Slavoj Žižek's Yugoslavia

What is his version of Yugoslavia like, aside from the fact that it sidelined Serbian nationalism and doubled down on communism? Is it democratic socialist? Is it more welcoming to the Soviet Union?

I'm just curious because I find it fascinating how he pursued a political career in TotATL instead of remaining a leftist philosopher like OTL.

Yugoslavia, and Žižek more specifically, have been in a strange development flow over the past few years. Once we took the Žižek lore out in favor of a Croat-centric national-communist regime, and then we brought him back due to concerns over the lore's quality.

Regardless, our plans for Žižek's Yugo have been mostly destroyed during the raids on our dev server, but according to my (faulty) memory, Žižek's position in Yugoslavia was sort of an appointed one as opposed to an elected one; he was meant to represent the more pro-algocracy aspects of the Yugoslav supreme soviet.

Any devs are welcome to correct me here.
