ELEMENTS OF THE THEORY OF SELF-MANAGEMENT IN YUGOSLAVIA

Summary/Abstract: Following are three basic component parts of the theory of self-management in Yugoslavia: (i) marxist science of social development, and more particularly of socialism and alienation; (ii) revolutionary creative thought on socialist revolution in Yugoslavia and on its continuity, as well as theoretical generalization of that historical practice; (iii) experiences of the struggle of the working class and of other democratic and progressive forces in the past in relation to the conception and realization of the freedom of man, and more particularly in the function of socialism, democracy and human freedom and equality. The theory of self-management in Yugoslavia is not, and should not be, conceived as an institutional theory, regardless of the importance of institutions for the realization of the self-management socialism. As any other theory, it contains ideas, conceptions and principles on the ground of which institutions and other relevant forms are defined, and not only described. This is why it is necessary that the institutions be not conceived as pure form or scheme, and still less as organizational formalism. The basic subject matter of the theory of self-management is the socialist society. Every reducing of that theory to describing the self-management as such is but a way of unscientific reductionism.
