“On the anniversary of the death of the national hero Commander Stane, a ceremony was held in front of his birth house, in memory of the heroism during the National Liberation War. We should be grateful to all those who fought for the Slovenian land and nation. They fought and won to get Slovenia back, and we must nurture it. This is our history that cannot be erased,” the president of the SD party, Tanja Fajon, wrote on Twitter on the 7th of November 2021, posting a collage of photos in which she and her radical colleagues paid tribute to war criminal Franc Rozman – Stane.
The falsifying of history, which the successors of the Communist Party still insist on even 30 years after the disintegration of communist Yugoslavia, is downright shameless. Franc Rozman – Stane was not a national hero who fought for the “Slovenian land and nation.” He was a revolutionary communist executioner who systematically killed anyone who could have been considered dangerous for the communist revolution on Slovenian territory. Even his comrades were too ashamed to write about his bloodthirstiness over his own people. They preferred to only talk about such things to each other – in person and probably in whispers. However, proud successors of the Communist Party, led by Tanja Fajon, continue to worship the executioners of the Slovenian nation to this day.
According to historian Ivo Žajdela, Franc Rozman – Stane fought in the Spanish civil war on the side of the communists. He was also trained there so that when he returned to Slovenia in 1941, he was able to immediately start implementing communist purges. Rozman Stane fought a war on two fronts for the Communist Party – officially, he fought one against the occupier, but in reality, he was fighting against Slovenians. Namely, he and his detachment killed political opponents of the communists in the name of the communist revolution. In a statement for Siol, Žajdela also said that Rozman Stane and his partisan butchers brought nothing but devastation wherever they went. “In this task, the party leadership sent him to the front battle lines, where he organised and led the partisan units. These units, especially from the spring of 1942 onwards, began to massacre Slovenians who could have potentially opposed the revolution.”
Rozman Stane’s partisans stole and murdered
Žajdela cites the murder of three civilians on the 26th of October 1941 as one of the examples. Namely, the three civilians were murdered by Rozman Stane in Dobrovolje above Vransko, and the whole thing looked like a revolutionary murder. According to Žajdela, Rozman Stane was a blind executioner of the criminal revolutionary policy of the Communists. With their so-called “second group of detachments,” they killed and robbed Slovenians at every turn in May of 1942. And the SD party still insists on describing this man as a “national hero.”
As commander of the main staff of the partisan army, Rozman Stane was also involved in the great communist crimes of 1943 and 1944. He was to blame for so many partisan crimes – from what happened in Turjak, as well as Žužemberk, and several other partisan destructions of Slovenian lives and property. “His partisan comrades left immense devastation behind – with victims and misery,” says Žajdela. Who needs an occupier with “national heroes” like these, who mutilate their own nation?
The SD party also paid homage to Kidrič
This is not the first time that the SD party leadership, along with its president, Tanja Fajon, has paid homage to the bloodthirsty communists. Namely, the leadership of the SD party has never come to the realisation that in modern Europe, the idealisation of any totalitarian regime of the 20th century is completely unacceptable. This applies to fascism, national socialism, and also communism. On the 5th of May 2020, Fajon was seen with then-president of the party, Dejan Židan, and SD MP Marko Koprivec, bowing down in front of the statue of Boris Kidrič, another Communist murderer. At the time, the leadership of the SD party also laid a wreath at the base of his statue.
The SD party also worships Kidrič, despite the fact that it was actually him who ordered the massacre of all ideological opponents – including the leaders of the Liberation Front in 1941, on behalf of the central committee of the Communist Party of Slovenia. Even his communist comrades were not safe from his purge. One of them was also Angela Vode, who, unlike other communists in Slovenia, did not support the agreement between Hitler and Stalin. The other communists celebrated the pact between the leader of the German National Socialists and the Soviet Communists, and in honour of this agreement, they established the Anti-Imperialist Front on the 27th of April 1941 in Ljubljana in order to fight England, France, and America. When the agreement between Hitler and Stalin failed, the communists in Slovenia began to falsify historical facts and insisted that they actually established the “Liberation Front” on the 27th of April 1941, in Vidmar’s villa.
