Interview: Ivan Ergić
We really are a colony, of course, suited to economic neocolonialism. And I think it started already in the eighties. In addition to our kleptocratic elite, there is capital from all sides - from those directly from the East and West, to that whose real owner is often unknown in the Kafkaesque world financial system. I always find it amusing when someone from more developed countries criticizes the so-called business environment, especially in terms of corruption, and I wonder - wait, aren't all those companies making deals with the corrupt elite in those semi-developed countries of the world? And those compradros elites are preparing a legislative and anti-worker environment that favors that type of economy. I think that Serbia lacks a strong authentic left, sufficiently nationally conscious, but socially oriented, with a realistic geopolitical overview of things.
