Andrej Grubačić

thumb|Andrej Grubačić Andrej Grubačić (born 1976) is a Yugoslav world historian, world-systems theorist, and activist based in the United States. Quotes Before the French Revolution, the idea that change is possible, change is normal, change is even something that is good, has been universally rejected by traditional monarchistic ways of thinking about the way that the world works and the way that history moves. Anarchists were always skeptical of Marxism, because Marxism was a modernist ideology. Don’t Mourn, Balkanize! The future of Europe, should there be one, is in the Balkans, not the other way around. The reader will find me contradicting myself, as well as making mistakes and trying to correct them, all of which reflects my own development as a protagonist, propagandist, and essayist. About "Don’t Mourn, Balkanize!" The history of Yugoslavia is of global relevance, and there's no one better placed to reveal, share, and analyse it than Andrej Grubacic. Raj Patel, About Grubačić Andrej Grubačić was born to a revolutionary family. His grandparents were socialists, and his grandfather represented Yugoslavia in the founding and aff airs of the Non-Aligned Movement. He grew up nourished on the ideas and reality of workers’ self-management and a particular path to socialism that was democratic and put people first, celebrating the particularity of every person, and the complementariness of collectivity and individuality. These qualities are present in Grubačić’s writing and his persona as an anarchist, or “libertarian socialist” as he prefers to be known. He has brought a new hope of unity in struggle, and the old-fashioned principle of “an injury to one is an injury to all” to the scattered movements in the United States.
