Quoting - »ad rem«, and exclusively in order to illustrate the written viewpoint, the following examples:
a) »On the basic elements of its program the most important Slovene political formation, the Liberation Front,
had probably already agreed on at its founding meeting in April 1941. Ten years later at the 3rd Congress of the
Liberation Front the development of people's democracy and the developing of socialist relations was again
fatally discussed. The famous program of the League of Communists, which had at that time awakened and long
continued to awaken an intense interest of all the socialist and advanced world, and which with its broadness and
far-sightedness succeeded in providing a frame for an independent, extremely dynamic development of the
socialist socially political and cultural relations within the Yugoslav society, was accepted at the 7th Congress of
the League of Communists of Yugoslavia, in April 1958 in Ljubljana… With the "Čebine" program the CP of
Slovenia showed itself to be a new modern, popular front political force that respects and acknowledges
democracy and the different ideal and political convictions of its fellow countrymen. Such a popular front
program had great prospects to find fertile soil among the Slovene public masses for the KPS to fortify its
legitimate place within the Slovene nation. The development which followed the "Čebine" manifesto confirms
the evaluation that the Slovene nation would accept only such a broad democratic popular front program and that
only with it did the Party succeed to decisively break through into the Slovene democratic masses …« (Janko
Prunk. Ph.D.: Mesto ustanovnega manifesta KPS med slovenskimi narodnimi programi, Izročilo Čebin,
Komunist, Ljubljana 1987, pp. 196- 204).
»This program of the Anti-Imperialist Front (The mottos of our National Liberation War, TN) was a program of
the socialist-Bolshevist type and its concept grew into the Liberation Front… It was always and primarily
interested in a socialist revolution of a clearly defined Bolshevist type. If we fail to consider this, then we are
speaking in a completely amateur way, past the things that modern historical science is clear on.« (Janko Prunk,
Kratka zgodovina Slovenije, Ljubljana 2002, p. 143). See also the journal Žrtve vojne in revolucije, p. 127).
»That is why Boris Kidrič was an inexhaustible source of faith in the revolutionary goals and full of optimism in
overcoming difficulties. He was a practical revolutionary worker and organizer, and at the same time a thinker
and a Marxist theoretical creator, who made an important contribution to Slovene and Yugoslav socialist
thought. In his person he combined the best Slovene cultural tradition, the spirit of Prešeren, Levstik and Cankar,
and joined it with the spirit of the international Marxist revolutionariness, with which he tried to realize the great
dream of a national and social freedom. He is one of the most important men of Slovene and Yugoslav history.«
(Janko Prunk: Boris Kidrič, Mladinska knjiga, Ljubljana, 1984, p. 1).
»The Liberation Front holds a special, glorious place in the history of the Slovene nation…Hence writing about a
phenomenon that has already been so intensively scientifically and documentarily, as well as publicistically,
treated, and of which such profiled evaluations are given, as had been given of the LF by its creator of genius
Boris Kidrič and by some of its other leaders, is in no way easy. The least that can happen to a writer of a new
discussion or historical essay is that his or her writing turns out to be poor and one-sided, and cannot reflect all
the broadness of the action and meaning of the Liberation Front that had encompassed, and, with a creativeness
unknown before that time, shaped all the spheres of life in the Slovene nation« (Janko Prunk, Ph.D.:
Zgodovinsko poslanstvo Osvobodilne fronte slovenskega naroda, Borec ¾, 1981, p. 149).
»A markedly Bolshevist view of the National Liberation Struggle and the future socialist society was shown by
the direct leader of Slovene communism in the LF Boris Kidrič at a communist conference at Cink in Kočevski
rog, from July 5-8, 1942, by stating that the Party still needs the Christian Socialists in this phase of the struggle,
however, that it will probably part with them in the next phase, that is, in the construction of socialism, since
socialism can only be constructed by Marxists, dialectic materialists. This is a distinctly narrow, sectarian
Leninist view, which had caused socialism around the world and in Slovenia an enormous amount of damage.
The leading Slovene communists held on to it tightly during the war and after it…«. (Janko Prunk, Ph.D.:
Pojmovanje revolucije v različnih segmentih OF in NOB, Žrtve vojne in revolucije, pp. 127-128).
On similar viewpoints by the same author towards Edvard Kardelj see Edvard Kardelj in naša revolucija, Teorija
in praksa, year 16, No. 7/9, Ljubljana 1979, p. 589-863: »As an independent and Marxist thinker, set in the
environment of the small Slovene nation, Edvard Kardelj was also aware from the beginning of his revolutionary
activity of the decisive importance of the national issue for the socialist transformation, for in the national issue
of the little man he also saw a social issue. Therefore to him the National Liberation Struggle was actually a
synthesis of the solving of the national issue and of the socialist revolution… With his great political talent,
Kardelj had surpassed the scope of his own nation and established himself as a recognized ideologist of the
Communist Party of Yugoslavia or the League of Communists of Yugoslavia, and also contributed greatly to the
treasury of international Marxist thought.«
