Are we in for a civil war?

The political landscape in Slovenia appears increasingly volatile amid growing concerns over potential internal conflict. Analysts warn that the inability of Prime Minister Janez Golob's coalition to accept its loss of power has taken alarming proportions, surpassing even typical political responses such as former U.S. President Donald Trump’s claims of election fraud. The frustration among Golob's supporters has reached a level that raises questions about whether it could lead to unprecedented actions, including the pursuit of corruption allegations, which would be more easily understandable. These individuals are clearly seeking to protect their privileges tied to a form of Titoism, their right to property, and abuses of state assets. The behavior of the United List, a party within the government, further fuels speculation. It has acted in a manner akin to support staff at cycling races, providing sustenance and hydration to leaders. However, this group has lost its sense of judgment, evident in the occasional displays of resolve by its leader, Matjaž Han. In their intellectual poverty, they no longer rely solely on the assistance of the president of the republic, Kučan and Janković, nor on the meager cooperation of public broadcaster RTVS. Instead, they have summoned long-retired politicians, even those who once demanded that Istria remain part of Croatia under the banner of “Istro Istranom.” This raises the question: Is this merely hysteria, or are we on the brink of seeing armed forces marching through our towns? There are calls for cleansing reminiscent of the famous Kardelj telegram to Kidrič dated June 25, 1945, which provided crucial evidence regarding who led wartime murders. Current political conditions are becoming a goldmine for future sociological research across various disciplines and approaches. At the core lies the belief held by members of the previous parliament that they foresaw a cosmic collapse of Slovenian democracy. Under Golob, however, there was no such collapse, yet we witnessed his farce. This is not a matter of ideology or left-wing politics, but rather a demonstration of the conviction that they were chosen by some historical forces and logic known only to them to govern. It represents a new breed of the selected, a permanent ruling class destined to rule, a kind of leftist aristocracy whose allegiance to past rulers grants them prior rights in society. Another surprising aspect is the treatment of the ethnicity of the president of the National Assembly. What a Slovenian nationalist would never achieve, he has become everything except a human being. They openly hint at his Serbian heritage, suggesting an inherent tendency toward Byzantine intrigue, bribery, and betrayal. They exploit all condemnable sins of his political followers, accusing him of tax debts while conveniently forgetting how much tax was forgiven for the Janković family. Opposition is the foundation and prerequisite of democracy. Therefore, it must be at least minimally credible in its criticisms and attacks, for both its own sake and ours. The constant bickering and performances in the name of the right to speak out in a style of “I won’t stay silent” belong to the category of family quarrels and battles for quasi-feminine emancipation; they resemble old Šankovské disputes under high tension or burlesque from human rights and feminism. Politics is neither circus nor nonsense. Most importantly, it is not entertainment, let alone the transfer of physical swinging into politics, where anything is allowed and morally acceptable in the name of a political goal. The exploitation of social struggles is the lowest form of political crime. The Slovenian Arman Left, which lost elections or power, will be particularly morally and politically responsible for promoting and spreading anti-Semitism in Slovenia. I am deeply troubled by the engagement of the president of the republic. Anti-Semitism has never been so present and powerful in Slovenian history. It was religious, social, and anti-capitalist, but Golobism with its pettiness imposes racial aspects. Despite the brutality of the Israel-Palestine war, it is not universally Jewish. The attitude towards Jews increasingly resembles that taught in the Yugoslav People's Army: “Kill the Swab.” In 1991, they demonstrated that they understood “Swabs” to include Slovenians as well. Golob's government and its entire quasi-leftist entourage especially exploit the values of the social and political struggle of the working class throughout history. Their leftism is so distorted, low, hostile to freedom and democracy, and dismissive of the working class that one feels physically ill at the sight of their supporters and advocates.
