Peasants and the League of Communists at the End of the Eighties
Ivan Magdalenić
Sažetak
The article analyses recent data
on the participation of peasants in
the League of Communists in
Yugoslavia. It indicates a continuous
trend of increasingly smaller
participation in membership,
which can not be stopped even
with occasional campaigns for
greater enrollment, which result
in only temporary increase in the
total number of members, without
stoping the relative drop in
membership. Statistics give the
reason for this as being the
unfavourable member of those
ceasing to be members, compared
to the number of new members,
with regard to the total membership
of the League of Communists. It
is shown that there is a relatively
high number of peasants amongst
those who are banned from
membership, than those who quit
party membership voluntarily. This
consequently leads to the conclusion
that peasants are treated more
strictly than other party members.
The figures show that
deagrarization is responsible for the
loss for more than a half of the
members lost from the ranks of
peasants. The paper also presents
unexpected information showing
that membership of young peasants
in the League of Communists is not
lower than for the rest for youth.
Statistic data are supplemented with
the opinions and comments of the
surveyed members of the central
committees of republics and
provinces.
