Broz, Josip. "Speech at the First Congress of Worker’s Councils." Lecture, First Congress of Worker’s Councils, Belgrade, Serbia, June 25, 1957. Marxists Internet Archive.

 This speech was given by comrade Tito at the First Congress of Worker's Councils in Belgrade, Serbia, as an address to the elected representatives in attendance, and served many purposes, chief among which was to urge the participants to press issues that faced the burgeoning economy in order to correct them immediately, so as to continue to compete with far more advanced economies around Yugoslavia, and his vernacular was very typical of Tito, in it's warm encouragement to the people of Yugoslavia, and it's subtle but bellicose position towards both the United States and the Soviet Union, reinforcing his popular non-aligned stance.
 This was a critical time in the development of the Yugoslav economy, as the nation had just began rolling out desperately needed improvements to it's industrial sector, and was beginning to decentralize in order to solidify the legitimacy of the nation's anti-Stalinist practices. It was the very first Congress of Worker's Councils which would eventually become essential entities in the nation for years to come. It was also advantageous for Tito to take advantage of the waves of Nationalism emanating from the country as a result of very recently achieving that which no other had ever achieved before, in establishing a genuine socialist regime via popular revolution.
 As per usual, Josip Broz relied very heavily on both logical appeal, and appeal to the emotion via incorporation of popular sentiment to reinforce the points of his speech, and of course, as the beloved president of Yugoslavia, his credibility could not have been matched in the eyes of the audience. His words are very personable as opposed to the often distanced feel of the common modern politician, and he is not slow to use the popular term of endearment 'comrade', as it appears in relation to the audience exactly 5 times.
 Known to be very stoic, Tito's speeches almost always carried a sense of exigency, as he never once was thought to be vain or disingenuous when addressing a formal party in his nation, and the gravity of what could be said by an authority figure such as himself was always extensive as a result of the fragile and turbulent nature of the new and revolutionary nation. Of course, as elected officials, those in attendance were already aware of the sweeping transitions the government intended to impose on Yugoslavia in the years to come, considering how transparent of a state Yugoslavia was. 
 It was up to Josip Broz at this time to set the stage for this landmark congress, and to deviate from the norm of fluidity, and grace that was always present in Broz's speeches would have been nothing short of inappropriate. The Slavs are a logical people, and Tito was a master of using reason to persuade.
 Not a single citizen of the Socialist Republic would ever take the words of Josip Broz for granted. When he spoke, if at all possible, all 22 million Yugoslavs would listen. Considering the importance of this convention, his assessment of the purpose and goals of it were considered little short of law, and had he not delivered them as he had, the success of the congress could be brought into serious question, as the purpose and goals of it may not be entirely clear to it's participants, who were largely under-educated peasants no less than a few years prior.
 Tito's approach to Socialism was the most successful of any. In his speech he spoke of the nature of his country's democracy and economy, and that nature is absolutely essential to the stance of any good Communist today. His thoughts on context specific issues such as identifying the challenges of modernizing and communally managing a newborn economy, as well as general issues such as the nature and utility of foreign criticism, are absolutely divine in the eyes of those who still yearn for the world he helped create and lead. As a Communist and a Yugoslav, given the response I've already typed out, I believe it goes without saying how and why his words matter to me.
