capitalism may be res<strong>to</strong>red. Yugoslavia presents a typicalexample <strong>of</strong> the res<strong>to</strong>rati<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> capitalism.It shows us that not <strong>on</strong>ly is it possible for a working-classparty <strong>to</strong> fall under the c<strong>on</strong>trol <strong>of</strong> a labour aris<strong>to</strong>cracy, degeneratein<strong>to</strong> a bourgeois party and become a flunkey <strong>of</strong> imperialismbefore it seizes power, but even after it seizes powerit is possible for a working-class party <strong>to</strong> fall under the c<strong>on</strong>trol<strong>of</strong> new bourgeois elements, degenerate in<strong>to</strong> a bourgeois partyand become a flunkey <strong>of</strong> imperialism.
