I honestly don't know If It was funded by them specifically. I know a lot of extreme nationalist groups back in the 90s was funded by the US. Lost relatives because they didn't have much choice but were conscripted to fight. Dad's pretty traumatized too since he lived in Bosnia but moved to Serbia during the war time.
But yeah Yugoslavia built a ton of impressive shit. Housing programs were pretty great too. Though Tito was, yeah, a revisionist, but he was probably the best we had at the time. Also my grandpa actually met him and had a beer with him (not kidding btw, gramps told me this lmao).
I'm not the best like "convincer" (If that makes sense) like you did with the friend in the post. So I'm not that useful in that department lol. I'm in an org rn (NKPJ or in eng. NCPY) and I'm simply trying my best to do this stuff.
Though the left here has been in the shitter for a good while unfortunately.
