Za dijalektiku klasnog i nacionalnog
For the Dialectic of the Class and the National

Summary/Abstract: The manner in which Mirić approaches the issue of the sovereignty of labour, which is in the focus of his analysis, leaves open the question of the extent to which the sovereignty of labour must be mediated, in the context of the present interest structure of the Yugoslav society, also through national interests. Mirić mentions explicitly the pluralism of national interests but does not apply an analytic approach at that level of the problem This issue is all the more important in so far as the working class is no "pure" class but is situated in the reality of the society’s multinational structure. The question of the so-called federalisation of the League of Communists also requires a clear-cut approach. There is undoubtedly need for reinforcing the principle of democratic centralism in inter-party activity, but in the direction of democratic unification, not of some new authoritarian decision-making. The problem of social integration in general is regarded in a one-sided manner. The discussion of the federation focuses too much on the aspect of the state, on the classical constitutional-legal aspect, neglecting the associative dimension of integration. The relatively low degree of development of the dimension of federalism in Yugoslavia is all the more absurd as the self-management trend of social development presupposes exactly its reinforcement.
