Thank you for this write-up, I honestly mostly refrain from trying to understand what is happening in Bosnia since everyone, including Bosnians, just rightfully assume it's a shitshow not worth wasting your braincells over. There is certainly no love for any politicians here, not either from the conservative of liberal camps, although you will see plenty of boomers falling for the endless fearmongering of new wars with old combatants. But it's not too difficult to convince most people of the west's failing in every aspect.
What is very difficult is to get them to a proper materialist understanding of the world, since plenty of people here love to be "autochauvinists" as we call them and just assume the reason why all of our countries are shitty is because of some great intellectual and/or moral failing compared to the west. That the west is apparently not subservient to the laws of the same system as we, and that this generalized mass of people is just shitty because we are lazy, stupid, capricious, jealous or all of those things at once.
Or there are people on the other side who just give up and say that it's all some western "globohomo" conspiracy that aims to destroy the cradle of an ancient balkan civilization lmao. Some of these people do realize the general system of imperialism, but are often caught up in these moronic reactionary conspiracy theories that instead divert them from the real cause of the problem.
For example, as I said in another comment, lithium is a very important critical resource that we posses, and so as a natural monopoly can be exploited to our benefit to give us some breathing room in terms of our status of servitude with the likes of Germany. But discourse around here has either devolved into a minuscule group around Vucic who support Rio Tinto digging that shit up, or the majority of people that oppose the digging not only because it's a private company doing it, but on the principle as a whole. So if you actually want to exploit it, you are basically as good as a Vucic supporter. Nevermind you could use the profits to maybe alleviate some of the consequences of pollution in Belgrade, where smog is a regular visitor. Or fix the filtration system in that same city as to not just fucking dump shit in the Danube. Or invest into solar panels, nuclear power plants and other green tech from China. As if all of that wouldn't benefit the environment of this country tenfold as compared to saving a little land of a village inhabited by like 10 people.
She talks about being harassed for being a communist, and this is what you have to say?
Also, no, engaging in those things doesn't make you a communist at all, you can do all of those things and still not be one. In fact, you could argue all of those things actually help the system you are fighting survive, especially if you're not doing them within a revolutionary organization. Revolutionary praxis does not exist without revolutionary theory, you've had plenty of horizontal movements that failed to do anything, espousing those same ideals of pure praxis and have even let counterrevolutionaries win and reverse the status quo itself.
