“The essence of the left-wing rule is the frightening announcement of violence,” said Slovenian Democratic Party’s MP Branko Grims, commenting on a list of names shared by the renowned instigator of hatred, Janez Stariha. The left-wing option already announced a “blitzkrieg” before the elections, and immediately after taking power, a “purge” of all those who cooperated with the Janša government will apparently follow.
Recently, a post made rounds on Twitter, which included a list of prominent Slovenian cultural figures, and was published by the “communist” Facebook page Radio svobodna Ljubljana (Radio Free Ljubljana), which is known for inciting violence and hate speech. The list was also shared by a well-known advocate of violence against those who think differently from him – Janez Stariha. The cultural workers on the list have been “blacklisted” and described by him as “the biggest Janšaists and collaborators of Janšaism in culture.” Among them are also those who do not belong to the right, such as the director of Cankarjev dom congress hall, Uršula Cetinski, but the left announced revenge against all those who dared to cooperate with a “non-left” government for the good of the state.
“This list explains the essence of the left-wing rules in two ways: 1. It is a frightening announcement of violence, 2. The list includes the most prominent names of Slovenian culture. The pro-Putin announcement of “persecution of fascism” is an announcement of a violent showdown with success, development, true culture, tradition,… with the essence of being Slovenian,” the Slovenian Democratic Party’s MP, Branko Grims, commented on the list in question.
Visible incitement of violence and hatred from the left
Radio Free Ljubljana is known for its extremely hostile statements, but the following are just a few of the titles with which they visibly encourage violence and hatred: “President Borut Pahor, do you still have a conscience? Immature and incapable when it comes to critical moments in history, people call you a Squid for a reason. Resign and go to the landfill of history.” “What Radko Mladić is for Bosnia and Herzegovina, Janša is for Slovenia: THE SEED OF EVIL.” “With all of this transparent projection, I am just waiting for Janša to accuse Mesec of being bald, burly, disgusting, and of having a Dolenjska accent.” “Tomorrow, it is Borut Pahor’s turn – the greatest traitor of Slovenian democracy. A president without respect, without colour, smell, and taste. He is affectionately called Squid. Come, the more there will be of us, the sooner we will get to the finish line.”
Communist or leftist terrorism
Despite the fact that communist or left-wing terrorism has declined markedly after the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union, it is still present in some parts of the world. As the name suggests, it is a form of terrorism inspired by a strong communist ideology, and its main purpose is to overthrow the government and carry out terror and violence. The description of left-wing terrorism is extremely consistent with the vocabulary and incitement of violence of the distinctly “communist” Facebook page of the Radio Free Ljubljana, which is full of hatred and criticism and insults for those who think differently, which is worrying, especially given the change of power and takeover of the left.
