Croatian socialism

Book cover of "Path to Croatian Socialism" by Aleksandar Seitz, 1943

'Croatian socialism' (Croatian: Hrvatski socializam[a]) was the social-economic ideology promulgated and espoused by the Ustaše movement in the Independent State of Croatia during the Second World War. The Pavelić regime produced extensive literature about the economic and political organisation that the new Croatian state would follow, concluding to adopt a purely Croatian type of 'socialism', strongly inspired by Nazism, based on class collaboration and ethnic nationalism for the common benefit of the Croats. The authorities argued that the so-called 'Croatian socialism' was the appropriate model for the nature of the Croatian people, which throughout its history had been characterized by its community, solidarity and cooperative spirit and by its worker-peasant structure. 'Croatian socialism' was theoretically elaborated in the works of philosophers Stjepan Zimmermann and Čedomil Veljačić, sociologist and ethnologist Mirko Kus Nikolajev, as well as the syndicalist Aleksandar Seitz.[1][2]
