Titoism

Titoism is an authoritarian and  market socialist ideology. It's located in the Authoritarian-Left quadrant of the political compass, around the center of the quadrants Y axis and the third quarter from the center of the quadrants X axis. It believes in uniting ethnic and religious identities of the Balkans, and a unified Yugoslavian national identity. It works with both NATO and  the USSR, but neither was happy about the fact that Yugoslavia refused to the aligned with their imperialist bloc. It's widely considered to be the most successful form of Market Socialism.

History
Josip Broz Tito is a Croatian communist revoluntionary who rose to power in the 1940s, when he relentlessly fought against  Nazi imperialists and their collaborators, such as  Ustases to genocide the Yugoslavian people. Tito's resistance movement received massive assistance from the USSR, the  United Kingdom under Churchill, and  FDR's America. Tito also convinced Churchill to aid the Yugoslav Partisans under his leadership, rather than the  Serbian ethnonationalist Chentiks out of pragmatism.

Initially a Stalinist who participated in the purges against anti-Stalinists within the communist party by following Moscow's orders, Tito grew to distrust Moscow after the USSR occupied entire eastern Europe. Tito, as a proud Yugoslavian nationalist, does not want Yugoslavia, a country that won its independence from the Nazis largely independently, to become the subject of another imperialist power. There were also several diplomatic rifts between Moscow and Belgrade over the status of Albania and Bulgaria. Moscow initially approved Tito's Macedonization and attempted to absorb Bulgaria and Albania into a so-called "Great Yugoslavia" but later grew skeptical of Tito's ambitions. Stalin personally ordered his loyal allies, Hoxha and  Dimitrov, to scrap the Yugoslavian project altogether, which led to pro-Yugoslavia politicians in their countries, such as  Kostov and  Xoxe, being arrested executed by the Stalinist regimes, respectively. Additionally, Stalin opposed Tito's finance of Greek communists as he believed "there was no way for them to win power" and that it could piss off the west. Tito also refused Stalin's request for collectivization as he believed SFRY should adopt a Lenin-style NEP to build up its economy before any attempts of collectivization. All these diplomatic rifts came to a full-scale conflict when Moscow, along with all its puppet regimes in Eastern Europe under the so-called "Cominform," expelled SFRY from this international communist organization. Moscow cut off all aid to SFRY and organized dozens of assassination attempts against Tito, but none succeeded, thanks to the protection of the UDBA against the Soviets. As tensions grew, Yugoslavia purged or prosecuted all Stalinists within the country and looked to the west, America under the Truman administration offered both financial and military aid to SFRY, amid fears of a Soviet invasion in 1951, just like how the USSR occupied all other Eastern European countries. The British Prime Minister Clement Attlee also entered into a trade agreement with SFRY and the relationship of both countries peaked. The Stalinist USSR was angered and furious, and it launched a massive campaign to purge alleged Titoists and national communists within the Soviet bloc to snuff off disloyal communists, dissents, and nationalists who wanted independence and self-determination of the Soviet Empire.

Meanwhile, the SFRY launched a massive campaign of market socialism to promote its unique model of the economy with workers' self-management policies, worker-controlled firms, and the promotion of cooperatives to develop its path to socialism. Big businesses and industries, however, were nationalized and remained under state control, but small businesses and sole traders remained legal. Nevertheless, this economic policy initially proved successful with the massive boom in the Yugoslavian economy and quickly industrialized SFRY without the famines and bloody gulags of the Soviet Empire. It proved to the world that socialism could be achieved without being a puppet of the Soviet Empire. After the death of Stalin, Nikita Khrushchev and the new Soviet leadership attempted to court Tito, and both countries re-established diplomatic ties. The USSR reaffirmed the SFRY's sovereignty and independence to pursue its socialist path as Khrushchev developed the theory to recognize the "third bloc" of countries that were neither aligned with the USA nor the USSR. The relationship between both countries began to heal. Even so, the Soviet imperialist invasion of Hungary in 1956 deteriorated the relationship between SFRY and the USSR again, and the SFRY was absent from the international communist meeting in 1958 by refusing to recognize the leadership of the USSR in the newly formed Socialist Camp of Warsaw Pact and Comecon. Titoist Yugoslavia formed the Non-Aligned Movement, along with  Nasserist Egypt,  Nehru's India,  Sukarno's Indonesia,  Nkrumah’s Ghana and many other non-aligned and anti-imperialist countries in 1961 to oppose both the imperialist blocs of the USSR and the USA. In 1968, the USSR under the leadership of Brezhnev invaded Czehzhslovakia, which the Titoist regime of SFRY strongly opposed as another social imperialist attempt. This era can be seen as the peak period of the SFRY as its domestic economic and political situations, and international reputation all reached their peak. SFRY was respected abroad by both superpowers.

However, SFRY's international flame and situation began to deteriorate since the late 1960s as many non-aligned countries changed governments and became American-aligned, which prevented any chances of forming a third bloc as a bulwark against the Soviet and the American imperialists. The SFRY also suffered a heavy blow from the energy crisis due to its reliance on preferable prices of external trade with the USA and the USSR. It was forced to accept IMF loans and structure adjustments of the Yugoslavian economy. This saw the rise of inflation, corruption, and exploiting of the supposed worker-controlled firms and the rise of the de facto private sector with entrepreneurs, along with the decline of productivity. Even with these reforms, the Yugoslavian economy continued to deteriorate, and so were ethnic tensions. Tito's 1974 Constitution devolved more power to the individual nation-states within SFRY. But it failed to improve the situation. After Tito's death, Yugoslavia began to fall apart quickly. With the USSR's decline and the collapse of the Eastern Camp in 1989, SFRY too suffered an economic blowout, which saw the rise of ethnonationalism, such as Slobodan Milošević. The Serbian leadership believed in Serbian chauvinism and insisted on the centralization of SFRY to benefit the relatively poor Serbian Socialist Republic, which conflicted with the more liberal opinions of member states, like Slovenia, which supported a confederation. These conflicts eventually collapsed the SFRY and caused a full-blown civil war, which saw genocides and ethnic cleansings such as the Bosonian Genocide.

In today's former SFRY countries, especially Serbia, Tito is still remembered more or less as a national hero who chased out the influence of totalitarian imperialist dictatorships of both the Nazis and the Soviets and forged an independent path for SFRY. Many people miss multiculturalism, low inequality, free healthcare and education, and genuine workplace democracy in SFRY. Although some also remember the days of oppression under his authoritarian rule and the brutal secret police UDBA's prosecutions of dissents and anti-communists.

Theory
Titoism is a variant of Marxism-Leninism but applied in the  SFRY (Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia). Unlike Stalin's original ML thesis, Titoism opposes  collectization of agriculture, and instead proposes a  market socialist form of economy that is closer to the  Leninist NEP. Titoism is also firmly anti-Stalinist. In contrast to the bloc politics of the Stalinist USSR and his successors, including  Nikita Khrushchev and  Lenoid Brezhnev, Tito proposes an independent national path and national self-determination for all oppressed nations, and insist that every country should determine their own path of socialism, as opposed to the  social imperialist way of the  USSR. Just ignore Tito's own imperialist behaviors in Macedonia and his attitude towards Bulgaria, Greece, and Albania.

Stylistic Notes

 * Titoism should always be scarred, as in the infobox, to symbolize the policy of bratstvo i jedinstvo in attempt to hold the Balkan rivals together. These scars can be open, one panel at a time, to reveal a ex-Yugo flagball underneath, especially a nationalist movement flag (see below).
 * Titoism is a heavy smoker and should be identified as such with a cigarette or, especially in the company of Western communists, a cigar.
 * Optionally, Titoism's right eye can have an eyepatch. This can also be a reference to him being forged after World War II. He can also wear Tito's cap and glasses.
 * Titoism is afflicted with intermittent bouts of schizophrenia, during which he may curse and praise insane concepts like human rights and independence for the Yugo states... truly insane.
 * Despite this, he should still be a competent and calculating fighter given his feats against [[File:Fash.png]] Fascism and ability to work with both the [[File:Cap.png]] Capitalist and [[File:ML.png]] Communist bloc.
 * Titoism speaks Serbo-Croatian and English. If you know any, use common words (e.g., dobar dan, brate, etc.) or words that have an English cognate (e.g., komunizam, specijalna policija, etc.) He can also use the Cyrillic alphabet for stylistic effect.

How to Draw
Tito_flag.svg Drawing Titoism is fairly simple:
 * 1) Draw a ball
 * 2) Draw a line in a deep shade of blue (#0005cd) sectioning off the top third of the ball, white (#ffffff) for the middle, and red (#ff0000) for the bottom.
 * 3) Fill all thirds with their respective colors.
 * 4) Draw a star with red (#ff0000) and give it a thin outline of yellow (#fff301). Make sure the star's top lateral arms are in the white, not the blue!
 * 5) Draw the eyes and fill in with white (#ffffff).
 * 6) Around the eyes, draw scars from stitches. At least one stitch scar should be below his right eye.
 * 7) To make a cigarette, use (#f2b600) for the filter with a black (#000000) outline so that the white (#ffffff) section of the cigarette flows into it. Use orange (#ff8a00) for the cigarette cherry and grey (#838383) for the smoke.
 * 8) Turn the smoke's transparency down to ~40%, and you're done!
