DESNICARSKA POBEDA II

Konacno brojanje glasova, austrijskim

Socijal-demokrati pobedjuju. Tako smo mi

su mogli da suzbiju desnicare, kako je postu-

Tito O Opoziciji

Ma y. septembra 0. G. odrzao je
Marsal Tito Cd Jugoslavije jedan govor
preko radija radu tanoSnje "opozici-
je'', koji je u celosti izasao pittsburs-
kom Narodnom Glasniku. U tom govoru
kaze Sc:
'U ovom kratkom periodu, cd kako
je opozicija dobila mogucnost da slobod-
no djeluje, svaki njezin korak, koji je
preduzimala, bio je u suprotnosti sa
interesima naroda -. A sto treba me-
djunarodnoj reakciji? Moi treba da Ju-
goslavija bude u ovoj situaciji sto mamie
otporna, sto nesposobnija da zastiti svo-
je interese A tome treba da posluzi
opozicija.'
Kad titovci govore "interesima
naroda'', oni govore kao burzoaski libe-
rail- iii burzoaski demokrati, koji mesaju
interese radnog naroda sa interesima
pljackasa tirana radnog naroda.
No ako pretpostavimo - samo pref
postavimo samo "a trenutak - da Tito
u ovom posebnom slucaju misli samo
ma 1ntereSe radnog naroda JugOSiaVlJe,
onda on, mesto da svojim recima po-
gadja opoziciju,, stvarno pogadja svoju
"revoluciju''.
Ako ia opozicija stvarno radi protiv
interesa radnog naroda Jugoslavije -
mi u to nimalo ne sumnjamo - kako
je onda Titova "revolucija' smela toj
opoziciji dati "mogucnost da slobodno
djeluje"?
Ostavili su opoziciji (tj. burzoazijD
privatnu svojinu, ostavili SUI joj sred-
stvo "a pljackanje radnog naroda Jugo-
slavic, dali SUI joj "moguenost da slo-
bodno djeluje' - onda je optuzuju
da 'djeluje" protivno "interesima ma
roda", tojest, da djeluje burzoaski!
Valjda "komunisti'' ne oeekuju da
burzoazija "djeluje" - antiburzoaski!
