yugoatlantic promise of public banking and why all roads nevertheless leads to @rsgexp
. . . and why @AOC is daydreaming of permanent escape to the countryside (whatever that is) and of a different life (wherever that is). Because it’s hard. #LeoPanitch
It's only fitting that Leo knew how to spend 11/9 (2016): basking in Novi Beograd with @sunraysunray. We wish we were there with them.
RIP #LeoPanitch
