Marksistički teoretičar i revolucionar Vladimir Bakarić
The Marxist Theoretician and Revolutionary Vladimir Bakarić

Summary/Abstract: The author analyzes the fundamental postulates of the theoretical and political writings Vladimir Bakarić produced in the various stages of his theoretical and political activity during the postwar period in the development of the Yugoslav society. In the first stage, from 1945 up to the late 19450s, Bakarić’s interest is mainly focused on problem s of "agriculture and the rural regions" in the course of socialist development. In approaching these problems he already manifests the characteristics which were to become constant features of his whole activity: consistent application of Marx’s method in examining social relations, as his fundamental point of departure, and undogmatic, polemical assessments of specific socio-political problems in his political activity. In the second stage, from the early 1960s up to 1971/72, his theoretical interest shifts to issues of social reproduction as a whole. On the basis of his analysis of the process of social reproduction he derives his concept of the political system, including the model of the federation. In the third stage, from 1972 till the end of his life, Bakarić concentrates particularly on questions of the implementation of the concept of associated labour, in which he sees an alternative model of a system of socio-economic relations, in relation to both the capitalist and the state-socialist model of social order.
