Wikipedia’s Communist Propaganda Articles!
Wikipedia’s article on Dictator Josip Broz Tito is mostly Communist propaganda of the now defunct Communist Party of the former Yugoslavia. As it turns out Jimmy Wales has provided a perfect vehicle for propaganda of this type. The article is written by Editors from Croatia and supported by other Editors who have Communist leanings. It is written in a totally non-encyclopedic fashion and does not represent contemporary views. After the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the former Yugoslavia, factual evidence has emerged that Josip Broz and his regime was responsible for executing mass murders, arrests and torture. The worst of these events was the notorious Bleiburg and Foibe massacres.
The usage of Wikipedia as a tool for promoting this type of propaganda is second only to Google itself. It is quite possible that this came about due to the fact that other editors and Admin are simply uneducated in these matters. This exposes a major flaw in Wikipedia which is that “a group of editors can learn to work the system so they can promote their own point of view, so that the article will become a stated Wiki fact, and itself a piece of history".
The article doesn't even mention that Josip Broz's and his fellow communist were committing economic suicide in the 1960's and 70's. Factual statements on economic realities of Josip Broz and his fellow Communists:
- Encyclopaedia Britannica states: "At his death, the state treasury was empty"
- BBC UK/History by Tim Judah: "The economy was built on the shaky foundations of massive western loans."
- Ivo Goldstein 'Croatia A History': "People could obtain so much free or for less than the market price (e.g. apartments) that they could be obtain without work."
The above states the failure in the economic management of Josip Broz and his fellow Communists of the former of Yugoslavia.
Note: Ivo Goldstein is a Professor at the University of Zagreb & former Director of the Institute for Croatian History of the University of Zagreb. Zagreb is the capital city of Croatia.
