No, Tito supported collectivization - there are even many Serbs, including kosta50 of FR - whose parents' property was taken under Tito's rule.

Also, the Serbian wine industry of families and individuals was destroyed in Tito's time.

The building of the St. Sava Cathedral, the largest Orthodox temple in the Balkans, (which had been started a few years before WWII), only began again in 1985, after Tito was gone.

Tito pushed atheism on the Serbs, while, at the same time mosques were going up all over Bosnia and Kosovo (Yugoslavs referred to Kosovo as Cape Canaveral because of all the rocket-looking minarets).

Tito, who directed U.S. and British bombing - they allowed him to choose targets - had them bomb directly Serbian churches to harm their faith and show them there was no God. The U.S. wrote hateful messages on the bombs which could be read when they didn't explode.

Tito seized all private property in Yugoslavia in the years immediately following WWII.

In 1950 he introduced his "self-management" policies - in which the seized, collectivized property became the collective possession of the "workers" who were managing the stolen property.

These "workers" were allowed to benefit from the excess value their production generated - in other words theyw ere allowed to participate in the "profits."

This is basically a combination of Soviet collectivization and syndicalist Communism.

After 25 years of this, Tito began allowing individuals favored by the state to begin profting individually.

Milosevic's policy, of granting property concessions to favored cronies was not different in any noticeable respect from Tito's late 70s policies. Milosevic was a Communist and Tito was a Communist and they pursued the same economic policies.

Tito, who directed U.S. and British bombing - they allowed him to choose targets - had them bomb directly Serbian churches to harm their faith and show them there was no God. The U.S. wrote hateful messages on the bombs which could be read when they didn't explode.

Thanks for the added lying, anti-American propaganda.

Again, I point out that it is hilarious that you America-bashers are questioning my ancestry and patriotism.
