THE ERA OF DECADENCE
THE ERA OF DECADENCE

Summary/Abstract: The tectonic wave of historiographic revisionism that along with rehabilitation of the Chetnik movement and its leader Draža Mihailović hit Serbia like a natural disaster is only a segment – though an important one – of the global revanchist crusade of the philosophy of state egoism against the idea of internationalism. The said crusade has been going on for several decades; and, as things stand now, it managed to place the once powerful idea of internationalism on the margin of social consciousness. The idea of internationalism reached its summit when its main protagonist, the Movement of Non-Aligned Countries, was at the peak of its strength, in 1960-80. Main issues of intellectual engagement of the time were the threat of a nuclear war, hunger and poverty in underdeveloped countries, debt slavery, emergence of a new international economic order, struggle against colonialism, climate changes and ruthless destruction of natural environment.
