“...the problem of Kosovo has simmered until Slobodan Milošević, Serbia's nationalistic prime minister, brought it back to the boil by his efforts to incorporate Kosovo into his fiefdom by depriving the great bulk of the population, the Albanians of Kosovo, of their political, civil and, in some instances, human rights. Serbia's communist party is the only one in Eastern Europe to have retained popular support; a trick pulled off by Milošević by his astute identification of the party with the most aggressive elements of Serbian chauvenism, encouraging the Serbs in Croatia to agitate for incorporation into a greater Serbia. Milošević seems to be reckoning that by pushing Serbian claims, even to the extent of breaking up Yugoslavia, he will be able to dominate a larger and more coherent Serbia, which can in turn pick off its less populous neighbours. However, since Croatia and Slovenia will not submit to Serbian hegenomy, and since Albanians hugely outnumber Serbs in Kosovo, he is setting the stage not just for the fragmentation of Yugoslavia, but for a civil war of potentially crippling savagery.”

“The nationalities question fit ill with Marxism. It was perhaps even more puzzling than the peasant problem. One could at least delude oneself into believing that the peasant problem was soluble in Marxian terms by extrapolating from economic data, constructing Procrustean sociologies, and predicting the inevitable splitting of the peasants along class lines. But how did one fit nationality into the Marxist scheme? Of course, according to Marxian theory national boundaries created superficial divisions compared to economic forces and the relations of production, but nationalist passion seemed to inflame people and mobilize them even more than their class interests. World War I would show how ready people were to make sacrifices for the sake of the national or imperial dignity or, in the case of the Slavs of the Russian Empire, for related ethnic groups and coreligionists. Even the discredited Romanov dynasty would be able to rally its people around the war effort—at least at the outset. This was a complication—indeed, as history has showed, a fatal one—for a Marxian socialist with a genuinely internationalist orientation.”
