Hello guys, I'm starting my thesis in the next month and the theme is going to be the Serbian Radical Party and its relations with other parties across Europe. Do you know some kind of books or scientifical articles about it, in english or some possibility of any kind of translations? I'm learnig Serbian language but it's very hard for me to read big texts and books. Thank you for any help!!
In recent years the dominant political entity within the nation has been the Serbian Progressive Party, an offshoot of the previously popular Serbian Radical Party, an association which preaches Serbian strength and Muslim crippling of the nations already limited economic power.
The predominantly Muslim nation of Kosovo remains unrecognized in Serbian government, but to the SRP stands as a blatant symbol of the modern day theft of Serbian people, land, and resources.
To the SRP, Kosovo is an insult to the nation, one that must be addressed.
Police activity on the Kosovoian border has risen to new heights in response to the rape and murder of two young girls who after wandering across the border were allegedly subject to brutal beatings at the hands of unknown Muslim gang members, Their corpses were found in an abandoned building not far from a popular border checkpoint.
The current ruling party the SPR responded with the claim that the attacks were not deliberate, and were even likely perpetrated by Serbian residents who intended to instigate violence between the two groups.
While many public officials refuse to take a statement on the controversial event, the recently declining influence of the Serbian Radical party took an adamant stance on the happening, in support of the idea that the actions were taken by Kosovoian residents, and in absolute abhorrence of the lack of responsibility being taken by both local Serbian officials, and in state government.
In response to the attacks, many members of the party have rallied along the checkpoints, wielding signs pleading for justice for the two girls and a formal apology and subsequent imprisonment of all members responsible. While many protests such as these tend to place a strain on police activities, the protesters made a point of being actively accommodating to members of the Serbian police force, actively broadcasting their names in any public forums as "a fine example of the efforts true Serbian men may enact when dedicated to a life of justice" and even providing snacks, foodstuffs, and other requests, to members of the police force working late at the various locations associated with the crime.
The actions of the SRP have shown a notable increase in the interest in the party, and have garnered at the very least the respect of many Serbian police officers.
Every other developed country in the world that has a stable representative democracy have mainstream center-right political parties that are extremely more moderate in comparison to the American Republican Party. Resembling far more the Democratic Party in terms of ideological composition of policy. The Republicans resemble far more fringe, radically far right, reactionary, xenophobicly jingoistic/nationalistic, authoritarian with pensions for plutocracy parties in other countries that are not nearly the size or have the mainstream political heft that the Republicans do.
Why is this the case? Especially for a political party whoβs policy platform when examined in action is not only incredibly unpopular, terrible at actual day to day governance, and do little else but funnel or redistribute mountains of money to the already radically wealthy and large big businesses that do not need the aid as they are already mostly oligopolies while simultaneously stripping any and all little social protections, decently equitable labor laws, and social safety net provisions, that actually aid the average non-really wealthy majority population. Not to mention the incredibly repressive/authoritarian social policies that actively narrow and restrict the sphere of meaningful liberty of participating in mainstream society on some kind of even playing field, not relegated to defacto second class citizenship status of what amounts to American apartheid for everyone that isnβt an incredibly rich, white, heterosexual Christian man.
βProgressives understand that culture war means discrediting their opponents and weakening or destroying their institutions. Conservatives should approach the culture war with a similar realism,β Sohrab Ahmari writes. βTo recognize that enmity is real is its own kind of moral duty.β
Five years ago, Ahmari was a self-described βsecular mainstream conservativeβ working for The Wall Street Journal. Now a contributing editor at The American Conservative and the recently departed op-ed editor at The New York Post, Ahmari has become a fierce critic of the Republican Party as it existed before the rise of Donald Trump, a champion of right-wing populist leaders like Hungaryβs Viktor Orban and a devout Catholic who believes social conservatives need to take a far more aggressive posture in the culture war.
Ahmari may be singular, but he is not alone. His political evolution is a microcosm for the ways the American right as a whole has been radicalized in recent decades. Many conservatives today are animated by a profound sense of anxiety about the direction of the country.: A feeling that something about the American project has gone deeply, terribly wrong. A visceral fear of a βwokeβ progressivism with seemingly unmatched cultural power and influence. And a willingness to endorse ideas and leaders once considered fringe.
But Ahmari isnβt just a critic. Heβs also one of the leading conservative intellectuals trying to chart a post-Trump future for the Republican Party. One that fuses Bernie Sanders-style economic populism with an aggressive social conservatism that isnβt afraid to use the power of the state to enforce its vision of the common good.
So this conversation begins with Ahmariβs religious and political journey but also explores his heterodox political vision for the Republican Party, the surprising similarities in how radical feminists and religious traditionalists understand the legacy of the sexual revolution, his view that cultural and economic deregulation has decimated the American working class, the possibility of a left-right alliance around banning pornography, and why he views the cultural left and its corporate allies as a greater threat to American dem

So the other day I was watching the old 50s movie version of βQuiet Flows the Donβ and I gave me an idea for something to make internal politics a little more engaging. What if every party could produce a βradical variantβ that will spawn in the event of resource shortages or military disasters. I imagine a kind of EU4 style disaster ticket could be implemented, which when it fires gives the player the choice whether to stick with their empire or lead the revolutionaries. All the governors, admirals and generals could have a political alignment and when the disaster triggers sectors and fleets with radical leaders would join a new Empire in a state of Total War (like when fighting a purification War) with the pre-existing empire. (Although if the player arranges it so that every leader is either radical or non-radical some sort of βmutinyβ event should probably fire in order to keep things a little balanced). Lastly I think it would be nice to give the Revolutionary Empires some unique civics, so that the player had some incentive to play with the system. Any criticisms or thoughts on the idea. I feel like this sort of political radicalism mechanic would make internal politics a bit more engaging.
Answer: The left-leaning politics of gender is completely nuts and not grounded in real science at all (there are XX and XY chromosomes).
It is a sad fact of reality that trans people suffer from a really unfortunate mental affliction, but normalizing gender reassignment surgeries for adults/kids and puberty blockers is pretty off the deep end, thereβs lots of evidence that early intervention by psychological professionals can help children psychologically realign with their biological sex. Telling trans people they are a man or woman because they think they are is like telling anorexic people that they are as fat as they think they are. Itβs really sick stuff, and is really confusing people and ruining lives, truly. They REALLY need to stop it.

The New Communist Party of Yugoslavia (NKPJ) and the League of Communist Youth of Yugoslavia (SKOJ) submitted an official request to the President of the Republic of Serbia, Aleksandar VuΔiΔ, that Belgrade get a bust of the President of the People's Republic of China, Xi Jinping.
\"We want a bust for our friend Xi\"
The party stated:
>By placing the bust of Xi Jinping, our country would honor the people of the People's Republic of China and their leader in a dignified and symbolic way, for their great help and contribution in the fight against the coronavirus in Serbia.
The bust to the President of the People's Republic of China would be best placed in the Friendship Park in New Belgrade, not far from the Chinese embassy that was bombed during the 1999 bombing of Yugoslavia.

The party stated also:
>The reason for our initiative to raise the bust of the President of China is that this friendly country has been with Serbia since the beginning of the epidemic. The People's Republic of China sent a delegation of doctors to Serbia at the very beginning of the epidemic, and two thirds of vaccines against coronavirus were procured from socialist China, with which our citizens were vaccinated.
>
>In that way, the people of Serbia should thank the people of China and Xi Jinping. The vast majority of the people in Serbia see Xi Jinping and the Communist Party of China, which is celebrating its great jubilee this year, 100 years since its founding, as their sincere friends.
>
>We remind you that China vetoed the United Nations Security Council when NATO started the criminal aggression against our countries, and also socialist China does not recognize the false state of Kosovo^([note 1]). While others have targeted us with depleted uranium, and even today, after 22 years, they still consider it justified, China has always only helped us and defended our interests.
>
>The Chinese were the most numerous foreign tourists in Serbia before the epidemic, and the bust will only expand the interest of the citizens of this f
