Summary/Abstract: The author indicates some aspects of the approach to the plurality of interests characteristic of various theoretical and political traditions. Most socialist revolutions were conducted under the motto of equality and leveling. Pluralism, in economic, cultural and ideological sense, is identified with structures and relics of the class system. The early stage of development of Yugoslav socialism had additional motives to consider the abolition of pluralisation of national, religious, cultural-historical, economic and other characteristics as a precondition for its existence. The nation of interests was recognized only in the non-political sphere, in the form of acceptance of the individuality of -subjects- or associations, though again under strict supervision. The author is particularly interested in the following questions: what Is the benefit of simply declaring a system as pluralistic; what is the empiric correlation between the pluralism of interests and the existing institutions of self-management democracy; what is the character of the pluralism of interests in Yugoslav society?
