Ratko Mladic: Controversial Thinker cancelled by the Left and Right

Obituary

The controversial Serbian military leader and politician, Ratko Mladic, passed away this week; Mladic was known for his maverick statements which earned him the ire of the ‘Woke’ Left and the Ethnonationalist Right alike, while inspiring defenders of Free Speech and Western Values everywhere.

The controversial Baroness Claire Fox had this to say. “Ratko was a powerhouse of ideas and an old Comrade. The Bosniak dogs must perish. Avenge Vukovar and Kosovo Field!”

Mladic, surprisingly, began politics as a stalwart of the Old Left; like many idealistic young people, he joined the Communist Party of Yugoslavia (“for my sins”), although in later life his attitude to the party was similar to that of his favourite football team (Spurs).

James Heartfield, another controversial close friend and confident of Mladic, was ‘devestated’ at the news. “The Archangel St. Michael will lead the armies of Orthodoxy against the Satanic prison of the Hague.” He added.

But like so many working-class Socialists, Ratko was disturbed by the rise of oikophobic identity politics which characterises the modern, metropolitan Left.

“I don’t care if you identify as a Croat. Define what a woman is. I bet you can’t.” Was a characteristically plain-speaking utterance from Mr. Mladic on the topic, during his “cancellation” by the International Criminal Court of the Hague.

Controversial journalist Brendan O’Neill, who also knew Mladic, said that his legacy remains “misunderstood.”

“Ratko was a provocative and insightful thinker who addressed some of the big issues facing Western governments in the 21st century. Let us honour his memory by clearing away the Turkish rubbish from the valleys and mountains. Great Serbia from the Adriatic, to the Black Sea!”

In later life, Ratko fell victim to the conspiratorial thinking of the so-called Groypers of the ‘Woke Right’ who spread unfounded rumours about concentration camps in his Serbian Republic. But the idea that local authorities would collaborate in covering up systematic abuse by an ethnic minority has been thoroughly debunked by Spiked (formerly Living Marxism). Many of the so-called victims of Srbrenecia were basically just hanging out with their boyfriends, who plied them with sugary pop and choccie biscuits.

“Tell me what a woman is!” Ratko would cry, before ordering another artillery strike on a Kosovar red cross column, defiant to the last, showing no truck at all for so-called “political correctness.”

An anonymous source, the ‘Igbo Sceptic’, summed up Mr. Mladic’s memory for us all:

“I’ll always remember Ratko holding court after a long-lunch, or sitting in ‘Rako’s Corner’, at the Marquis of Granby, with a pint in his hands and a fag in the other, haranguing anyone who dared listen about the state of the world.”
