Thoughts on the election in Croatia

It was clear to everybody that on this election, Croatian Democratic Union will end up with worst results in the party's history. The fiasco of Jadranka Kosor's corrupt government was inevitable. However, I do not think that this new coalition made up of self-styled social democrats (an insult to the real social democrats who, despite being reformists, fought for a far more just and equal society than this) and left liberals will change anything. The system has proven itself to be an utter failure and parliamentary activity is a waste of time. We must organise in resistance to capitalism and replace liberal "democracy" (the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie) with the dictatorship of the proletariat which would be based on democratic workers' councils. That is the only true form of democracy - workers' democracy. I would also like to recommend a great article by comrade Juraj Katalenac - "Socijaldemokracijom protiv radnika" (With social democracy against the workers). Unfortunately, it is currently available only in Serbo-Croatian.
