The Work of Village Basic Organizations of the League of Communists in Vojvodina
Milan Župančić
Abstract
In comparison to villages
elsewhere, village organizations of
the League of Communists in
Vojvodina have rather a large
number of members. An enquiry
carried out in 42 village BO LC
(1977) showed that every fifth
village BO LC has over 100
members, and larger settlements
have several Basic Organizations.
The social composition of those
organizations, however, is
predominantly non-agricultural:
their members are mostly workers,
clerical workers and pensioners.
All questions important for village
life are taken up in the work of
the BO LC. That means that the
LCY is carrying out its leading
ideological role in the village.
Agricultural problems and those
of the agrarian policy take up an
important, although not the most
important place in the work of
village BO LC. Farmers are among
the more active members of village
organizations, but because they
are insufficiently represented
in the social structure of the BO
LC they cannot make their voices
well enough heard in the filed of
agrarian policy and the
socialization of agriculture.
The author considers that
farmers — LC members should be
organizationally enabled to
participate in the work of BO LC
in organizations of associated
labour in agriculture, which would
provide a better framework for their more active participation in
the realization of the agrarian
policy than are local BO LC.
