Start off with a look at his wonderful post and photo’s on the destruction of Serbia’s oldest theater. Then poke around, read who he is. Enjoy. Yet another part of the antitotalitarian left searching for what that means anymore:
A blog devoted to political commentary and analysis with a particular - but far from exclusive - focus on South East Europe. I come from a traditional left-wing background, but believe that the recent failure of most of the left to oppose fascism, genocide and tyranny in the former Yugoslavia, as well as in the Middle East and elsewhere, has definitely discredited left-wing politics in its traditional form. This blog will therefore, among
other things, be discussing what a new progressive politics might mean in the twenty-first century.
An author, historian, and fascinating blogger. I like this bit at the end of his bio:
I have been variously accused of being a neoconservative, Trotskyite and Croat nationalist and a supporter of Islamism and Western imperialism. Depending on how you define these terms, some or all of this may be accurate.
Being a humane anti-totalitarian leftist takes some cheek these days doesn’t it?
Finish up with a visit with the Ghost of Franco.
