"The reason our revolutionary struggle was especially difficult was that the occupier used the very

same means, only more insidiously than the previous non-people's regime, to introduce discord
between our peoples.

He favoured Paveli, Paveli the butcher of people, who murdered people by the hundreds and by
the thousands. Paveli the beast, Paveli the traitor, who sold away piece by piece of our country,
who gave Dalmatia to Italy, who even wanted to bring some duke of Spoletto to be king of Croatia. A
disgrace!

So, we had to fight the Germans and also to explain gradually and persistently to the people what it
was all about.

That it was about an attempt to prevent our country from becoming united ever again; that it was
about an attempt to create a part of Europe which will have perpetual tension and infighting until
extermination, which all suited the Fascist ideology. It was an attempt to use traitors, like Paveli in
Croatia, Nedi in Serbia, or Rupnik in Slovenia to destroy all progressive elements.

Numerous camps in our country, like Jasenovac or Gradika, stand bloody witnesses of the
bloodshed, of all kinds of methods of murder. There died, side by side, Serbs and Croats. It was not
just about the national extermination of other peoples. It was about wiping out Communists, and
progressive people, who strove towards something better than what was present.

We never spread national hatred. Where we found seduced Muslims, or Croats, or Serbs or whoever,
we explained and said:

'Brothers, don't do that!'

'It will be a great evil for the future of our peoples!'

You cannot blame an entire nation for having a small number of traitors among them. Place guilt in
the clique in power, and not in the whole nation.

They were without perspective. Their goal was to exterminate whoever they disliked! Physically
exterminate! They knew not of love of man for fellow man! Their model was murder, to find means
by which to murder the greatest number of people!

Could such men, who butchered, under bridges and in churches, innocent children and men, could
such men really expect victory in this great struggle?!

NO! They were mistaken, and let that be a lesson to everyone in the whole world!

Let that be a lesson, that our people has roots, and that once a people becomes aware of its might,
no power could ever obliterate it!

Everyone who tries shall fail!

There are still individuals today, who are looking back - encouraged from abroad, or by those we
deposed - there are people who are trying to plant discord in our ranks.
That is, to plant chauvinism. Banish such people from your midst! We are a firm, socialist country!
We must always bare in mind that the greatest achievement of our Revolution is the brotherhood
and unity of our peoples.

We must guard this achievement, so our country would never again face disaster. With streams of
our blood, we created a new society, a socialist society! We have great tasks before us, common for
every Serb, Slovene, Croat, Macedonian, Bosnian or Montenegrin! They all have in their mind and in
their heart the intention to create a more beautiful and a happier future for the present generation
and the generations to come. There is no more ethnic hatred, and there mustn't be any!"

-- Tito's speech in the town of Glino, 1952

They tried many times in every possible way

To disperse our ranks everywhere

But we never slept, their efforts were all in vain

For we have been always prepared

If you join our ranks, then you must understand

That ours is a path of suffering

But all our roads will lead to a single goal

Working class victory
