   I know he hated the USSR, but it was all thanks to Stalin. Stalin took   
   advantage of Lenin's sickness and death to make the Soviet Union bow to him,   
   not to his people. And then he tried to make Yugoslavia bow to him, just   
   like most of Eastern Europe, and Tito fearlessly said NO.   
   You're totally right. Titoism is the model of the future - a system where   
   the workers make business and they compete in a market. Self-management   
   socialism allows cooperatives to produce exactly what's needed, which avoids   
   the shortages/excess of Stalinist central planning.   
      
   Slava Jugoslavija!
