This misery Radica first and foremost finds in the rejection of the integration into western European and the respective US societies due to a disdain for the values<br>of liberal democracy widespread in emigre circles. In Radica\u2019s opinion, the Croatian political emigration failed to fulfil its most important task: to spread the word on the righteousness of the demands for Croatian independence in Western European and<br>the US public respectively. Eventually, Radica offers a subtle analysis of the terrorist inclinations of the youngest emigrant waves in the 1970s by using a concept of the \u201cDinaric semi-intellectual\u201d appropriated from the concept of the semi-intelligent by<br>famous Spanish philosopher J\u00f3se Ortega Y Gasset; the concept which Radica already previously deployed in describing Croatia and Yugoslavia in the immediate aftermath of World War II.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The article presents a critique of Croatian political emigration by its participant Bogdan Radica.
