‘IF THE SON OF MAN DOESN’T SET YOU FREE …’ (9)

We could have already noticed in previous sections about the deathliness of ideologies and their differences related to the time they existed (nazism, fascism, communism), but there are also similarities and common things in all ideologies.

The basic characteristic of all ideologies is – a lie! That is the main base, then representing those kinds of social arrangements as the only good for people. (‘Communism with a human face’ that Eduard Kardelj said those days), care for human relations, justice and so, but in reality under those proclaimed theses all the cruelty is shown, the decision to liquidate people that don’t think alike, starting a totalitarian regime, with the inevitable verbal offence.

In order to keep the ideology, the social elite has to be separated from the normal society. That separation is also present in democratic arrangements because from one part of society they take to give to another class – the ruling one.

There is where it is shown how much they are enslaved with the wish to possess. In communism, no moral responsibility was connected to the estate’s property theft. There was an unwritten rule that encouraged that. ‘If you don’t steal from your country, then you are stealing from your family!’ that kind of opinion and behaviour leads to the corruption of the entire nation.

In our young country corruption and emigration of the young population who can work, in a physical sense are standing as joined containers.  Ten days after the great corruption affairs and scandals the emigration for seeking jobs outside Croatia increased, and even whole families with children left!?! At that time the rulers wrote and brought the National strategy which no one read and served to nobody. As if the National strategy serves the country itself, not the people. What is a country if there are no people in it?

Most communist regimes have a common thing to transform the leaders into divinity. Omnipotence and knowing everything is a sign of divinity. In Roman times, Marcus Aurelius had his adviser. When he was going through the streets or coming to the arena, people greeted him with delight. But all that time his adviser was walking behind him and whispering repeated to him: ‘ You are just a man.’

Making the personality cult in times of communism sometimes went as far as grotesque. In Yugoslavia’s time, when president Tito would be coming to some towns in Bosnia and Hercegovina, there were big white rocks set as the letters T I T O on the hill. In Mostar, Meho was in charge of setting those rocks. He would put rocks on a horse and climb those hills to set up the letters so that people could read from the town what those white rocks show. Returning back to the town, people would usually ask him was he tired? Once, he resigned said: ‘ Thank God that his name (the president) is not – Šećerbegović!!!’
