-He organised anti fascist movement in Yugoslavia, defeated Nazies before the Red Army arrived.

-He built the most liberal socialist country in the world.

-People in Yugoslavia could start their own businesses and at the same time education and health care was free. Yugoslavia is by many people seen as the best country of the 20th century.

-He was the only one to resist Stalins will.

-His people could travel freely to any country they desired.

-Yugoslavians had the highes living standard in the whole world until the day the independence war tore the country apart.

I've heard some pretty nasty stories about this guy.

It's true he wasn't great but he was one of the better socialist leaders of the time. Plus he gets my respect for founding the NAM.

Tito wasn't good. He was completely undemocratic! Then again Yugoslavia was probably better off with him then they are now...

I wouldn't put him in the Gulag, but don't kid yourselves, he's no hero.

He's the only "dictator" I have never heard people from his country complaint about.

Most critics of Tito are curiously Italian....


I have a Serbian friend, her name is Ksenja, she lived most of her youth in Yugoslavia, the only reason that made her leave was civil war. She even calls herself a "partisan" reffering to her alleigance with Titoism.

I've still got to do some research on Tito, however as far as I know he governed with an iron Fist that held Yugoslavia together and a prosperous nation.

Long live Yugoslavia!!!

Tito wasn't the worst dictator in the world, I'll admit that.

But Jugoslawia never had a very high standard of living, Kenzu.
Standard of living is always higher in capitalist nations.
Well maybe in present day Slowenia people were not that bad off.

my neighbor lived in yugoslavia under tito.
while he was no none sense ruler, he did lead yugoslavia, and the current countries it is made up of, to the largest economic growth that they had ever experianced.
gulag, no, but hero not quite.

tito was a hero even tho he was a communist, he trew out the nazis but I hear he wasn't as good later on making huge potrats of himself and stuff like that, ego pumpin.

You can if you want, I don't care.

I said yes, because i believe the good outweighs the bad. Anti-Stalin and Anti-Nazi. He was good as far as dictators go. But i don't like titoism.

he is a goddamn reformist capitalist

end

That means tito not= hero.
