		Djilas, on the other hand, only seven months after the death of the dictator in Moscow began a series of commentaries in Borba that culminated in his expulsion from his party jobs at a special plenum in January 1954, as well as his governmental offices.
		Djilas was being watched - and listened to - no longer in a party villa on Dedinje hill with the grandees, but in a downtown apartment.
		In “Storm,” Djilas wrote: “national communism is incapable of transcending the boundaries of communism as such, that is, to institute the kind of reforms that would gradually transform and lead communism to freedom.

	New class - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		A theory of the new class was developed by Milovan Djilas, who participated with Tito in the Yugoslavian Revolution, but was later purged by him as Djilas began to advocate democratic and egalitarian ideals (which he believed were more in line with the way socialism and communism should look like).
		Djilas claimed that the new class' specific relationship to the means of production was one of collective political control, and that the new class' property form was political control.
		Finally Djilas predicted a period of economic decline, as the political future of the new class was consolidated around a staid programme of corruption and self-interest at the expense of other social classes.

	Milovan Đilas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Milovan Đilas (1911-1995) was a Communist politician and theorist in Yugoslavia.
		Much later [in 1954] he became one of regime's best-known critics and as useful critic of post-war behavior of Tito and his totalitarian Communist Party, Djilas was in USA and Western Europe fully amnestied for previous crimes and remained a dissident - almost hero.
		Djilas was arrested for his writings and for his support of the Hungarian Revolution and sentenced to nine years in prison.

	[Mpls] Minneapolis Nomenklatura
		Djilas' conception built on the earlier ideas of Jan Machajski and James Burnham, but his invention of the term "new class" caught the imagination of many in both communist countries and the West.
		Djilas' basic point became part of the critique of the system by dissidents across Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, and it generated such later studies as Michael Voslensky's 1980 classic, "Nomenklatura," which described in greater detail the nature of the new and ever less ideologically committed power elite in the USSR.
		Because Djilas understood the nature of communist regimes so well and was not blinded by their ideological protestations, he recognized that the ruling classes of these countries would ultimately understand that to survive and prosper they would have to shed their ideological shackles.

	Milovan Djilas
		Djilas was commander of the resistance forces in Montenegro and Bosnia during the war.
		Djilas was arrested in November 1956 and charged with "slandering and writing opinions hostile to the people and the state of Yugoslavia." Djilas was eventually sentenced to nine years in prison.
		Djilas, in contrast, had been a true believer in Stalin, awed and excited to go on pilgrimage to someone he had visualized more as a deity than as a man. The observations have the immediacy of a thriller, acknowledging Stalin’s intelligence, his directness and rough humor, the underlying passion and irrationality.

		Djilas began to write articles in the party press questioning the perfection of Communism, still to be sure in the turgid idiom of Marxism.
		Djilas kept a prison diary, most of which consists of abstract reflection, perhaps because he was so much in solitary confinement.
		Factionalism was still as important as ever, Djilas writes, for it did indeed “chew away at ideology and the system from within.” Glasnost, or openness, at last gave the more and more militant dissidents their chance of a public hearing at home.

		Djilas was one of the first Serbian intellectuals to condemn Milosevic's politics of fear and victimization, and he frequently compared the Serbian leader to Stalin.
		Djilas was even more disturbed by the enigma surrounding Milosevic, which endowed the Serbian leader with exaggerated powers and tended to ignore broader political dynamics and the Croatian role in the war.
		Djilas didn't appear to have a ready answer -- or perhaps he was too exhausted to address a question put to him hundreds of times before.

		There is no more damning account of the corruption of the Communist system than The New Class, published by Djilas in 1957, not long after he became disillusioned with the Communist regime in Yugoslavia that he had helped bring to power.
		Djilas had been thrown into prison by Tito in 1956 for hailing the Hungarian uprising against the Soviets.
		To any who may be nostalgic for Communism as a unifying force in Yugoslavia, Djilas had an answer: It was four decades of Communism, he observed, that had denied Yugoslavia the chance of developing the institutions and practices of civil society, without which the country disintegrated into warring ethnicities.

		Djilas wrote this book - a political condemnation of communism - in 1957, while he was in prison in Yugoslavia.
		Djilas is moderately famous for prophecising the end of communism from within, because by forswearing Stalinist methods, the regime would cast doubt on the goals of its programme.
		Djilas says that history may well forgive the communists much of what they did, given the circumstances forced upon them, while at the same time condemning communist methods as the negation of its goals.

	E. Germain: Theory of "State Capitalism" (1951) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		As we have seen, Djilas is incapable of proving the existence of “state capitalism” in the USSR on the basis of his references to the Marxist theory of the state and of property.
		Today all this disappears completely from Djilas’ analysis, is struck from the map of the world by a single stroke of the pen and shamelessly replaced by the phrase on the “democratization” (in the bourgeois sense!) of the relations between the colonies and the metropolitan centers.
		Djilas’ theory of state capitalism is to the Yugoslav Revolution what the theory of “socialism in one country” was to the Russian Revolution – an attempt at a theoretical justification of the conservative back-sliding of leaders of a victorious revolution.

		Six years ago, Milovan Djilas, the man who coined the term "new class" that helped to explain both the nature of communism and also the reasons for its largely nonviolent collapse, died in Belgrade at the age of 84.
		Born in a Montenegrin village in 1911, Djilas joined the Communist Party and rose to become a close associate of Yugoslav partisan leader and later President Josip Broz Tito.
		Like many prophets, Djilas saw the details of his argument ignored both when he made his predictions and when they came true, and most analysts in both East and West have forgotten what he said about the nature of the new class.
