Demokracija i socijalizam izmedu komplementarnosti i kontradikcije
Democracy and Socialism between Complementarity and Contradiction

Summary/Abstract: The end of real socialism has stressed the crisis of socialism as a political ideology and normative ideal. However, modern democracy too has entered the whirlpool of the epoch’s crisis because the crisis of socialism necessarily implies a crisis in the dominant conception of democracy. It is therefore important to re-examine the relationship between democracy and socialism. The breakdown of real socialism in Europe at the end of the 20th century does not imply a general victory of liberal democracy. The liberal-democratic set-ups have undoubtedly proved their vitality and their superiority in relation to the totalitarian challenges of the preceding epoch. Through this however they too have undergone profound changes and have assimilated many elements from the tradition of democratic socialism.
