Basic Changes of Individual Farmers in Postwar Development of Yugoslav Society
Vladimir Milić
Sažetak
Farmers experienced a great number
of important changes caused by the
development of socialism on one hand
and changes in the established socialistic
social system on the other in the
postwar development of Yugoslav society.
Namely, the appearance of individual
farmers as a basic form of
farming was connnected with that aspect
in the development of socialistic
methods of production that was carried
out by means of a series of socio-
political measures such as: expropriation,
sequestration, agrarian reform,
nationalization. The whole social
structure of jugoslav society as such
was being changed by those measures:
farmes, representing majority of
population till then, were placed within
the frames of individual farming,
were »compressed« within the limited
farmlands relying on their own labour
force. The established social system had
another influence as well causing
changes in the stratum of individual
farmers by means of socio-economic
measures fully expressed in industrialization.
That is, forces of production
were generally underdeveloped and
emphasis was on the progress of industry
and social sector that were to
be used as a »lever« in the realization
of socialism, in such a perspective
of development, agriculture and
individual farmers were comprehended
as material and human basis for
creating social ownership and modern
economy. But socio-economic and socio-political
measures were neither of the same
nature, nor had the same influence
upon farmers in the periods of ethat
ism and self-managing socialism. When
the socialistic self-management was
introduced and later developed those
measures became less »compulsary«
and more economic. Gradually individual
farmers became commodity producers;
at the same time their social
status became equal to other cathegories
of population. On the other
hand, under the influence of industrialization
farmers started leaving their
villages, thus turning from farmers
into workers. During the last 35 years
the influence of all the factors caused
a great number of changes among individual
farmers, the most important
being the »melting« of farmers as a
traditional category. The former patriarchal
village has thus undergone deep
changes as well.
