Talk:League of Socialist Youth of Yugoslavia

Retlationship of the SSOJ and the League of Communists of Yugoslavia
The formulation presently offered in the lead "... youth movement attached to the ruling League of Communists of Yugoslavia (SKJ)..." is vague because it does not say how was it "attached".

Specifically, reliable sources indicate that the SSOJ was not a part or youth wing of the League of Communists of Yugoslavia (SKJ). It was a part of the Socialist Alliance (SSRNJ/SAWPY) like all other political or quasi-political organisations other than the SKJ and its republican branches since the People's Front was renamed SSRNJ in 1954 at the direction of the SKJ/Tito. Of course, the SSRNJ and the SSOJ were entirely dominated by the SKJ, but formally the SSOJ was an organisation member of the SSRNJ, not the SKJ.

To confirm this, see for example: Fred Warner Neal: The Communist Party in Yugoslavia, The American Political Science Review, Mar., 1957, Vol. 51, No. 1 (Mar., 1957), pp. 99-100 (the entire article: pp. 88-111) available through JSTOR.

As an aside, the references in the article requre page numbers for verification. Cheers--Tomobe03 (talk) 12:13, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
