"A People"

Are the Balkans an extreme expression of "identity politics"? Should we be trying to foster "class belonging " among the Serbs, Bosniaks, Croats, transcending their identification as an ethnicity, a religious sect, a nation or a people? Good luck with that project. That was Tito's communist Yugoslavia, a time and space no one seems to want to revitalize. Now we have Bosnians, Russians, the Republic Sripska, Americans, Ukranians all with their insane myths and flags and greivances. The workers in these nations do not feel exploited by their bosses, they feel threatened by The Other. The other worker who is their ancient enemy. Or who is trying to cross THEIR border to take THEIR job. We The People.
