In the 26th episode of the Actualitica Podcast, the guest is Zoran Pusić, president of the Antifascist League of Croatia and a prominent human rights activist.
Podcast topics: the ongoing war in the Middle East, World War II, and communist Yugoslavia.
Mr. Pusić explains the motives, significance, and potential outcome of the bloody war between Israel and the U.S. against Iran. To what extent were Donald Trump and his administration fascist, considering the undemocratic measures in domestic and foreign policy?
Why was it important to establish the Antifascist League in 2014? Has the organization justified its existence? What was the NDH (Independent State of Croatia) in political and historical terms? What is the significance of the National Liberation Struggle (NOB) from 1941–1945 in Yugoslavia, specifically in Croatia? How would Croatia’s fate have unfolded if the Partisan movement under Tito had failed to win the war? To what extent was the Chetnik movement under Draža Mihailović antifascist, and to what extent was it a collaborationist movement serving the German and Italian occupiers? What were Tito’s most important achievements, and what were his greatest failures? Could Yugoslavia have survived under the principles of (con)federalism and pluralistic democracy?
Our esteemed guest addresses these and other questions. Essential listening for all lovers of politics and history. Editor and host: Matija Šerić.
