yugofuturism

8 January 2025

Designing an alternative reality where Yugoslavia joined after the WW3, and continued the path forward into a futuristic socialist society. Now, designing the Yugoslav society step by step will be an interesting task that will include posters, propaganda, advertising, products, society infrastructure, imaginary buildings and institutions, etc. We love daydreaming, and we love crafting this. And also we love Yugoslavia and we miss it so much, we need to create it on our own through digital means so we get to daydream we live there in that beautiful and peaceful society. This takes a little bit of role-playing and the current year of writing is 2035. Hope you enjoy the ride! (more…)

Classic der Dicke – Hustler

books hip-hop music reviews

26 November 2024

Josip Broz Tito about the unity of the republics and Yugoslav identity

quotes

22 November 2024

“None of our republics would be anything if we weren’t all together, but we have to create our history — our Yugoslav socialist history, that is unique, in the future — that is our path; not touching the national rights of the some republics to preserve their own traditions, not at the expense of, but in the interest of the whole community, to mutually complete each other. That is what we want, and not the destruction of our unity.”

− Josip Broz Tito, Split, SR Croatia, SFR Yugoslavia (1961). On the picture 📸 is Saddam Hussein lighting Tito’s cigar in Baghdad, Iraq (c. 1979)
