We allowed ourselves two dictators in 30 years. That is the core of our problem. There is no quick fix for this. And that's why March 15 could not be the Fifth of October. Because the Fifth of October is not enough now. Must be slower, must be smarter. It needs to be more thorough. Yesterday was not the end, because this is just the beginning
March 16 dawned, the so-called "day after". However, after what? Expectations were different, some were fulfilled, some were not. Only those who expected the impossible remained disappointed. Everyone else, and that's the vast majority, knows that nothing is over, yes March 15 it never should, nor can it be new The fifth of October.
Why? First of all, because we are dealing with a much more irrational opponent than then. After bringing Students 2.0 to Pionirski Park (where, it turned out yesterday, Students 2.0 is just a code name for paid bullies), bringing subsidized tractors, creating a parallel reality with parallel students, citizens and farmers, it is clear that we are dealing with a man who has delved too deeply into his own delusions.
Although Slobodan Milošević is one of the most horrible people to walk the earth, he was not this deep in the parallel universe. Aleksandar Vučić lived for three full decades in the political trap of those more powerful and crazier than himself, until he received his piece of power. Let's not get carried away that he will hand her over so easily. He prepared for a long time for what he has now. Longer than anyone ever has.
This leads us to the next conclusion: it cannot and cannot be fought against him with the October 2012 scenario. The fifth of October took place in the conditions of stolen elections, defending Vojislav Koštunica's election victory and with clear knowledge of who is taking over power. Also, it happened ten years after the arrival of the criminal Milosevic regime. We repeat: although he has had absolute power since XNUMX, he has been practicing since the nineties.
Furthermore, if yesterday it had gone in the direction it did not, what would have happened? If we know that they used a "sonic boom", what else do you think they had in store? They are evil. They are a minority, but an evil minority. If anyone expected the Blockade Students to fight the creatures from Pioneer Park, they are also on the side of the evil minority. Because that's the scenario they want and need.
Students do not need such a thing. Not after so many days in the blockade, after all the marches, after all those running over cars and breaking jaws with clubs. Four months are pure as a tear and unsullied. Now to allow them to be defiled? Why? Because some of us are impatient or don't understand the moment? Well, it can't.
Besides, who's to fight? Who do you push in front of you? Girls and boys aged 19-20, who have already put everything they have on the line to change society, the system and themselves? They are criticized for not changing the government. Well, it won't, because it's not enough. They are changing everything so that this type of government would never happen again.
We are a society that has allowed itself two dictatorships in just three decades. We know how we got there. The old solutions proved to be ineffective. That's why we now have a generation that offers something new. The new is always unknown, so to some extent it is a clear misunderstanding. But only to a certain extent.
We allowed ourselves two dictators in 30 years. That is the core of our problem. There is no quick fix for this. And that's why March 15 could not be the Fifth of October. Because the Fifth of October is not enough now. Must be slower, must be smarter. It needs to be more thorough. Yesterday was not the end, because this is just the beginning.
Anyone who condemns the regime's targeting of people from the media, the non-governmental sector, the opposition and universities, must not agree to this targeting of RTS editors and journalists either.
The government of Đur Mazut is "counter-revolutionary", focused on retaliation and state and street violence against opponents of the regime
Depriving Dejan Ilić, an intellectual with an impeccable life and work biography, of his freedom, without the slightest meaningful reason, is just one of the brutal indicators that the regime has turned against its own citizens and is entering a phase of terror
Where Seselj left off, Vucic continues. Why did Ana Grozdanović, a member of the SPS Main Board, deserve the position of Minister of Justice in Dr. Macuta's government? And what the regime wants to achieve with the Stalinist campaign of intimidation
These are the last days when there is a chance that the great rebellion in Serbia will not pass in vain and without a political result. If it goes that way, the regime will launch an even stronger retaliation
