IS Yugoslavia a socialist country?This is not <strong>on</strong>ly a questi<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> ascertaining the nature <strong>of</strong> theYugoslav state, but it also involves the questi<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> which roadthe socialist countries should follow: whether they shouldfollow the road <strong>of</strong> the Oc<strong>to</strong>ber Revoluti<strong>on</strong> and carry the socialistrevoluti<strong>on</strong> through <strong>to</strong> the end or follow the road <strong>of</strong>Yugoslavia and res<strong>to</strong>re capitalism.
