    and yugoslavia’s socialism would still be around today!

    Not really though. Do note that the Yugoslavia (and Albania) were the only socialist countries unaligned to USSR that fell together with USSR. It points on that they were still protected by the USSR presence, and the west assault on them was enough to topple them. They would not survived alone regardless of Tito’s reforms.

      If it had fallen from the outside, it would be much easier to re-establish. Also maybe yugoslavia could get some nukes or something. Sorry, I’m just rambling at this point. A united socialist balkans would be beautiful. Heck, just Yugoslavia still being together would be great! I fear they will never unite.

        It fallen from combined inside and outside influences. Just outside, as you said, would made it easier to defend and reestablish. Inside ones were never enough to explode it before, but without even distant protection of USSR and under political, economical and military attack by the west it was more than enough.
