-This article is about the influence of the Yugoslav Communist party on [[Croatia|Croatian]] society. The party was the main driving force in all social matters within the former Yugoslavia. Its [[Titoism and Totalitarianism|Stalinist policies]] from the 1940s to the 1960s and authoritarian rule have been mostly ignored in the Western media. There needs to be an historical reassessment.

 After the fall of the '''Berlin Wall''', a lot of factual evidence has emerged that indicate the former Communist Yugoslavia was responsible for executing mass murders, arrests and torture. Most media have turned a blind eye to these tragic issues. Very little has been reported about these unearthed historic events.
