Rey takes the Empire Never Ended down an awkward road called 'Early Serbian and Yugoslav Fascism'. This is a period of street fighting that shaped the pan-slavic fascists known as 'ORJUNA', and of the inter-war antifascist battle of Trbovlje in Slovenia. Follow Dimitrije Ljotić (1891-1945), wannabe führer and Bible nerd, as he annoys the shit out of everyone before getting politically stomped on by rich rival, Milan Stojadinović (1888-1961) in a pathetic bid to become Hitler's boy in Serbia. Also discussed, O.G. Yugoslav communists coming home from the Russian Revolution, Proletarian Action Squads, the Arditi del Popolo, and the awesomely-named 'Red Justice'! If that wasn't enough, Rey also elucidates the origins of the name "Yugoslavia", recounts the chaotic tale of Račić's mass shooting in the Yugoslav Parliament, and presents the bizarre 'Diamantstein Affair'. Finally, the boys get theoretical about workerism and the "parasite" framework adopted by many anti-capitalists as well as about certain orifices of the body of the fascist state.

This is The Empire Never Ended, the Antifascist Amerikanski-Balkan podcast about (neo) fascist terror, the (deep) state and the alienation, nihilism and desperation produced by the capitalist system. And how to get rid of all that. Something like that... Subscribe to our Patreon for weekly premium episodes!
