Macedonia currently is in a diabolical political situation but this is all a continuation of a long-term national decay that has roots from the 19th century (when foreign propaganda from the surrounding states, eager to expand territorially at the expense of Macedonians and backed by the various contending imperial powers of the day, was murderously rampaging throughout Macedonia). As a result Macedonian national consciousness has never really solidified to match that of the aggressive nationalism of the neighbouring expansionist enemy states/nations. The SRM "state" in the Yugoslav Federation was ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATING from an ideological and national perspective and that anti-Macedonian ideological legacy has continued to this day to pervert our true Macedonian national heritage and identity. From 1990 onward there has been committed one treasonous capitulation after another and all leading to what appears to be the final demise of Macedonian national identity (the Macedonian State was already eliminated in 2001, regardless of what the Ramkovist spin merchants would like us to believe!). Lastly, IMHO, there is no way of reversing the current AGENDA of the Imperial US MASTERS, their EU sidekicks and our own marionettes for the political extermination of Macedonian national and cultural identity without mass struggle of scale and vigour! NB: National symbols are crucial elements of any national struggle and it is easy to discern that Macedonians lack national patriotic ideology from the symbols they use and display. Thus when one sees so called patriotic individuals, groups or organisations waving the treasonous and capitulationist (designed by the VILE ANTI-Macedonian Miroslav Grchev) VENTILATOR/Propeller Fan "State Flag", be certain that they are either traitors or ideologically weak and will waste and dissipate the energy of their naive followers for no real political gain.
