My criticisms of the current economic reality of Montenegro, and even some of the proposals that I make from time to time, obviously do not "penetrate" to the ears, not to say a little deeper, of those for whom they are intended. I console myself that it is because they do not read the "News", and not because I am a senile old man, lost in time and space, whose time is running out, not to say whose use-by date has expired. (I'm surprised that they know everything that's written in those newspapers, if they don't read them. It's not, I guess someone, again, is spying.) After all, I was the "old leadership" and when "fortunately for our people and nationalities '', they came to power, even though I was around forty at the time. So, their (then) youngest, who are now in their "prime years", are much younger than they are today. Orni to do at least 17-18 more winning elections, or break the record of King Nikola at the head of the state.
However, the elderly also like to live. I found an original way to try to extend my life. I will write about the Montenegrin economy, when some positive event happens, which will, at least a little, "brighten up the Montenegrin Mountains". If I can stand it. In both senses.
Fortunately, or "fortunately", Montenegro is inspiring for many topics. Like:
Every city in Montenegro that has at least one street with four carriageways gave that street the name Revolution Boulevard. Those cities that do not have boulevards, but have such and such streets, due to shyness and possible reproach, did not give the names Revolution Street. Imagine if a street of about 50 meters, often dug up and without a sidewalk, was named Revolution Street. It would be a "bruka" that the whole of Montenegro would write and talk about, because the Revolution associates and implies something big, enormous.
There is no city in Montenegro that does not have (or did not have) the House of Revolution. These are those objects with multiple functions, mainly in the field of education and culture, and sometimes just monuments to remind and enlighten the younger generations. The most famous is the one from Nikšić. If it continues like this, the number of people killed in that imaginary temple of the revolution will approach the number of people killed in the revolution itself.
There are countless streets with the names of fighters who died (or died) in the national liberation struggle and the socialist revolution, and as far as I know, there are two streets in Montenegro (not counting the one in Gvozdova) with the name of Josip Broz Tito, the leader of both that struggle and that revolution. A grateful and enlightened people to their best sons and daughters. And the biggest idea.
The revolution was the essence (being) of socialist Yugoslavia, and therefore of Montenegro. Protected by law. The most severe punishments were imposed for the criminal offense of counter-revolutionary activity. Even mortal. Fortunately, that law is no longer in force, because few people would overtake'. The ideologues and creators of the Socialist Revolution were communists, and the founder of the Communist Party in Montenegro was Jovan Tomašević. The headquarters of the DPS of Montenegro, which is the successor of the Communist League (property), is next to the monument to Jovan Tomašević in Podgorica. Those who enter those rooms, and there are many of them, almost "scratch" against the monument. All the delegates of last year's DPS Congress passed there. And at the Congress, two capital resolutions. Approximately: the further development of neoliberal capitalism and the reconciliation of the Montenegrin and Serbian Orthodox churches in Montenegro.
"Salt and eyes". For a man to make the sign of the cross, even if that's why he was kicked out of the Communist Party.
Some will find justification in the fact that the building of the DPS headquarters is located "behind the back" (monument) of the old revolutionary.
There is a Boulevard of Revolution in Bar. He was supposed to "connect" the old highway with the new passenger railway station. None of the “hooking up”. For a long time. Revolucije Boulevard is the address of the Bar local self-government, but also of political parties that are for Montenegro, that are "for Montenegro", that are "For Montenegro"'' and those that would drink Montenegro in a glass of water. The new temple of the Serbian Orthodox Church also touches the revolution with its foreign touch. At the beginning of the boulevard is a gas station. I'm afraid that someone will "break".
The new boulevard in Bar does not yet have a name, but it is also revolutionary. It will cost a lot and benefit little. It will only move the "crowd" and "speed up" the pedestrians.
It happened, and very often, that the revolution (eats) its children. Most often the one from the very top. In Montenegro, the children ate their (call AB) revolution. From hunger of every kind. Who would have thought then (in 1989) that they would play tricks on the French and carry out a somewhat lesser-known bourgeois revolution, exactly 200 years later.
And what revolution are we marking and celebrating? Chetniks would also be satisfied with the current results of the revolution. Here is an opportunity and reason for reconciliation. That's why, for everything in the future (home, boulevard, etc.) to which you plan to give the name of revolution, you must indicate the type of revolution and, if possible, attach the user manual.
Well, the fact that Europe allowed us to start the story with it is not exactly a great revolutionary achievement. A story that few know when and how it will end. It would have been revolutionary if we had accepted their request to join the EU in 1991. Then these same Europeans were in power. They chose another - the wrong way for us and for others. But they are not the only ones to blame. They had much more support then than today. Back then, they were sure of the results of all kinds of elections and referendums. The beginning of the negotiation looks to me like that - someone breaks both of your legs and then generously buys you crutches. Nevertheless, we walk a long way.
The elections are coming. Trembling, and even fear of the results, everywhere. I remembered an anecdote from the funeral of a deceased person. No one will give a speech, because the deceased "wasn't anyone". Nevertheless, one of them was "encouraged" and said: "Rust killed you dead, because you didn't take care of this day". Progress to the rest.
