It was just recently that public university students made a peaceful march in streets of Sarajevo, protesting against governments' failure to deliver free transportation to students as promised.

Reaction of general public to this action of students has been positive and supportive of their cause, which only confirms the fact that the belief in socialism and big government is alive and well in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The following is the, rarely ever considered, libertarian point of view on this issue: 

For some time now a debate has been going on how to allow for greater representation of Croatian language in Bosnia and Herzegovina's Federal television. Currently, Federal television is being dominated by Bosniak staff and TV programs are spoken in Bosnian language, geared for Bosniak viewers. Croat population obviously feels excluded and wants some changes. One serious suggestion is to establish a separate TV channel in Croatian language.

First off, it is important to point out that the left-right political scale is incomplete and as such it is false way of looking at the political spectrum. It contains only the economic part of the political spectrum. On the left side of this scale are those who want varying degrees of government control over the economy. Those include progressives, socialists, and communists at the far left. On the right side are those who want greater freedom of the country's economy. Those include conservatives, libertarians, and anarchists at the far right.

What led to fall of Soviet Union and Yugoslavia? The same thing that is now destroying the United States: inflation - printing money out of thin air. That is a classic unlearned lesson in economics which is repeating itself since the Roman Empire.  In this next video famous policy maker from former Yugoslavia Ante Marković comments:

Traditionally, the word "Liberal" is associated with 1. maximum individual freedom, where individuals are free to live their lives the way they choose and to freely engage in economic affairs, and 2. minimal government, restricted to protection of individual freedom (maintaining strong military and police force) and mediation of disputes (judicial system).

However, over time the term liberal has become perverted and associated with socialism and big government.

The following video is a short introduction to political spectrum and political systems, the most important lesson in politics. And what a better way to learn than from experts, here’s a must-watch video interview of G. Edward Griffin from Freedom Force International who gives an excellent explanation and comparison of the important political concepts.
