THE SYNERGY BETWEEN MOBILIZATION PRACTICES AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF SOCIALIST POWER IN DEMOCRATIC FEDERAL MACEDONIA
Andoni Andreev
(Summary)
On 2 August 1944, in the monastery of St. Prohor Pšinjski Monastery
an Anti-Fascist Assembly for the People’s Liberation of Macedonia
(ASNOM) was convened. This venue was tasked with the establishment
of the future socialist Yugoslav Macedonian statehood.
The new
state formation was named Democratic Federal Macedonia, in line with
the vision of Tito’s partisans for the reconstruction of Yugoslavia on
socialist and federal principles. The following months were a dynamic
period in the history of Yugoslav Macedonia, characteristic of which
was the construction of the administrative infrastructure of NOO (People’s
Liberation Committees) and NOF (People’s Liberation Front).
The NOO’s served as organs of local administration whose powers
were practically all-encompassing, whilst the primary functions of
NOF were to be the main organizer of the various mobilization practices
(mass gatherings, street actions, voluntary work, etc.) in the new
state entity.
The period of DF Macedonia (2 August 1944 – 31 January
1946) covers the initial stage of constructing socialist social, political and economic relations in Yugoslav Macedonia – a process combined
with the penetration of the Communist Party of Macedonia (and its
continuations – the state-controlled organizations) in all levels of society.
This paper claims that a distinctive synergy can be observed in
the historical timeline of Democratic Federal Macedonia between the
deployment of various mobilization practices and the establishment of
the socialist Yugoslav Macedonian state and nationhood.
