The book’s undeniable power comes from Đilas’s credibility. This is not a Cold War tract written by a disillusioned exile from a safe distance. Đilas was the insider’s insider. He fought with Partisans, served in Tito’s highest councils, and personally helped build the system he later eviscerates.
The New Class remains essential reading for one reason: it predicted the rise of the as the dominant form of elite power in the 20th and 21st centuries. You see echoes of Đilas not only in studies of the Soviet nomenklatura but in critiques of “crony capitalism,” “political capitalism,” and even the managerial elite in Western democracies.
Few books have landed with the geopolitical force of Milovan Đilas’s The New Class . Written from a prison cell by a man who was once the vice president of Yugoslavia and a devoted Stalinist, the book is an autopsy of the communist revolution performed by one of its most trusted surgeons. It is not merely a polemic; it is a political and sociological treatise that argues a radical and uncomfortable thesis: the communist revolution did not create a classless society. Instead, it created a new, brutal ruling class—the party bureaucracy.
For all its brilliance, The New Class suffers from the very idealism it claims to reject. Đilas writes as a disappointed believer. His critique is essentially that the revolution failed to live up to its own ethical promise of freedom and equality.
Consequently, the book has almost nothing to say about a market economy or liberal democracy as alternatives. Đilas’s solution is vague: a return to a “democratic,” “self-governing” socialism (he admired the early workers’ councils). He cannot see—or refuses to see—that the centralization he criticizes might be a feature, not a bug, of state-controlled economies. He still believes in socialism without the party.
