Communism


Definition of Communism: A theory or system in which all property is owned by the community. It is where a person contributes and receives according to their needs. 

Before 1952, The Communist Party of Yugoslavia was a major communist party in Yugoslavia. The party was founded as an opposition party in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes in 1919. Josip Broz Tito led the party from 1937 to 1980.

The royal government banned them due to their success in the elections and they became an illegal underground group until World War II. After Yugoslavia’s collapse in 1941, communists became involved in a War of National Liberation and defeated the Axis forces (German, Japanese and Italian)  a bloody civil war. In 1945, The Communist Party of Yugoslavia established a one-party rule in Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, which lasted until the Yugoslav wars of 1991.
Tito was accused by Joseph Stalin of nationalism and moving more to the ‘right’ and thus was expelled from the Cominform in 1948. The party renamed itself the League of Communists and adopted politics of workers' self-management and independent communism, known as Titoism. 

To a degree free market enterprise was allowed internally in what is called Market Socialism under Tiotist Communism.
