If you couldn't tell already since I'm too vocal about It, I'm from Serbia.

After the fall of Yugoslavia, this place has become a place of deepest reaction. The people here have been doomed to elect between a neoliberal big tent right wing ruling party and a pro-west liberal opposition, most of the higher ranking members being your typical bourgeoisie.

To update you on the student movement that made a lot of noise a while back. It's falling apart really due to It losing It's originally decent focus from having to concrete leadership. It unfocused from student demands to parliamentary elections and begging the EU to intervene. Then again what was I expecting?

I didn't think I'd be jealous of American students protesting for Palestine while these fuckers are talking about "democracy and a fair state". Whatever that means.

I fucking hate It here man.

Well I should have saw It coming really. It was revealed a few days back the most active students on plenums (lib anarchist student councils basically) are full of NGO's, lib activist groups and right-center liberal party members. Even though they promoted being ANTI-POLITICS early on.

My org thankfully saw It coming way earlier on with students misinterpreting and simplifying strikes as "taking a day off" and going the electoral route.
