Part 2 of Red Library's Lost Futures Series

Our most excellent comrades from The Regrettable Century return to the library for epic task of studying the history of socialist political and economic society and its eventual eventual downfall in Yugoslavia from 1945 to the early 1990's. To do so, we read the 2015 work by Darko Suvin, Slendour, Misery, and Possibilities: An X-Ray of Socialist Yugoslavia.

We kick off part 1 with discussing the history of Yugoslavia and the partisan resistance during World War II, the break with Stalin and the U.S.S.R., the struggleation in the command economy years, and much more!

We also share a big announcement at the start of this episode!
