Milovan Djilas Nova Klasa.pdf Guide

Milovan Đilas's 1957 work, The New Class , argues that the communist revolution failed to create a classless society, instead producing a new, parasitic political bureaucracy that exercises a monopoly over the economy. The book highlights that this new class secures its power through collective ownership and totalitarian control, using Marxist ideology to justify its privilege and exploitation.
