The aim of this article is to examine the political ideas of Milovan Djilas (1911–1995) developed in his dissident period (1954–1989). Once a highly ranked communist and revolutionary of Tito’s antifascist partisan army in the Second World War Yugoslavia, Milovan Djilas (1911–1995) became widely known as one of the most important dissident figures in Eastern Europe. A noted reformist since Tito-Stalin split in 1948 and political prisoner (1956–1961, 1962–1966), Djilas was deprived from all public activity in his country until the end of communist rule. Author of more than twenty books translated and published abroad, ranging from political analysis and memoirs to novels and shorts stories, Djilas never truly gave up the ideals of the young talented writer he was in the early 1930s when he joined the communists.

Declaring himself a democratic socialist, it was in his dissident period that he formulated a specific form of political philosophy which included his criticism of communist ideology and Titoist authoritarian rule in Yugoslavia, but also wider thoughts on human condition, literature and philosophy in the 20th century.

Though I consider Djilas's criticisms of the Soviet Union to be excessive, and biased by two factors (his American publisher presumably wanting as negative an assessment of communism as possible; and his own personal bitterness resulting from having been put in Soviet prisons), this book is a good account of the state capitalism that was the USSR of the time, from a man who knew the inner workings of the communist system intimately. Also, his optimism, from back in 1957, for the progress of moder Though I consider Djilas's criticisms of the Soviet Union to be excessive, and biased by two factors (his American publisher presumably wanting as negative an assessment of communism as possible; and his own personal bitterness resulting from having been put in Soviet prisons), this book is a good account of the state capitalism that was the USSR of the time, from a man who knew the inner workings of the communist system intimately. Also, his optimism, from back in 1957, for the progress of modern liberal democracy (i.e., as moving towards social democracy), I consider largely discredited, given the rise of neoliberalism that he didn't live long enough to see in full force today. But apart from these imperfections, the book is a good read.
